Let me see something. Can you guys imagine Joes going one with only releases of the original '82 figs? No fight intended here lehsreh, just random thoughts. Low Light, was a new character back in '86. Can you imagine folks ranting about him?

The new characters are the NEW blood on the line. I can agree with you that wave after wave of NEW characters would kill the Joes. But what kept the line running was childrens getting new characters here and there. But some old, need a re-release to be made better. Look Duke v1 and Duke v8.

About Blackout Yay. Sniper wearing black with a cool new rifle and googles, can't go wrong. Somethings could have been diferent, see silver highlights on him and the goofy face. But when he is on the field, googles and rifles with him, man. Bad Guy!

The family thing I'm not sure. It's a little lame to me. But kids could like it. And there would be many storylines coming up in childs mind.
