what do youse think of the G.I.Joe 25th Anniversary figas?
-
The first 10 where really good. I'll pick them up. But the next 5 are kinda half assed. I mean it's a wave of nothing but v2 of guys we got in the first 10 and Flint. And Flint uses Duke's mold. BAH! Lazy! I hope the next 5 are better then that.
-
I like all of them. I just wish they could use those Sigma 5 vehicle sets.
-
I just don't like getting V2s already. I mean the wave right after boxsets we get a Cobra Commander V2 (Made from the boxset V1), Cobra Officer(Repaint of boxset Cobra Trooper), Storm Shadow V2 (Made from Boxset V1 Storm Shadow), Snake Eyes V2 (Made from Boxset V1 Snake Eyes, and Flint (Made from boxset Duke.) Nothing really "new" there. Just too soon for that. They've already been talking about this line going into 2008 and you know they'll want another couple of the SE, SS, and CC then too and soon you are going to have Ninja Force SS and Ninja SE running around. Ugh.
I just wish they could use those Sigma 5 vehicle sets.
They said they might do vehicles for this line, but as of yet havn't said what they'd be. Have to wait and see.

[doHTML]I thought this was gonna be about the supposed movie with Mark Walberg as Duke (http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com_d4j_ezine&task=read&page=1&category=2&article=1995&Itemid=29).[/doHTML]
And a quotable bit from rottentomatoes.com:
No, he won't be playing the title character, but it looks like Wahlberg is being primed for the role of "Duke." If I knew anything about "G.I. Joe," I could dole out a little more information, but I'm assured that Duke is a good guy and not a bad guy.
The "title" character? And who would that be? At least the weiner admits he knows nothing about G.I. Joe.
-
The title character in G.I. Joe would be Joe Colton, but he never showed up in the Animated Series (I don't know about the comic.) But he was the one that had the code name "G.I.Joe".
And if the GI Joe movie ends up being anything like what the Transformers looks to be shaping up to be, then I hope it never gets made.

I smell a come-back for the Funky Bunch!

here's a quote from the producer of the movie Lorenzo di Bonaventura
"Action Man is the equivalent of G.I. Joe internationally pretty much. It's a different character, but pretty much the same idea and his name is Alex Mann. So we're creating a buddy movie between Duke and Alex. That's what we're doing"
:blink:
-
WhAAAAAAAAAAaa? Who cares about "internationally"? Fuck the other nations, this is G.I.Joe, the American hero! All those other wanks are on their own!
-
Yeah I gotta agree. Action Man is lamer then lame. I'd much rather see Pimp Daddy Destro in this flick then Action Man.
-
The two Action Man toons I can think of totally bombed here. I mentioned this to Merla and she didn't even know who the hell Action Man is. Maybe they can squeeze him in there as an honorary Joe or something, but this is the Joe's picture, consarnit.
-
Eh...I'd just rather not have that limey anywhere near this thing.
-
Every movie could use a good limey.
-
Only if they are killed in the first 30 mins...and then what are you going to do with the black guy?
-
That depends. Did we get Sidney Poitier as planned?
-
No. Best we can hope for is Wayne Brady.
-
And he can choke a bitch, just like the real military!
