I like the idea of doing a tribute to another toyline that Hasbro has the rights to like this, as I thought it was cool of them to do Action Man (regardless of whether he was suitable for the Night Force set or not, just the fact they did him in 3.75" was fun in my book).

I don't really think being a fan of the GI Joe cartoon has got anything to do with opinions over a Matt Trakker figure, it's not like he was on the show, and it's not like the comics didn't have far-fetched/sci-fi stuff (brainwave scanner, Serpentor, super-ninja, Transformers...). I see this as a shout out to a toyline that many of the people drawn to the current nostalgia-fuelled 25th line will also have a sense of nostalgia towards.
