I can understand that. The ones that kill me are the guys who were collecting since 2002 or so and passed on every version of the figure they are now saying they DON'T have. I can understand wanting a V1 Flint if you had one as a kid, but come on! The Comic Pack was a closer imitation than these gangly legged dainty museum pieces! Why these people passed on comic pack figures, VvsV, Spytroops, JvC and the 2000 Collectors versions to wait for these pale replicas, I have no idea. If you like them, fine, but to me, these are like Sigma six....they're just not REAL GI Joes!
I'm interested in seeing a remake of the V1 BAT. Now that is one figure that this mold might do justice! I could see a BAT being 6+ feet tall and slender. But I hate the fact that these figures don't fit all the old vehicles! It's like Hasbro is saying to us, thanks for all your support all these years, but you and you heros are uncool...you have to buy our new stuff to be in the club! Well......F*%k Them! I'm not buying another thing until they get the ARAH molds back...or even NuSculpt!
