because there is no point in making new artwork for previous characters.

I'm pretty sure there's a thread started that has Wave 9 cardbacks posted and they have Croc Master and Mutt/Junkyard on the back.

yes. but the weird thing is, that the character whose card you are looking at, is NOT pictured. For example, the BAT cardback shows all of wave 9 except BAT. I personally dont like this idea. You would think after 25 years of making these, they would know what the fans like.

My view of wave 8 was that it was a bit rushed to get product to retailers and to get certain high profile figures back onto shelves. With the exception of Major Bludd (who is a delayed release), the entire assortment is composed of what I would consider core GI Joe characters, with only about two figures worth of new tooling between 6 releases.
