The question that should be asked is "Why did you make Spc. Altitude in the AOCI 7 pack, couldn't you have just made Ripcord and used the proper Marlon Wayans head? Is classic black Ripcord something that would have negatively effected sales?"

Dial Tone becoming a woman wasn't a Hasbro decision, the dude writing the comic came up with a female tech character as a new character Hasbro said "No new characters, take a name off this list" the writer chose Dial Tone, and no one cared because Dial Tone sucks

G.I. Joe is a fictional toyline with a target demographic of 7 year old boys, proper military protocol doesn't even factor. I know your a big fan of martial arts figures, I don't remember the US army ever having a unit of ninjas, maybe ask Hasbro that!
