At least the release date of POC in August at least works in favour of the date of the CanJoeCon.   Maybe we'll get to see more new product.

Whoops on the "ToyFare/Fair."  Perhaps I had Twisted Mego Theater on the brain?  ;D

No sign of the Shadow Tracker figure.. :-[

I was looking forward to getting a Rasta-Viper.

I wish they did more with the Resolute Storm Shadow.  And why the Metal Gear Solid and Prince of Persia looking design of the POC figures?   My fav. is the new Dreadok and cycle.  I'll be very disappointed if the new HISS is a funny colour other than black.

 :lol: I was TRYING to figure out why that Duke figure looked so familiar to me.  I've already got HIS name picked out: Solid Duke.

Pursuit of Cobra packaging looks phenomenal.

Seeing the classic logo and the old-style single packs is neat.

HOWEVER, seeing new product utilizing it while playing around a bit reminds me of the early 90's when they were tinkering with the design (re: Battle Corps, DEF)

Best of all, the super-duper cool Jungle Viper is mere months away!

There's some pretty neat stuff, a lot more that I'm interested in than I thought there would be. PoC Alley-Viper, Dusty and Beachhead are for sure buys for me.

What do you guys think of the new Joe (star and three stripes) logo? I was just getting used to the Eagle logo, I would of preferred they kept it.

I really like that star/three stripes logo, because it's very similar to the old ARAH logo.  While I thought the Eagle logo was ok, I didn't like the fact that it somewhat kept all the RoC vehicles that sported it from kinda fitting in with the rest of my Joe vehicles.

I have always hated going through pictures such as this on yojoe.

Justin has a better organized page here

http://generalsjoes.com/g-i-joe-the-201 ... superpage/

As somebody stated, it does look like a lot of meh to me.

The line-up does seem pretty so-so, but I am happy to see the Resolute 7 packs.  And a new/old face sculpt for Duke.  Notice there is no Ripcord?  And the $5.99 price point.

If they are altering Duke and Destro to remove the movie likeness, could it be that Ripcord is in limbo while they decide if they will keep him african-american or return him to his original look?

I'm surprised the Ice-Viper Elite his disappeared.

Ripcord is still Black in the new webisodes so I doubt they'll change his ethnicity for the toyline.
