thay said gijoe on the cover. your not confusing them with another series.,
as far as i know and can remember Screaming Eagles and Extreme are part of the line. thay just take place at diffrent times.

HOWEVER (WARNING; Caveat coming!!); I never liked DEF, Mega Marines, Dino Hunters or Eco Warriors either, but I found a place for them in my JoeVerse. If they made Extreme or Sigma Six in 3 3/4 inch versions, I MAY find myself buying them....If I don't like the Joes, I'll at LEAST buy the SKAR figures...my rule is..."You can NEVER have TOO MANY BAD GUYS!!!" I wish they would make more Headhunters and headhunter stormtroopers!

Screaming Eagles had that cartoon with Hawk, CC & Co. backing it up as being connected, plus Savage & his men were kinda bigger than everyone else in the cartoon (like the figures were taller), but Extreme never had anything to connect it. In fact, the Extreme comic series dealt with the creation of the GI Joe team and its past in a way that didn't allow for "our" Joes to exist. That's not to say that some of the character designs couldn't be cool in the 3.75" line, but IMO Extreme was GI Joe in name only and nothing else. __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.

I found the Extreme line Extreme-ly lousy

And Sigma Six... I can't fine a world to exatcly describe them (not that I think they are s***t), but I don't like them.

As for Eco Warriors, Mega Marines et al. I did buy them in the day, but now I can't find any use...

maxtype Veteran Offline --> Posts: 392 --> Join Date: Mar 2007	I liked the IDEA of the Screaming Eagles 'til I saw they were a half inch taller than ARAH! I was excited by Extreme until I saw that they were not very poseable....I did like the Extreme cartoon episodes I was able to see. Sigma Six I like because it's the ARAH characters in anime style,and they are quite poseable.....BUT-Hasbro won't do Scarlett or the Baroness! But,of course,I'm very happy over-all about the 25th Anniversary ARAH.I think it's a great re-launch......and I wouldn't mind seeing a few characters like Lt.Stone and Sgt. Savage come over to the ARAH line...... Actually,Sgt. Savage being "frozen" in 1945 and "Reborn" today reminds me of Captain America,and is no wilder an idea than Serpentor,whom I think is an AWESOME villain! And like Frank said "you can NEVER have too many bad guys!" Last edited by maxtype : 06-07-2007 at 12:55 PM. Reason: mis-quote
