Agreed, Agreed, Agreed, Agreed, and Agreed.

But that's typical of being a GIJoe collector, it's been like this since 1982. They release "new" figures with old molds new paints.

Python Patrol - I collect Python Patrol because it make sense. Cobra picking a viper/BAT/CG etc., from each unit to form a specialized stealth strike group with radar absorbent paint for a special mission. That's cool!

Tiger Force - not so much. GIJoe is already a specialized strike force with specialized members, just throwing "tiger stripes" on their uniforms does absolutely nothing. The only ones I collected were new characters, like Skystriker (although it's kind of dumb to name a guy with the same name as an already well established vehicle.)

Slaughter's Marauder - the blue, brown, green paint scheme supposedly "enables them to successfully blend into a woodland or jungle environment"? Not really, not with the blue. They just stick out looking ugly no matter where they are. However, I did collect the vehicles, which are repurposed vehicle bodies with new turrets. The Equalizer remain one of favorite, looking a lot like a Flakpanzer Gepard.



Sky Patrol - Opposite of the Marauders, I only collected the figures, while chrome vehicles look cool, but they make no sense for a military unit.

Night Force - if they didn't go all out into neon color in later years, they wouldn't need night force. Ha ha.
