I thought Gi joe was meant to be in the future. Especially with laser rifles and guys like Flash. I'm all for it only if some thought is put in it. Guys running around in Orange like alley Vipers are great targets for Joes. Characters like Wraith are better written and make more sense. Pyhon Patrol well, that's tour call. Some vehicles are hits. like the Hiss or stinger some are a miss. Gi Joe places you as the ultimate critic.As for Alpine's goggle's, maybe they are lase fire nick proof. As for Bazooka guarding serpentor with a rocket launcher. Call DOD!! That's a way to get a man killed. YIKES!!!!

I like to have a bit of realism in my shots, but there are sooo many cool characters who may not fit the mold for real military. Though you won't see neon in my shots. I don't really think that fits. That being said, I do try to put my guys in environments where they belong, ie you will never see me use my Winter troops in a summer shot (Except one series where I had the troops drop off a wounded Frostbite, exception to the rule) I have Shipwreck and Cutter, who I haven't used yet simply because I want to use them in a Naval environment, although I could use my version of Shipwreck for other stuff.
