Likely due to trademark issues.

But Spirit is totally Billy from Predator.

Freakin awesome! Can't wait to add on to my dreadnok team. I've heard these are bbts only, it'd be great if they were sold at retail.

Is that Bull from TV's Nightcourt? He looks funny with a beard.
I wonder if Gnaw with come with his warthog/boar like the vintage Gnawgahyde.
Instead of being happy to see Zanya, I am reminded of how pissed I am about exclusive Zarana.

Spirit screams for my money once more. Otherwise I like that Hasbro decided to do something different as in putting out Dreadnoks. Hope you guys who want them will be able to score at least a set tomorrow from BBTS.

Marvel custom ideas:

Burnout could be used for a tony stark flight suit figure.
GNAW could easily make a Kraven figure.
Zander could make a Chuck Norris figure.
Red Dog could make a Luke Cage figure.
Spirt could make a sweet Rambo or Charlie Sheen figure from Platoon.
Falcon reminds of me jJohn-Claude-Vandame from the streetfighter movie,lol.

Hmm.

Looks like Hasbro and I are not on the same Wave Length - I can bare Transformers Repaints to some degree but for Gi Joe i'm looking for either new Characters or old characters in new Outfits and therefore only 1/3rd of those have any appeal to me. in general they look very like what was released for the 25th Anniversary.

As I like to play with my toys and not just have them sitting on a shelf I'm looking at the play pattern they offer.

So If I say am playing Jungle or Desert or Arctic theme then I'd be super happy to have say Duke in a Parka or Desert Snake eyes etc... so key characters are not limited to missions that only have a baring on how they are dressed (Remember Gung Ho dressed in Dress uniform for example) - I also rather like the duty Uniforms they had in the Movie so that idea opens up the possibility of characters like Barbecue, Air Tight, or Wetsuit getting a toy where they don't have to be dressed as actually in action. but can be dressed as On base instead... If the Gi Joe HQ is on base and a Arctic specialist was on rotation he'd hardly be walking about in Arctic gear in the desert. so for example that Urban Snake Eyes they made with the Urban Camo over-Trousers I thought was really cool.

But a figure they've already made in the same colour again just this time it's a bit skinny looking and has ankle rolls and an ab crunch and some movable wrists.. I don't really see the need at a must buy level for me - they instead fit into Oh I'd buy that if I tripped over it.

I'd just be getting the same again (great for new fans mind) but not so great if it's a 7 pack and there's only 2 figures in the box with real appeal.


I'd like to see more like they did before when the mission specialists were all dressed for a given environ like Arctic or Desert I totally see the worth in making characters like a Tele-Viper or SAW Viper dressed for such situations. or taking a B.A.T. and making them blend in more or making them specialised (like Doctor X's X-Robots were in Action Man).


I think making things that only appeal to people who have to have the best joints or are looking for a new version of a character they can get from the 80's is a tricky proposition if that's 'all' they do.

Besides what's the point of using an O-ring crotch with an ankle roll they are not likely to stay standing up with that combination.

It's an interesting thought though what would Gi Joe be like if it's aimed at Kids what would it be like if it's aimed at adult collectors and how different is my stated tastes from either category ?

I might say something controversial and say that the eventual Toyline for the Movie sequel might be something I might enjoy more perhaps ?

Would have been better if they gave us Big Lob & Jinx to round out the movie theme and leave Low-light and BBQ for something else.

Whats with Mercers arms and gear? It's looks like shit to me. Knawgahyde's arms look too skinny. Complete kitbash crap. There are so many better configurations they could have used but instead they only used a couple of molds and put gear over it. Boo Hasblow!
