There are solid cases of every figure, but normally those are only sent to webstores, not retail. So it is possible one Target got a case of 6 Gung Ho figures by mistake its not likely. Especially since the 6x Gung Ho case would have come out when he was a new figure and not now when he's being repacked with vipers/bats.

It's weird, because Flynn states people love Cobra Commander, but do you want to associate him with the clan, yet he also mentions Darth Vader and Stormtroopers and George Lucas has stated numerous times that he based the Empire on Nazi Germany and even the Stormtrooper name is what they called their original paramilitary force, before the SS took over.
Lucas likes to flop back and forth on things. |

Then again, I've also seen the Redeco Scarlett and Roadblock in a Target store a few times in the past six months. |

Yeah but by RotJ Lucas was mentioning that the Empire was in fact based on the U.S., with the Emperor based on Nixon and the cuddly Ewoks based on the Vietcong. Which would tell me the Stormtroopers were then supposed to be U.S. Soldiers?

One good thing the Disney stuff has done is add better female and alien bad guys to the Empire. I remember when the EU literally explained away Admiral Daala suddenly being an idiot post her own trilogy, because she tripped and fell on the Death Star and banged her head on a wall, giving her brain damage. Bad enough she and Leonia Tavira and Ysanne Isard, the only other female Imps, got to where they were purely by being fuck toys. Now that I think about it, I remember one of the books or guides implying the Emperor was banging Mara Jade, too. Ugh. |

If GIJoe were more mainstream right now I think people could be confused by the hood, but GIJoe is likely being supported by lifelong fans right now who didn't even see the hood out of context until Hasbro decided to shy from it.

It's not like it has a fucking point on it. And it isn't white.

I think it's safe to say most of the public (emphasis on most) can differentiate between an executioner-style hood and the dunce cap-topped hood favored by white supremacists. The only people making the argument otherwise are either infusing their own BS agendas into things, or so dumb, they probably shouldn't breed. And neither the public at large, nor Hasbro, should be kowtowing to either.
