What can we say? The Night Attack Chopper had a good design...

They just copy our best chopper after the Tomahawk.

Yes, the Mobile Infantry is the GI Joe of the future.

...and the people that made the costumes for "Starsip Troopers"'movie made the costumes for "G.I.JOE: Rise of Cobra" too.

There's definitely a connection. Anyone know the dates of the artwork? Then we'd know who's copying who.

Starship Troopers is my all time favorite book. On the other hand, the movie was the worst adaptation ever made.

I do not think Hasbro copied 2 books' covers.
