I know they are supposed to be revealing a "new look" sometime soon but I have no idea if it will be a new scale or just a new 1:18 sculpt.

That was the point, that they looked the same. Even though Snake Eyes was all black, like Stalker who was camouflage, and Zap who was a different shade, the uniform was pretty much the same. They felt like a cohesive unit/Special Mission Force. I agree, Scarlett was the stand-out, but that's what made her awesome. You gotta remember the timeframe and where Joe had come from. The "uniform" aspect was the perfect gateway to attract kids who'd had 12" GI Joes, to ARAH. "This is still GI Joe, just a little different."
You almost seem annoyed for some reason, that people actually dig the O-13. lol |

sure the 0G13 are a little drab by comparison to later years, but they were so awesome when they showed up on the scene. several figs, enough variation appearance and specialty, file cards with cool bios, then tanks, jeeps, gliders start showing up. even more fun.
when the next wave hit, snow job, torpedo, gung ho, etc., they took it up another level of awesome. yeah, joe may have hit its stride in later years, but i just can't separate them. drab or not, they're still awesome to me. to each his own, and not hating, but i wouldn't trade those guys for all of 87 to 90-whatever. And with all of the awesomeness that you mentioned in wave two, throw in the Dragonfly, Skystriker, HISS, Destro and Bludd. The second wave absolutely took it to another level and started to show that this line was going to be special. Wave three was just as good as wave two in my opinion. |

The JUMP platform was always one of the dumbest 'toys' to me. It's just a piece of plastic. Does nothing. And it doesn't make sense. You have a jetpack that can fly ANYWHERE. Why do you need to take off from the platform? What does the 'control panel' control?
I just never understood the JUMP. Like a lot of '82, it may not have aged well. Compared to later GI Joe years it sucks, but that's not a comparison anyone was able to make at the time. |

Ordered from Pulse, another Snow Job, PP Officer and PP Crimson Guard today. Also added on retro Recondo. Had him preordered, then cancelled; and then saw Punk with Toys put Snow Job head on TF Recondo. Decided I will do same, have retro Recondo and use TF Recondo for Snow Job head. Order already shipped this afternoon!
Ordered a Stalker figure from Amazon to use his head on a Snow Job buck. Then I got thinking, going through my figures, and I do not have many heads for Stalker buck. Hasbro, we need some more black figures outside of Cobra Troopers/masked figures. Throw in Asian (cool they added Parth); and Spanish too. More than white dudes. I do not have Infantry Soldier yet, so gonna order one of them and try the masked head on Stalker. Seems a lot are using soldier more for his accessories anyways. But serious, how are there not more black dudes? If you want to be creative and continue to expand line, how about we add more diversity too. This is not meant to be offensive. Outside of Roadblock and Stalker, which named characters do we have? Shooter and Shadow Tracker do not work well on a Stalker buck. |

Only thing I remember about before swivel arm battle grip was my mom playing Joes with me and proceeded to break my few straight arm Joes trying to bend their arms like they were '83+ figures.
