Maybe I was too hasty in giving up on collecting G.I. Joe. I would only buy about 6 of those figures on that list. That's not so bad.

[CaptainTriumph]

There are a couple of these I would be interested in.

[Draven79]

There should not be so many Renegades in this line! I hate those designs!

That really need to do away with that Stalker figure and get rid of the card art image of him as well. The hair is a joke and the model they picked to sport it, looks NOTHING like what a Vietnam veteran would have been sportin' in 1982.

 

Er... the modern versions of these characters are no longer Vietnam vets. Stalker and company would be sixty + by now. Just because it's 30th Anniversary doesn't mean it's the same character.

 

Yeah, that wasn't a very good angle or reference to use to make my disdain of Stalkers card art and action figures look. I guess the bottomline is I don't care for the new dreadlocks and the youthful appearance of the character in the card art. Stalker was a more mature character when he was NEW in the 80's and even though this is (apparently) a newer version of him, I think he should still have tenor over the others, as he did before.

 

That being said I agree in principle that the dread look doesn't do much for me. I didn't mind the one Resolute version, but I don't really want it to become the norm.

 

Exactly! You've put it much better than what I was attempting to.

I was all geared up to argue you about Stalker's card art ...until I gave it another look. He just looks WAY too young. I can live with the dreads but he shouldn't look like he's fresh out of college.

i think he looks like Eriq La Salle from coming to america but with dreads instead of soul glow
