It's great to know it's still in the works. __________________ My Flickr Page "It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today."

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.
