Thoughts on GI Joe: Resolute sets?
 

Everybody starting to get their Resolute sets? So what do you think of them?

I've got a quick review posted on my blog - Reasonably Intelligent Rambling.

I'll be updating RIR with additional posts over the coming days with a little more on my thoughts on the specific characters.

Stop by for a visit! :D

I think the link to the Joes pic is broken. I wanted to get a closer look. :)

I think I've got it fixed!

Resolute
 

I like them alot. They are different from what I saw in photographs earlier. They are cooler. However, I don't like the cartoon where Zartan and Storm Shadow get killed off. Killing major players like these two is just plain stupid.

Quite honestly, 2 years too late and packed with characters who are/were already available. It isn't a total failure on Hasbro's part (who can forsee an economic downturn as bad as it was), but the longer it was held back the more Resolute faded from sight and memory. Who was packed in is more Hasbro's fault. Really, characters release as singles or available in store exclusives? Failure.

I have to semi-agree. Getting yet ANOTHER CC, Roadblock and SE (among them) is really a bit of a waste. The Duke figure is cool (mainly because I like to take 'snow' pics), but I'd have rather had him in his normal uniform. The paint apps are alright, but not as good as they *should* be, especially since we had to wait so long for the sets.


But all in all, when I pre-ordered them BEFORE the Con, I was excited to get them...and I still am ;)

Are they supposed to be avilaible at retail stores?

LOVE the Alley Viper. Disappointed in Scarlett and Baroness for the same 2 reasons: color palette and giant heads.

I like this "knife on the shoulder" thing, since that's where I carry mine while hiking. As long as they're removable. I don't think Scarlett's is.

No, Scarlett's isn't....which is a headscratcher to me....but then again, I'm getting used to Scarlett being shuffled to the misfit figure bin by Hasbro-its been going on for nearly 30 years, why change things now?? :rolleyes:

I don't like reimaginings and I don't approve of the cartoon with profanity and killings. That said, I dig these sets, the joe one really. They have some close similarities to the ddp designs.
