I'd like to see the GI Joe team do what the Marvel Legends team does: mail the prototype figure to an established youtuber for him to do some detailed video look at the figure and comment on articulation, etc. I'm really itching for a much closer look at them as well as seeing what else is in the pipeline.

I actually don't want any reissues. I want new ORing figures. With modern sculpting or even something that looks modern that would fit in with the older releases.

I'm guessing Hasbro will be too stingy to release original head & better sculpted head in the same pack.
The V1 Cobra Commander head is just too dopey, as is V1 Storm Shadow. Aside from a very few, I will not buy a reissue of something that looks like crap. |

Well, to swap heads you'd have to unscrew the torso, which I'm sure would break child safety laws if that was an intent. It's not like ME, where you can just pop an old on off and snap a new one on. Unless you mean two figures of the same character, which might be good for an occasional deluxe pack. "vintage" vs "new head, same mold, but the best paint and presentations we can do"

I think the way to solve the head problem (for popular characters) is to first release a faithful repro, and then a couple years down the road when it’s time for that popular character to reappear —as we all know is inevitable— then freshen it up with a new head that looks more like Sunbow or the Hector Garrido art.

I would add, though, that I feel the OG 13 characters who shared heads should get the upgraded, unreleased heads from the get-go though. Zap, Short Fuze, etc?
.?those are original heads that unfortunately did not make it into production, so adding them is more like correcting a mistake than adding a modern upgrade?. |

You'd have the re-issues line (now), fulfilling the pure nostalgia route, and then a successor line to follow it up.

I’d like to see something weird like the recent shaman Zartan in vintage style.
Come to think of it, other POC stuff too. Come to think of it, I should just bust out POC and play with it.
