A reuse of the 25th mold (Straight hands and original helmet) in any of the colours they've used on Vipers in the past wouldn't be bad either. Green and Grey anyone? __________________

I might pick up a Jungle Bat just to have one, but like someone said... REPAINT!! As for Hasbro's failings, I think it's obvious and it will never change. They stock each wave with a case that has 4 Dukes, 4 Cobra Commanders, 4 Snake eyes, 4 Destros and 4 storm shadows and every 3rd box includes one Army builder such as Alley Viper or Shock Trooper. And then they want to whine about how sales suck,because no one wanted to buy the 10,000 ROC destros still on the shelf from 2009! Add to that, they take all the REALLY cool stuff and Target cancels it and we have to try to get one of the two that Ross gets in (Jungle Terror, Desert Cycle, flight pod and Sand Serpent) before it's all scooped up, or buy it on Ebay or from Canada (Desert Rockslide, Polar Sharc, Lava Pod)! While they flood the stores with over priced CRAP! (RIP ATTACK Vehicles! and $16 arctic Rockslides!) to summarize, if HASBRO REALLY wanted to make GI Joe a Cash Cow, they would flood the market with cool toys and Army builders and cancel the crap they keep trying to shove down out throat!

Maybe they are trying to get the line canceled?

And the list of new figures looks really promising. Snake Eyes & Cobra Commander: We really don't need any more of these characters. (But at least we're not getting another Duke.) Although I am curious to see Cobra Commander get the POC treatment. Blowtorch & Hawk: Two characters I really like but there hasn't been a really good modern Hawk and Blowtorch yet, so I'm looking forward to these. BAT: The 25A mold isn't very good, repainting it isn't going to help. Croc Master: He hasn't had a good figure yet. Maybe we'll finally get one. Crazy Legs: "New" character! Wooo! Cobra Trooper, Steel Brigade, Viper, Rock-Viper & Iron Grenadier: I can't wait to see these guys get the POC treatment. These could be army builder gold. __________________ My JoeDios photos \| Flickr
