LOL!

You'd think Variety, a decent entertainment news source could get things right. I think I agree with others. Until we see hard evidence, the whole movie could still fall through.

Alpine not Ripcord
 

Maybe he'll play Alpine instead of Ripcord. Alpine was a kind of comic relief character anyway. I don't remember Ripcord doing much except dating that cobra chick.

mmm, yeah. i could see that happening.

joe movie. wayans is going to play ripcord.
 

wasnt sure about this rumor. didnt believe it because i didnt want to, but in the end i knew they would do something like this to keep me away from the movie. here is a link to the interview if you want to read it for yourself, but it is true that wayans will be playing ripcord. why will he be ripcord? because they need someone stupid to be dukes friend and get him into trouble, thats what i thought the stupid rex character was for. someone needs to tell these guys to read around, we do not want wayans to have anything to do with ripcord, we want roadblock and not heavy duty.

Ok.
 

Thanks for the post on this, jeez.. this guy doesn't clearly know what GI JOE is.. or who the people are..
infact picking wayans as ripcord would be like picking.. I dunno.. Verne Troyer as Road Pig :confused: :o

It's not just that but seriously.. Duke and Ripcord "chill" together.. this movie is going to be a total a$$.

Of all the things they could do this would be one of the worst, oh and the verne troyer as road pig thing could happen if this director is in charge..

damn it will be a comedy , duke and ripcord , maybe alpine and bazooka what the ·"$!"!, wayans can play stalker or rb , heavy duty but ripcord mmm , damn u hasbro now u are going to kill the joes mythos...... :confused:

I'm saving judgement for opening day. I was very much against Transformers that didn't look like the toys but in the end it worked. I doubt this will but I'll still hold my judgement.

Deth Of Teh Line!!!!

'Kay, I just checked..........ummmm............my Ripcord is red haired and W-H-I-T-E.......in case anybody was wonderin'............. :confused:

Ditto. I just lost what little hope I had for this movie.

Ok, I probably am the LAST person who should be saying this, but let's wait and see. RipCord is one of those Characters that could be black or white. Other than that thing with Candy (the Balloon Bear) getting him into trouble, and switching places with Zartan for a while, they never did develop his Character too much in the Comics. If they don't let Wayans play him like one of his characters in his Comedies but let him kinda be the joker in the bunch, it might not turn out too bad! Not too serious, but not too much comic Relief.....it could work!

Would anyone be upset if they got, oh, say, Edward Norton to play Doc? Ok, he's not Black, but I could totally see him bringing the character to life. Some of the Characters ethnicities need to stay intact (Like RoadBlock, Gung Ho, Zap(maybe), Tunnel Rat, StormShadow) but others could use a little "flair" like Grunt, Breaker, Recondo or repeater. I could totally see an Austrailian or Brazilian Recondo, a Filipino Shipwreck, Flash with a bad Italian/ Brooklyn Accent. After all we have an Arabic (?) Breaker.....let's wait and see what Wayans can do with the Character.....if he acts goofy and stupid like he's in "Don't be a Menace...", then yeah, I'll save my $8.00 and wait for it on DVD!

yeah until a trailer is released i'm not gonna fret over what is said or done, odds are most fans won't like the movie just because it's not a true translation of the comics or cartoon, i'll give it a shot worst thing that happens is that it sucks and i'll never buy the dvd and pretend the movie ever happened

Ed Norton would actually make a really good Lifeline...

It could be worse. RuPaul could have been cast as Lady Jaye...

Oh I wasn't bashing anything...........I was just stating that MY Ripcord is red-haired and W-H-I-T-E.............that's all...........


I've been saying since the begining.............WAIT FOR IT!!!

25th wave 7 pics
 

like in the other thread. here are pics of wave 7. cant wait to get a viper

http://gijoeclub.com/2008wave3.cfm

wow thanks for posting those pics!! gotta say i'm really liking all the figures in this wave especially that Spirit :D can't wait for em

Spirit and the Cobras look amazing!!! I cannot wait for spring! These are gonna rock!

TNIs got an update on Mjr. Bludd.

http://toynewsi.com/index.php?itemid=12352

I guess I'll have to stick it out yet another wave. But at least we're getting Copperhead! :D

Man, as much as I want Bludd, I'm worried too. The DTC was awesome. But if they go off a crap drawing like that with THOSE colors, we'll end up with a red and blue Major Bludd. :mad:

I think the drawing was supplied by TNI, it's a pretty popular Bludd image. I'm sure he'll be brown and black w/ silver highlights. Hasbro hasn't screwed up on color schemes yet, even the comic packs are accurate to art they're based off.

Big L, you never got the DTC Major BLudd??? That's one of THE Best figures Hasbro put out since 2002!

Just received this from Big Bad concerning wave 6:

"Hi - Hasbro has slightly changed the contents of the Wave 6 case you have on order with us. The changes are as follows:

Armored Cobra Commander =Reduced from 2 pieces to 1 piece.
Red Ninja = Removed
In place of these two figures, they have added one each of the Cobra Air Trooper, and Crimson Guard. This assortment actually looks better than the original, but we just wanted to let you know about the change. "

Now the case pack consists of:

Rock & Roll
Cobra Commander (Fred VII)
Torpedo (yay!!!!)
Serpentor (ugh!)
Snake Eyes black
Crimson Guard
Air Trooper
Beachhead

I was almost looking forward to getting two Commanders, but gotta say I'd rather have Troop Builders. At least it shows Hasbro is re-thinking their case assortments now. :)

Alo there is at least one other wve 6 case assortment with a Trooper instead of Serpentor I think. IDK, it's Big Bad's site.

BigL, if you ever happen upon SicDunbine's GI Joe Army Store on Ebay, he has some great deals. ;)

a supposed image of the wave 8 Major Bludd... i don't like his face sculpt, he looks constipated

well this is just a prototype so i think he'll look a little less like Zartan

Not feeling this one at all. It would've looked better with Flash parts that these.

Hello! Please could someone explain me what's the deal with Bludd's right arm? Is it bionic?

i think it's just armor

The best theory I ever read is that it's armor to protect him from potential recoil and/or explosion if that rocket pistol of his ever malfunctions.

I love this figure, by the way.

I thought it was shielding against the rocket exhaust from his pistol?

I thought it was a fake arm. Like, it was robotic or something (or ultra burned like ANakin SkyWalKer). Didn't DD in the comic say that Bludd lost his right hand and when General Rey was duking it out with Bludd, didn't Bludd get all bugged about 'losing his other hand?"???

oh... an armor... it make sense. I always thinked about it as bionic like Steve Austin.

You ALMOST make me spit out my kakipi. Not so much cuz Steve Austin as the Millionair Dollar Man, I meant as STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!

:D :D :D

Stone Cold... that's another cool character. Yeah I was referring to the Six million dollar man. When I was a kid, there wasn't Stone Cold. :D

Sonneilon... who is the clown?
