I am EXTREMLY excited for this line, I love the amount of accessories each figure comes with, and I'm also pretty excited to see the band-less bodies.

Wicked! That has the opportunity to pull in new collectors to Mego.

This is great. It would be nice to see those classic GI Joes as well. I always thought my Megos needed one of those Mummy's Tomb sand vehicles from waaaay back in the day.

I know this is putting the cart before the horse (I can dream, can't I?), but if they can team up to make a GI Joe, they can team up to make a Darth Vader.

Got my set ordered... may order another to keep boxed. Some of the best toy news i have read in a LONG time. How exciting!

[Nostalgiabuff]

[toyhunter1970]

i dont know something just aint right mego was very 70's and Rah was 1982 and on mixing the two ?? i feel funny

[LonnieFisher]

I'd like to see some 70's Joes get into the mix!

These figures are something that I have been wanting for quite a long time now! I'm itching to hop on the pre order before it sells out. CAN MY JOB'S BONUS COME QUICKER PLEASE!?

[SpideyDude73]

Don't dislike it for what it is or isn't, like it because of where it shows Mego can go. Other than the Trek figures I was a bit deflated about the first few waves but the locomotive is picking up steam and I think Mego is putting out some great figures.

[Spectator]

In light of the new bandless bodies here, I'm a little disappointed that I'm not seeing universal-joint elbows (which I'd like to see for any non-retro body in general and is important for GIJoe, in particular).

These don't do much for me, but I'm happy for Marty that he's (apparently) happy.

Now get me some Mego Adventure Team GIJoes and I'll buy them ALL.

[The Bat]

I'm not a G.I. Joe Collector, but I think it's a really COOL line and want to support it. So...got my PRE-ORDER in!!

Now...Duke & Cobra Commander PLEASE!!

[LonnieFisher]

Estimated shipping in fall, which ends in less than two weeks. I wonder if they will ship before the end of the year.

[powersthatbe]
