I've not really given my thoughts on this line. When the rumors started I was interested, but I tried not to get my hopes up. Once they were revealed I was disappointed. I was hoping for the designs to be more vintage inspired rather than the modernized almost video game like look they have . Plus I would have preferred more real world weapons rather than the nerf guns and whatnot. I'm not against the new scale, but the designs and aesthetics they went with on most of them so far just don't do it for me. I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected these figures to be more accurate to their vintage counterparts.

Now I have been watching out for these to appear in stores, on the chance that seeing them in person might change my mind. These figures are almost impossible to find in my area. They must sell out fast. Walmart has only had an empty endcap, and now that's disappeared. I only ever spotted a Roadblock and a Snake Eyes once and they were just thrown on a shelf in the wrong part of the toy section. Target 95% of the time has just had an empty shelf. I saw a beachhead once, and part of wave two. Hardly saw scraps of wave one. It's a joke. I see full pegs of Hasbro's Ghostbusters line on the pegs at both stores every week, but G.I.Joe is nowhere to be found. These must be super popular, very underproduced, or both.
