    That's kinda neat, I think I could make room on a shelf for a couple of those.

      I'm sure they will do quite well with these.

        That brings back some memories. I'd be in for Flash and Stalker. I totally forgot about the mortar guy, SHort Fuse. How useless was he?
        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

        If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

          Since Snake Eyes and Scarlett are the two joes I need to complete my MOC straight arm collection (and I just don't want to spend that kind of money) I'd definitely be interested in getting them. I wonder how far they'll go in the line, I'm sure a Destro, Baroness and Storm Shadow would be pretty popular too.

                How much anybody wanna bet because of the extra articulation these cost way more than the Star Wars ones?

                Maybe someday they'll do the Remco Mini Monsters.

                  Perhaps the licensing for GI Joe is less than SW, so maybe they can price accordingly. Or maybe not, because GG can be pretty greedy, and they might not pass the savings onto the consumer.

                  They'll sell a million Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander figures.

                    Hmmmm. Are they held together by a giant O-ring or did they modify the construction?

                    I can see the screw in the leg and the rivets, but I have to assume they aren't functional... I don't know. Interested in seeing more pics.

                      I wonder if some kids will take the screw out and make custom figures to fool people at flea markets?

                        It's funny how so many of us, independent of anyone else, thought to do that when we were kids. I did a lot of it. Some times, it was frustrating after the necks changed in '85. Then, for example, you couldn't put say Quick Kicks head on a version 1 Snake Eyes body.

                          These look fantastic! I wonder how well they will sell.

                          What were sales like for the Gentle Giant Star Wars figures?

                            Ha! yeah we probably all thought we invented doing it.
