What is up with all of the variants to Snake-Eyes and Destro? They should retitle the line to be Snake-Eyes and His Amazing Friends vs The Legions of Destro's Cobra. My god, can they do any more versions of those characters? What happened to the billions of other characters like Cover Girl, Scarlett, Cobra Commander, Mindbender, etc?

well they're trying to get the brand back to being a major toy line. so I'm sure upper hasbro believed the key to that was iconic familiarity. i think with POC in particular, they already had so much done for a January 2010 release and it was pretty much just a continuation of ROC to whatever extent so they had all these molds etc they couldn't just chuck out the window... but I think the wave 3 and 4 Duke's and Destro's and SE's are meant to be the ultimate versions of the figures and really we might not have gotten such an amazing SE if not for all the SE's we've gotten up to this point. I dunno.

Unfortunately they have to establish waves with "anchor" figures like SE and Duke, but once the cartoon gets rolling, perhaps they'll introduce new or forgotten characters and we'll see them produced in the line.

Dudes!
Imagination is the answer! Just make the resculpts different characters for your Joe-Verse! That works very well for me! Jungle Duke is Muskrat. Desert Zartan is Raptor. Firefly can be all sorts of things. Et cetera! Sing with me!

well it seems Hasbro is aware that you're tired of it, Lody. in fact I believe the answer in the Q+A specifically mentioned you by name.

i honestly think they've probably considered it. I mean they obviously realized that Arctic SE couldn't fight Desert SS and so instead we got Desert SE. The question is... with the wave 3 SE having real fabric bits... would a complimentary-to-wave-3-SE SS have an all fabric tunic-esque look or maybe a fabric mask/wrap...
