Topic: 2011 G.I. Joe Figures

[beast from the east]

ebay had lots of pegs to choose from. lol  My Zellers and Walmart rarely get new waves in for GI JOE and when they do its only 1 box of them so if I don't get there fiest I miss out but I normally get everything that comes in.

i'll be getting the fourth pictured figure the 8th and the 15th
all for a real life dio ... clues are the weapons of 8th and 15th and the head of the fourth

err is just me or is the main weapon of the guy in picture #9   an exact copy of the heavy machine gun in the film ALIENS  ,remove the ammo box and it is an EXACT copy  and i mean exact copy !  (the ones Drake and Vasquez carry)

Jay: This GIJoe line is heavily influenced in design by 80's action/scifi movies and video games.  the Quick Kick TRU exclusive is Bruce Lee from Enter the Dragon.  If you take off his gi he even has the scars on his Torso!!!  The Spirit is Billy from Predator and I think the Recondo is loosely based on Blane from the same movie. The 1st POC Duke is Solid Snake from the original Metal Gear NES game. The newest Stormshadow is based on Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden!! The list goes on and on.  I really think it is cool how they are making these figures to look like these characters. It is more proof that this liken is aimed at collectors like me who saw all those movies and played those games as a kid.  It makes me want to get them even more!

YEAH! I can actually say I am happy with what Hasbro is doing here. I got a Bruce Lee head coming to me from SlayerDesignStudios.net and I'm gonna use that Quick Kick to make a custom Bruce.

My Walmart has 8 empty pegs for G I Joe figures. i hoping their waiting for a shipment to come in soon. Been wanting to get some jungle bats and cobra troopers

I thought Hasbro was doing a poor job with SW distribution, but I think the Joes are worse!
