Now that I'm seeing more of them I don't even think they are cool anymore. Scarlett cannot sit down... If she can't... Who else can't sit? The Cobra symbol on CC's shirt is way too small... I don't think the proportions are any better than what they were on the VvV line... I could go on...

I've said on other threads on this site how I feel Hasbro have shafted the collector with this 25th anniv line, so I won't go into that either...

I'm pretty down about the whole thing.

I'm with you Dave. The more I see of them, the less I like them, and these photos only confirm my feelings. I don't think they will sell well at all amongst traditional Joe collectors such as ourselves. I know it's a celebration of GI Joe's 25 years, but the fact that it's the same old characters is also a bummer. How many Snake Eyes/ CC's/ Storm Shadows, etc, do we need? I'll be saving my money.
