thats the truth. well for the most part. if you have the G.I. Joe seasons on dvd you can watch the extras. the thing the writers said they liked the most was the fact that hasbro never said " were coming out with this figure, so you have to do a 30 min show on him/her". i think they were smart enough to know that no matter who they had on the cartoon, it would only help sell figures, if you went to pick up shipwreck and you saw someone cooler, you would buy them too. and god knows i agree with you on snake eyes outrider. im sure everyone has saw me write a 100 times of how he was my fave character at first and now i think im at the edge of being anti-snake eyes. as far as the new characters go, i dont think i said it right when i said i didnt like them. i mean that is what i said, but what i mean is that i want new characters more like shipwreck, lowlight, bazooka, outback, or letherneck. i guess what im looking for in new joes are some gritty types. give them some facial hair and make them mean and dirty. the pretty boys like barrel row are great for customs but id like to see some new joes who look battle worn.
