I don't mind repaints. But do we really need 10+ CCs or IG Destros?
Repaint cool figures like Wraith, Jungle Viper, Range viper, Lamprey v1 and 2, etc. Do it now Hasbro! |

The problem with that is the figures you think are cool might seem like crap figures to others. We get the most repaints of SS, SE, CC, Destro and Duke because these are arguably the most important and popular characters in the line.

I know. But at least they could give them new equipment and we need more Fireflys and Zartans.

I actually liked the Deep Six/torpedo ROC repaint, and got all excited about the Wetsuit repaint, but seeing a better pic of Wetsuit, I'm not too thrilled.
My 2 biggest gripes about repaints, are the bad repaints packed with cool new figs, and army builder repaints that come out in cooler colors after you've built your army, like ROC ParaViper, ROC Target EEl, and TRU Snow Serpent |

This is the reason i don't buy any new Gi JOe stuff ,they subscribe to the three "R's" ,repaint ,retool ,and recycle ..it may be cost effective for them but it alienates collectors who want good a product .

What do you mean about when we were kids? There were very few reused parts in the early part of the line aside from the small, uninteresting side sets (night force excluded) and the original figures. That's what I liked best about GiJoe.

I just don't understand why so many of you continue to consume a product that makes you so angry. actually, I take that back, it goes right along with the irrational mentality those same people exhibit in all of their posts.

>>>>>>>>> You're generalising people who don't share your opinion ,i only buy the older toys which i have no complaints with or am i "angry" with anything ,i only make constructive criticism on the newer product because i feel it is subpar compared to the older stuff there is nothing irrational about that ? |

Someone always brings up the Original Thirteen in these threads, but c'mon - it was never as bad as it is these days.
I don't mind all the Destros, CCs, SEs etc repaints so that the kids and more casual collectors can easily get the main characters - it's more the unique characters that get poorly chosen reused parts that I'm disappointed in. Still, sometimes we get better ones down the road so as long as the line continues, it's all good.
