I just finished listening to that. I'm really excited about this line, I can't wait to see the final products. It's great to know it's still in the works.

I want to get excited but then I dont want to get let down. Plus its only going to online retailers :(

-One reason they are going vintage o-ring style is due to copyrights on newer style figure designs.

-Figures with vehicles, 2 with the playset.

-Footpegs are planned, but they haven't settled on a size.

-Comic books are in the works...possibly Devil's Due

-Good chances for Canadian distribution.

-Past the sculpting stage for wave 1 figures, and into tooling/mold making for figures and most of vehicles.

-Mostly new characters in next few waves

-The "Rook" character had to be renamed due to Hasbro already having trademarked it for a GI JOE character.

-They said "all the haters can eat it"...okay, I made that up. :p

Basically they're old GI Joe fans starting up a new action figure line with the same classic O-ring and rivet construction. Same scale and vehicles will be compatible with old and new Joe figures. The good guys are SK Omega (Silent Knights) and the bad guys are Virus. They only planning to be sold online so far.

i was hoping there construction be a combination with o-ring torso, arms, legs, and heads like the 25th/modern fig

I'm glad that they said they would keep it 100% old school. It'll be filling a nice niche in the market.

I will wait to see them in close to final product, but I figure at the least is the line should have some cool vehicles just from the talk (and that is something Joe has been VERY weak on for the past few years).
