I guess to be considered anime, some people think you have to have big heads, tiny waits, and gigantic eyes.

-This con has been a let down for me so far. I like vehicles. Plan and simple, and so far all the new ones unveiled suck. I'm underwhelmed and all that transforming crap is not joe to me.

most amine has lifelike proportions but like American artist each have there own style and it's up to what the public likes

now admittedly the eyes are drawn larger but that because, like the saying goes, the eyes are a window to the soul, and the larger eye is a way to expressed a large array of emotions in a character so the audience gets it.

you see it used a lot in Disney animation ever since Beauty and the Beast. in some case certain character in Gi joe like Jaye Jaye

I was happy to see the Frag viper and H.E.A.T viper though I hear they might be customs

How can you not look at that tactical gear on the Artic Duke, Recondo, Ripcord, and the Jungle Viper( I do believe that might be a portable hunters blind thats going around him)and not get excited!!!. The amount of Detail in clothing, skin,and faces!!!!

O ring joes are my childhood favorite but this new new is a far more superior.
The customizing/new charcter creating options are limitless. With lil to no paint apps.

If the stuff shown had any of that, I could see why some might say it was influenced with an anime style. I really do not see what's so anime like though.

Is it the mech? Cause those aren't really anything new to GI Joe, for the most part. There weren't that many shown at the con either. :confused:

It's mainly the gear and machinery that has the anime influences

Agreed there has been some "futuristic" stuff in the past, but it was at least conceivable. When they get to transforming motor cycles and Night Vipers with bat wings they've lost me forever. It's starting to remind me of 1993/94 all over again. Jay, if you like the new stuff I'm happy for you, but it just isn't for me.

That's actually a high-tech, movable, holographic ghillie suit, not actual flight wings.

Someone who attended the con said the toy's designer described it as such:

OMG, that's just as bad, if not worse... :eek:

Yeah, because active camoflage is so far-fetched.

We're more likely to get such things before we ever get laser weaponry.

yep lot of what where seeing in the movie and the toys are future tech and in development

If this stuff is 1993/94 all over again then they're doing right this time.
