Well, my brother and I have been looking forward to the upcoming Chuckles figure for a while. This was my brother's most anticipated Joe ever until we saw the pic of proto Chuckles in the "Assualt on Cobra Island" 7-pack from the '09 Toyfair. In both the Cobra and Joe 7-packs that're coming out this year, every single 25th figure seems as best I can tell to be a pretty faithful recreation of the original figure, except for Chuckles. Instead of the original pastel blue shirt he's got a drab dark gray shirt, and for some reason gloves. For my brother this really sucked considering he had been looking forward to a "classic" Chuckles since the 25th line was announced. Now, I realize that in the grand scheme of things a messed up Chuckles figure is a light matter, but this is supposed to be a 25th ANNIVERSARY line, if they can get the other 13 figures right why not Chuckles?
Never mind my rant, but I just wanted to have a poll here to see what the general Hisstank opinion was on whether they want a "classic" or "modern?" Chuckles. |

Classic...save the "modern" versions for the sci-fi movie line. Man, I was soooo trying not to hate on the movie until today. Screw it!

I like the new one minus the gloves. I think darkening the shirt brought his look up to date without ruining the figure and its nostalgia.

Not a big chuckles fan, but would much rather prefer a classic figure. The look of the original set it apart. This one looks like just another repaint. Maybe it will look better once we see what gear the figure comes with.

I consider this a new, unknown, Nightforce Chuckles. See, the other Joes insisted that Loud Shirt Chuckles change before they let him to take part in the Cobra Island Invasion. Who wants to be standing next to a guy wearing a light-blue with pink flowers shirt when the bullets start flying?

I'm not bothered by this Chuckles. I'm a fan of chuckles and this one is no worse than other figures we've had in the past. Hasbro can't please everyone, there's always some small issue someone has with almost every figure. I hate the arms they gave Mainframe, but there was no outrage at that. Gloves on Chuckles are an easy fix and the shirt isn't that big a deal to me. It's still a Hawaiian shirt. I mean the original toy was always darker than the cartoon was and I'd assume that an undercover agent would have a few different shirts anyway
