At least it?ll be more obvious when Skybound get round to doing their Transformers ones, with red for the Autobots and purple for the Decepticons! |

If your springing for the faux leather covers I would not. Faux leather has a bad tendency to flake and peel off after a few years.
A lot of recent faux leather covers from books printed in China are having their covers deteriorate. The recent deluxe hardcover faux leather J.R.R. Tolkien books have been having severe cover peeling just sitting on the shelves. If you've ever had a pair of headphones with a faux leather band, a pleather belt, or even an older car seat with faux leather you've probably seen the issue where the material starts cracking and flaking off, that's whats happening in the book community currently. |

I don?t know how everyone else feels about this, but am I the only one thinking it?s a crazy missed opportunity for the Joe version to be printed in blue rather than green? I feel like its a no-brainer for the Joe ones to all be in the same green the likes of the MOBAT, VAMP & the like have all come in, I generally associate blue with Cobra (after red of course) and really want the Joe version, but don?t want it in blue.
Am I missing something for it to be done in blue instead of green, can anyone explain it to me? I?m just wracking my brain on trying to work out why they chose it is all. I like blue more than green so it works for me! |

Actually, strike that - I'd prefer everything be olive drab with no variant releases. I can't explain why, but it bothers me that there will be two versions.

It bothers you because as a collector, you will not have it all (unless you spring for two sets, which is an extravagant purchase/waste of money).

If it was another franchise I wouldn't care, but to willingly pass up something that is a special Joe collectible that I could obtain irks me on some level. Also, what if twenty years from now I look back and think, "By gosh I should have gotten the red ones!"? 😂 |

Silly, isn't it?

Also, what if twenty years from now I look back and think, "By gosh I should have gotten the red ones!"? 😂 My ideal one personally would be olive drab colours with two Joes & two Cobras. I feel like Snake Eyes & Cobra Commander are the first two obvious ones, with Duke & the Baroness as the other two. |
