I remember the day I saw my Canadian friend's Action Force collection back in '83-84... And I could see that some were just repainted versions of my Joes, like Stalker = Snake Eyes, Red Jackal = Destro and so forth, but the majority of the line had the same 5 point articulation that Star Wars figures had, which I thought sucked, and I really didnt want anything to do with then when we mixed our troops and fought our big battles.
However today I look back more fondly at Action Force before it dumped the Red Shadows. I love the old Red Shadows, and have a nice little collection of them containing at least one of every figude, regardless of their articulation. And even Baron Ironblood, with his limited posebility (he cant even hold any of the guns he was ever included with whither it was the Uzi or Han Solo's pistol), I still love him. But when I look at the Joe line I def dont feel that same warmth. Believe me I prefer POC quality stuff, but if I had to accept an odd assortment of figures with different forms of articulation, then what the hell sure, but there is just something that doesnt settle with the Retaliation figs, and it prob has a lot to do with blue and orange guns, weird outfits, and def not movie accurate gear. Its almost like someone new is managing the budget at GI Joe and doesnt care for it like the previous guy did. Reminds me of how bad Star Wars got with the Power of the Force line, where everyone looked 'roided out. The playsets were insulting, and someone just didnt give a shit and that is what I see from Hasbro now. |
