So many of the characters look alike these days...Alley Viper, Beach-Head and Firefly...until they gave Firefly some crazy mask.
Yeah, they dumped the actor likenesses. Aryan hunk Duke is back, no more goateed emo Duke.
Cobra Commander will not be a mail-in but a chase figure. That means if I find one I can sell it for more than I paid! Thanks for making everyday euthsiasts into scalpers, Hasbro!
I might pick up that AWE if it's $15. The Sky Hawk is fugly, I might have gotten a straight recolor of the 25th one I missed. The polar attack track and doom cycle don't do much for me. If only they worked in the Stinger.
The larger vehicles look okay, but the HISS driver looks like a mess of thrown together parts and gear, though.
The Mechs hold little appeal to me.

The figures back in 2001 look good, very modern, possibly like they're from the year 2010. Hmmm, there's a link there, Dr. Dorman, but I don't see it. Would you like me to sing a song? Daisy...Daisy....

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

There isn't anything there to tempt me other than the Vamp 4x4 vehicle. The Sky Hawk repaint is a joke, the hew Hiss is a piece of sci fi fluff, and the AWE Striker/Snow Cat/Rage repaints are lazy. The Mechs? I don't think so...

Not GI JOE, but Iron Man has a ROCC-like mobile base.
IRON VAN
At first I thought it reused parts, but it seems to be all new.

Both the POC and resolute 7 pack figs look terrific
i do think the heads on the resolute Scarlett and Baroness looks odd but there still time for Hasbro to fix them
