That stuff sounds like crap. Typical. I've been meaning to make section for "places we love to hate", you know, like yojoe.com, hisstank, places like that  On a side note I added a laughing smiley for lolz, just type a colon and capital D.  |

Darklon doesn't look half bad, actually
I never understood the popularity of the Oct. Guard. Talk about digging up a by gone era...

I was happy they made the comic pack versions even if their heads were too small, their skin tones terrible and accessories rehashed junk.
Paradrop figure is the Cobra trooper from Retaliation in all black. Yawn.

Hasbro's Concept Figures DisplayA big "tough shit, nerds, if you wanted this stuff" . Really, as if showing the Coyote truck from Renegades isn't gonna piss off people? Oddly no Renegades Roadblock? No even a mock-up?  The zombie line had to be a joke/Hasbro customs...no way they'd have seriously considered that. The ninja lines, I believe that. Some armored thingy...it deploys a motorcycle like that Captain America armored car...meh...they always muck-up potentially good APC's somehow.

I like the new Quinn, but that's it. I don't really like zombies in G.I. JOE. The one zombie viper they did was cool, but don't go overboard. All these toys, I really could care less. I'd like to see the original cut the director of the new G.I. JOE movie that he wanted to produce. Hasbro has pulled a Lucas.

Hasn't it been two years of not making that Kwinn, that they swore they'd get out to fans?

Man that cancelled/concept stuff looks good. Instead, we have to make due with a lame movie line that is delayed a year because test crowds want more Channing Tatum. ho hum ho hum.

Hiss Tanl Hasbro Panel Report/picturesNo new product until Feb. of 2013...no surprise there. Some micro force cartoony figurines...who the fuck wants that shit?Combat Heroes stuff, scaled down. I'd collect those HALO or Lego mini-figs if I wanted small figures, at least those look fun. Strangely Micro Force includes some of those ninjas that never made it past mock-up stage. Movie accurate Cobra Trooper. I admit, the cobra flag is enough to almost make me get one on sale... (8 months from now). Ultimate Duke and Snake-Eyes, but no movie accurate Lady Jaye. Typical. Crimson Guard pushed back to Wave 5, aka the wave that no store will get. Cobra Night Landing...wow...bring back one of the most boring vehicles ever. Better looking than those cycles, though. I like this from Hisstank's Hasbro panel report Just like half the Vintage Star Wars figures they make. From a certain "General": What the fudge? He's gotta get permission? Or what? Hasbro will shut him down? Hisstank still has them. tinypic.com/r/feq437/6

Ultimate Snake Eyes looks good. Almost as good as version 164, but not quite as good as 138.

They put name tags out for the figures that won't get made.
Raven's Wing, Police Unit 4 and Echo Faction Trooper...apparently more generic Joes. I don't have a problem with that concept, except that fan favorites wind up being expensive exclusives while this stuff was planned for mass retail?
Ghost Ninja, Beast Ninja, Dark Ninja Master, Red Ninja Dice, gold bond medicated ninja...terrible names...where's Hama when you need him?
Mutant Zombie, Echo Faction Zombie, Steel Brigade Zombie (Davey Lane must be so proud)...
