No spoilers here:

The nature of this movie is to "reboot" the toy line... therefore I shall resist it as an attack on my Joeverse, which has had over 25 years to evolve the way it has. I shall resist the brainwashing... ;-)

With that said, it is interesting how some of the new figures might grow on me... for instance, the new Cover Girl and Scarlett. For some reason Cover Girl is looking to me like some sort of computer specialist, not the "heavy weapons specialist" her packaging says she is. It's probably that she comes with a laptop. And Scarlett I have already replaced the head with the 25th one and she looks way better. Both are leaning towards becoming a subset of my Joe team... the cyber-warfare group.

So far with the other new Joes, they currently are morphing into my existing Joe team/verse. So far i like them there and don't think the movie will influence me to make them any different than how I see them today.

But the Cobra neo-viper.... they look like something from the past. Cobra early days. The one I have doesn't have the posability of the Resolute Troopers, and I certainly will not army build these beyond 10 (at the max). That amount should be enough for dio purposes. But at the moment they do not truly fit into my Joeverse, so we'll see if I even use them beyond pic purposes.
