It never ceases to amaze me how much hate these figures inspire in some people.
For those of us who have CHILDREN under the age of 5 who would otherwise SWALLOW the rifles and backpacks that come with regular joes, the Combat Heroes are FANTASTIC. I never hear anyone complain about the Imaginext Batman figures - Why are the Combat Heroes such a target? Is it just because they share shelf space with the regular Joes. Help me out here folks - I Just don't get it.

This thread might get the opposite result. I love them. My two year old twins think they are the greatest thing ever...between that and the Complete Guide to GI Joe 1982-1994, my son can name every Joe from 82-85 and we're working on 86 now.
My daughter plays with the Combat Heroes with her Little People house, barn, and castle...which works semi-well when she's playing with Destro and Baroness. I think any hate of a toyline by a bunch of 20 and 30 year olds is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen on a website. Would I like to see every single ARAH figure redone in the new articulation? Sure. Will I get pissed off at Hasbro and flame them on a website when they don't come out with something I don't like? No. I'll exercise my right to purchase what I like and what I don't. Sales numbers and profits are what drives a company and they'll come out with things they think will increase both of those. Bring on some vehicles and playsets like the Star Wars Galactic Heroes and I'll throw down my hard earned cash for them... |

What's the point really? kids don't want these abominations. They prefer their Wiis and PS3.

Not every kid plays video games (yeah, some actually have an imagination) and these are perfect for them. They're compact and no loose parts.

Heck, I love these things and have bought ever (RAH) pack that's been put out so far!
Also like the G1 Transformers, but I don't care for the SW or Marvel ones, or ROC/ROTF ones.
