Re Snake v3 - they did make the knives removable for the 25th version but it was kind of a pain and they didn’t sit well generally. Be careful what you wish for…
That's definitely one way they could do it, and it might work better at this scale, BUT I'd rather they do sheaths. Even though they'll always be put away, I still would like that. We do have some sculpted accessories as opposed to removable, like grenades and such, and honestly I'd rather have sculpted butterfly swords on Snake Eyes V3 than no Snake Eyes V3 at all.
The lack of female characters releases in the near future (I can only think of Pythona?) is starting to stall my enjoyment of collecting this line, to be honest. The figures are great, but I think ML and TBS have spoiled me in regards to expecting at least 1 or 2 female characters per wave.
I don't know about now, but yeah, come on, even Todd McFarlane had a female in every wave back in the original Spawn series days. (As well as Wetworks and his Total Chaos line.
I understand there aren't a lot of those in GI Joe, but there's still a bunch they could make.
And yeah, putting them as a tier in a Haslab doens't work for me.
Agreed on the Haslab. It's neat for the haslab people, but I would like Glenda and the Hiss Gunner. And the pilot Baroness would be a new character for me.
But yeah, as far as the original line goes (where almost every year did have a female character included), they've done a pretty good job of getting them covered. Scarlett, Lady Jaye, Cover Girl, Baroness, Zarana, Jinx, and even Shooter. We also got Helix obviously, and I did get two Marines to be distinct characters. Quarrel and Glenda are awesome additions too, and I appreciate how distinct Classified made them as characters.
But diving into all the Joe stuff across the years, there's of course GI Jane, but also Bombstrike, Mistress Armada, Mara, Daina, Mayday, Black Hat, Munitia, Chameleon (IDW), Chameleon II (IDW), Chameleon (Energon), Feedback, Red Scream, Dawn Moreno, Copperback (IDW), Dial Tone, Overkill (Energon, though she's apparently not been physically shown), Doc, Firewall, Zanya, Dr. Adele Burkhart, Stiletto, Junko Akita (Devil's Due), Vill (Energon), Solila (Energon), Hashtag, Stanley, Heart-Wrencher, Marissa Faireborn, and Dela Eden. And if you want to go beyond the more actiony ones, there's people like Dr. Biggles Jones.
Jinx's yellow/black movie suit is hella cool
Yes, I would definitely get that figure, even if they can't/don't do an unmasked head.
We've gotten Quarrel and Glenda already so how about Sparta too?
She seems pretty likely after those two.
Ultimately though, it would be nice if they introduced a new one every now and then that wasn't just an army builder.
Agreed, and there's always all new/never before seen characters like Wolf Spider. That's possibly the most exciting avenue for me with this line. Yeah, cover the originals, please, but now and then stretch your creativity in a new direction and give us characters never done before at all.
