The funny thing is I DID grow up with Joe and I'm always out for new iterations and looks. With these long lived properties, you gotta take a chance every so often. Like TMNT, I always liked how the bring forth a new versions that stayed true, but brought a little something different. 2012 TMNT, awesome. 2018 TMNT, not so much, but I wasn't the target. Each generation of kids gets their version. Some work, some don't, but at least they tried to do something fresh.I always liked that Storm Shadow, BUT I didn't grow up with GI Joe really, so I'm not offput by discrepancies from the original figure the way someone who had him as a kid might be
Back to Joe, along with deepcuts (Icecream Soldier) and fan favorites (Iron Grenadier Destro), I would't mind seeing versions inspired by the various 3 3/4 lines (didn't really collect too many of those), and some never-befores from various media (Female Night Raven Pilot).
