No Female Figs!

Has anyone noticed no females in the next POC? Nothing in the convention about any female Joe or Cobra. At least I didn't see any other than Resolute, but that's Resolute, not POC.

Yeah, there was a question asked about producing Zarana and the answer was, 'She didn't make the final cut'..... :confused: :rolleyes:

Good call I hadn't noticed cause I was just glancing at them. Then I started thinking, are there any African American figures either.

A quick glance over the list says no, the only minorities I am seeing is Qucik Kick, Spirit, Alpine (whom I believe has been seetled as being samoan), Storm Shadow (And with so many of him every time he almost doesn't really count), and maybe Shadow Tracker (he is masked but I read something he was from the same tribe as Spirt).

Wow a stable of Joedome and practically non-existant.

I was rather happy with a lot of the stuff they showed, I adore the mech, the new SWAT-like Cobra trooper guy was great, and Spirit will also be fun for photographing.

WHAT?!?

That doesn't make sense on numerous levels, the easiest to decipher being the fact that Alpine was the 1985 New Black Character (one a year until 87) and the fact his name isn't polynesian at all.

LOL! I thought he was French, with that little moustache :p

I assumed Alpine was a Sephardic Jew who anglicized his name from Pinheiro. And Bazooka was Polish-Americna Ashkenazi Jew, hence the amusing repartee between them.
