Title: China's GI JOE using PTE toys.
Post by: canprime on October 27, 2009, 05:32:35 PM
Saw this on another board.

All I can say is sweet!!!!!  If they did a resolute show, I would love to see something like these guys to replace the October Guard as an alternate to the JOEs.

That was one of the most awesome things I have ever seen from a knock off. If they can do that quality of animation and provide some strong characterization to go with it, they may have themselves a GI JOE killer.

I liked the "stupid tank" flying tank stuff - must have had Wild Bill flying thier tank too.

But what I loved most was the bad guys. There are 2 things holding PTE from being the next break out military toy: The lack of identifiable characters and the lack of a compelling enemy.

IF PTE created those bad guy robot-chaingun-armed-bats-from-hell that were in the cartoon, I would fill a large shelf for them.

And at PTE pricing, I could afford to.

I wouldn't call PTE a knockoff, since they don't try to imitate GIJoe in any way.

The cartoon was pretty decent, although it was comical how the soldiers all had their toy articulation drawn on their character models. And there was that silly moment where the kid was all starry-eyed and fascinated while bullets flew inches away from his head. Otherwise, good animation and action segments... I really liked the tank bashing through a building onto the streets, and the LAV taking some rockets to protect the Humvee. That's the sort of action I'd like to see in a Joe cartoon (something the allegedly-popular Resolute failed to bring).

I'd love to see those robots as toys, and those heads with the removable helmets are pretty cool, although since they're all Chinese soldiers, I think if the toys get imported we'll just get the older "American and British" soldier heads from the Marines, Rangers, Delta and SAS sub-lines of PTE.

That was a decent little cartoon. I think G.I. Joe could use some competition. Look at the WWF back in the mid 90's, before the "attitude era". They were starting to get stale, then WCW came along and forced them to improve their product. Of course WWF's attitude era was basically ripping off ECW, but that's another story.

The point is competition forces people to not be so complacent and force them to make better product.

Cartoon is spiffy, but i would like to see them do those walker mechs, if they make a small variety of them, I might actual buy some to create a new enemy for my joint Cobra/Joe forces.

Anybody try to translate any of the pages? Because what is the deal with the Beatles wannabes?

And Sears Canada has some too.

I would trade one of those buildings for that SU-27 jet.
