Exactly why I quit actively collecting the 25th. What version of Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke and Cobra Commander are we on? But it was almost as bad with the Nu Sculpt stuff!

on the back of this, they should release a cartoon & new comic, preferably both.

Exactly! Like the old days, flood Saturday Morning Cartoons with GI Joe Commercials all day!

The answer then.. why wont hasbro suck it up? Because that would hit them hard in their fatcat wallets.. I honestly am now beginning to wonder whether hasbro ever did have any ''meaning'' and ''loyal intent'' towards the fans of this line.


I can TOTALLY see this happening! Wha...do you work for them or something? Hmmmmmm.....
Can you say "Hulk" figures?
