They say most detailed as well as most articulated, so hopefully they won't look TOO different from existing 3.75" figures and won't have joints throwing their proportions off... I'm imagining something along the line of Marvel Legends Showdown...

Maybe they'll show the same artiulation as Marvel Showdown. That would really ROCK!!!

I'm not sure how I feel. I really hoped for a more modern RAH sculpt style. Like the Comic Packs. Some of the head sculpts were fantastic and left me wishing we revamp the torso's and arms etc. too. I don't really want to see crazy levels of articulation. As for the Marvel thing, I look at those figures and I just can't take to them...

Let's hope Hasbro hasn't gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofed!

If its like Sigma 6 , I won't. This is great news for 3.75 collectors. I can't wait to see them. Thanks for giving us the heads up!!1

It's hard to work up enthusiasm, because even if a picture of one of these looks excellent, it's all about the final product, something Hasbro mucks up IMHO with spotty quality control.

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	It's believed that H is taking the most popular chars from 82-86 to redux. Check out the JBL for people's ideas. Let me rephrase that. We KNOW they are taking chars from 82-86. However, the JBL figures H is taking the popular chars. I expect to see the usual core; SE, Scar, Duke, CC, Destro, & Baroness. Just to note, don't expect to see Star Wars parts get mixed into GI Joe. It's believed (again, that word) that GL keeps the SW parts for SW-only toys. Even though it's a Hasbro product, Hasbro can't use any of the parts. Stay tuned to the Joe and toy sites because ToyFair is next month. We should be able to get first looks (well, ok, 2nd looks) of what's to come in the summer. SUMMER! That's sooner than I would have thought!

EXACTLY!!!

And if the stuff is 3.75" Sigma Six, I'm gonna end up eating crow and buying it. And Graham will NEVER let me live it down! LOL!

Seriously though, after the comic packs, and going back and hunting down the Stars and Stripes set, I don't want anymore of the orginal 13 Joes. I'd like to see more of the 1986 series! Mabe a decent version of Shockwave and Hit and Run. Or even better (although I'm probably gonna get flamed for this.....) NEW DD Sculpts. Wraith, Mayday, Firewall, General Rey, Serpentor, Overlord, Mistress Armada, Alexander McCullen, Dr. Knox, and of course, the Red Shadows! Even, dare I say it, a new MAINFRAME sculpt?

Or how about some Characters that didn't make it to figures from the original series? Like Hard Master and Soft Master, Billy, Candy, Capt Mihn, Dr. Venom, ScarFace (ok, he it be argued he was in the cobra infantry six pack!) and Recondo's Indian Friend.

Just my $.02
