Idea
So, to go with some more of the modern items from bbi, has anyone thought of using the less cartooninsh Joes like the new Flint as Irish Republican Army?

Wow - those sure are retro. Its the 1980s all over again! The figures look good and don't have any wierd proportions. Cool!
BTW, did anyone catch the GI Joe Public Service gag on the new episode of Family Guy last Sunday on Fox? It was either Flint or Maj. Falcon and for those of us 25-35 somethings, pretty random and funny!

I was at Target the other day and was driven to buy the pack with Scrap Iron, Serpentor, and the force that truly drove me to plunk down $10 on it was Firefly...
Just seeing him there, decked out in his original outfit with original accessories, I remembered the day I got Firefly, opened him up in the car, and lost his backpack's lid.
He is still one of my favorite figures... Favorite Joes of all time. He even had to be a goodguy many times because I just loved the figure so much as a kid. It was nice seeing that he still had the remote, the pack w/lid, and the wicked machine gun. Firefly is still Cobra's elite in my book!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Somewhere out there is an '86 Plymouth Caravelle Wagon with a TON of G.I. Joe weapons in the seats.

Now Hasbro, make us some Head Sculpt & Endor Uniform variations! The new Rebel Fleet Trooper gets the JJ Seal of Approval Though!

My dad had the big domestic wagon and I lost my share of stuff to impatience too
...and I still know there is a spot on Atlantic Beach with two original RAH Joes buried in the sand....

Never got back into the line after I sold my whole collection off a few years back...well , almost my whole collection.. I could never stand to part with my Skystriker or USS FLAGG. Aside from those 2 pieces, the rest is gone. I don't think the new ones are as cool as those first 8 figures we had in 1982.

The new figures are a mix of really great quality and some crap. It's not all bad though by any means. They madea Cobra Doctor that was pretty cool, and now those Cobra field medics reuse some of his parts. The new Snake Eyes looks sharp, and they did a great Stormshadow (not counting his mail-away fig). The last Scarlet was great too, a fantastic figure, and that new female figure of "Bombshell" was very well done.
I have "Clubin'" Destro and he's one of my favorite figures too... There's good stuff, it just gets cluttered up with the weird stuff like the Scorpion Viper guy, or whatever. Take the good with the bad I guess.

I really liked the female October guard soldier, especially once I fixed the head so the hat sat much lower, and not off to the side. The weapons have also improved lately - no so ghastly oversized that they look like hooey.
There's still the hope that one day we get more "realistic" looks, in line with the figures and vehicles from 82-83. Based on the new Humvee, I'd love to see some improved artillery pieces like the FLAK and mountain howitzer. We know no one else will be putting out an artillery.
