See, this is what I worry about. NOt so much if they are lawyers and politicians, but guys who are really narrow-minded about GI Joe. These guys are creating the JOeverse as they see fit. You get one head guy who is into the cartoon. You get another head guy who loves 12". You get another guy who came from Care Bears or whatever, y'know?
And just how hardcore are these guys? WHen did they come into the toy as a kid? If you've read old Josh Blaylock interviews, he said at one time that he favoried Lifeline over Doc simply because when he came into Joe, Lifeline was more prominent. And iirc, Blaylock and most of the crew were cartoon fans, not comic fans. So they had to 'reference' the Marvel series for things.
So when you get to the guys working at GI Joe Hasbro, I question just who their favorites are. It's entirely possible they are huge Duke and Snake Eyes fans, ya dig? Hell, you gotta wonder if the guys working there during the theme years weren't CORE fans. We can try and blame the Big 3 for half the figures made, but man...
Anyway...
Great idea!
