modern Hasbro AT GI Joes this year??

I think it's a cool and creative line but it has a miniscule fanbase and a lot of people don't even know it's related to Joe.

I'm surprised that Bulletman hasn't become a fan club exclusive, he's hard to get complete and it wouldn't take a tremendous effort to repop him.

actually brazil was still producing the 70's us style muscle body as recently as 15 years ago (during the Hall of fame 12" era in the states and the ACTION MAN spy era in the uk) so if it was something they really wanted to do all they have to do is rectrate the helmet and the defender head

The UK life like bodies were different from the US muscle bodies. So even if they were used it wouldn't be an exact match to the original Bulletman (though, as was said, a pseudo-repro could be engineered).

Also, the GI Joe club doesn't own those 40th AM molds so can't access them (I doubt Hasbro even has the rights to them as the 40th AM line was done by the guy who does Modeler's Loft and Palitoy, and that body was unique to Palitoy).

Sean

and the drastic desgin difference made it a much more playable figure and I have never found a later AM mucle body in peices like a joe,Group action joe from France or Action team from germany
