You never do anything that isn't top notch. Excited to see her when finished.

Top 3 worst ideas in gi joe and that?s saying something.

Absolutely this. They just should have retired him to a new cabin with timber. A terrible terrible plot line to try and help struggling sales.

More female Dreadnoks. Have to get Zanya first, though.

A Zartan/Zanya 2 pack would be great, father and daughter, master and protege.
Then a 2 pack of Zarana and Zandar, punk biker twins, Cold Slither!

(The 'goal posts' haven't been moved. These are just some nice things to maybe see one day.)

As one of the over 50 crowd on here, my first foray into GI Joe was the 12" Adventure Team Talking Commander (part of the reason I thought Breaker was GI Joe). He went on many adventures with the Six Million Dollar Man back then. ARAH blew my mind when it came out. I was already super into Star Wars action figures, as any kid from that time was, so the articulation was just a game changer to me (even before swivel arm battle grip).

Believe it or not.. My entire early GI Joe life.. I had only read one comic (Special Missions #2), until as an adult I started the Devils Due run. Now of course I have all the Volume releases of the old comics. We didn't really live someplace you could run and buy a comic book back then. I freaking loved the toon when it came out and still do, and of course that informed some of my Joe verse.. but honestly I just got what I thought was cool and played how I wanted. I've never had deep thoughts about structure of the team or anything.

I am firmly in the crowd that desperately wants the OG-13 in Classified, as I've posted plenty of times, but even back in the day when I "aged out" of GI Joe I would still buy figures I liked on the DL all the way until the early 90s (Incinerators were too cool). I just made sure no one I knew was working the cash register. Man what a time to be a fan now (of anything really). Collecting is widely accepted for the most part... fandom is sort of embraced by the populace (at least in general). We had to crawl so current generations could fly.. haha

All that is a long winded way to say.. I'm down for cool action figures from whatever generation.. if it's cool.. I'll buy it. The OG-13 is a must have (they are my A-listers) but it doesn't limit my love for the entire line.

The more Dreadnoks the better! I'd honestly love for them to make some new members as well. They're all so bonkers so they seem like they'd be fun to keep creating.

Im all in for new noks as well just not cletus and all the dumb ones give them a better look and not so generic they all remind me of the episode when thrasher/monkeywrench were trying out for the noks the others all locked too generic even for dreadnoks

Hahaha, yeah I agree with you 100%! I'm sure Lenny & Co. can come up with some really interesting new ones that will look less generic than those ones. Those name are hilarious! Billy-Bob, Cletus, Joe-Bob, Otis, Roscoe, Vance. Seems like a few nods to the Dukes of Hazzard there. Crusher just looked like a Gnawgahyde clone/rip-off with a mohawk. Demolisher would probably be cool to see, think he's the only one of those later Dreadnoks that was alright and felt more unique and also fit in with the existing Dreadnok lineup.

Storm Rider would actually be a good one and could come with a motorcycle. Although I'd want them to make him look more like a 'Nok than Cobra though. Maybe drop the Cobra symbol on the bandana and give him additional tattoos that are full sleeves this time and maybe even some on his neck or face for a more extreme look.
