I think we are probably due for another Snake Eyes since Snake Eyes and Timber v2 are shipping now.

If - and only if - this were to come out in the middle of a year with at least four or so other waves I would not be mad at this lineup. Heck, if Pulse offered a Classified version of that mail-away BAT troop builder set I'd buy it in a second.

Hawk isn't even remotely in the same league as Optimus Prime, easily the most recognizable Transformer and the linchpin of the entire brand. Many non-Transformers fans know who Prime is and can tell you what he generally looks like. Hawk is not only not in that league, he's not even playing the same sport (I would say even a tee ball to MLB comparison is giving Hawk too much credit).
I don't have any objection to them making Hawk, but he's hardly a critical figure, particularly for people who are fans primarily based on the Sunbow show or the first years of the ARAH toy line. |

I suppose we will have to agree to disagree on that opinion. I would argue that Hawk is much more important to G.I. Joe than Optimus Prime is to Transformers, and I am saying that as a huge Optimus fan. An argument can be made that Hawk is the most important protagonist of the franchise (though admittedly, he is overshadowed by Snake-Eyes in terms of exposure).

I could see Wild Weasel as a single-carded (boxed) figure. I'd rather have a variation of a Cobra Trooper with the FANG. Maybe with a red mask or something. I can't look it up right now, but I think I remember an airborne trooper coming with one of the 25th FANGs?

And there are at least a dozen other Joes who are both more popular and more recognizable, regardless of their rank. Optimus Prime is one of the most widely known toy/cartoon characters of all time. He's a pop culture phenomenon. It's ludicrous to compare an obscure, later-released Joe to him. Edit: Cut a lot of this post. Suffice it to say, just look at how many Optimus Prime toys have been released compared to Hawk's releases. There's no comparison between the two characters or even between their relative importance to their respective brands.
