Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Joecon was pretty much full of win. Lots of ARAH goodness, and most of the non-ARAH stuff was pretty neat too.

$30 Skystriker sounds fair, but $80 for the SDCC Starscream? Screw that! What a rip off!

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I'm all over the Skystriker...might have to get 2.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

lifeline w/ a weapon? wtf?

Lifeline came with a silver handgun, a silver backpack, a white medical case, and a black airmask.

lifeline w/ a weapon? wtf? these look great though...i'm looking at you sci-fi. haven't had a chance to watch renegades yet but i want that stormashadow. i dig the 2nd headsculpt.

That's what I thought, too.

Yup, I remember the figure with his sidearm. Still, the sidearm is not as puzzling as the assault rifle with the undermounted grenade launcher.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

well, the grenade launcher COULD be used to fire smoke or flares.
As for the rifle, Medic and pacifist or not, he COULD still use it to bluff if he needed too.

Assault rifle's mag probably loaded with "non-lethal" rubber bullets / baton rounds.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

lol, yeah, good point. his silver pistol was always a head scratcher even as a kid though. too influenced by that special missions comic with him and the october guard i guess. his figure was goofy looking but i was still a fan.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

pretty stoked about some of these new figures though. lots of good looking stuff coming out. joes have all but dired up at the walmarts and targets that i normally shop. a couple of the walmarts don't even have pegs for them anymore. still want to pick up an extra lowlight.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Meh, the whole pacifist thing with Lifeline is a bit overblown.

I kind of like the idea of him being SORT OF a pacifist - in that he struggles with the idea of having to kill someone, but will do it anyway, for the greater good. He IS a soldier, after all, even if he is a medic/pararescuer. But maybe the assault rifle/grenade launcher is a bit of overkill. I'll be displaying him without it, probably.

I don't put too much stock in the cartoon. They oversimplify things like that!

I loved his design and colors, and think Sideshow will be offering him.

As for being a pacifist and having a sidearm, he still has to defend himself. Doc has a sidearm as well.

the original figure had a gun...who cares that he comes with one...will be adding this classic figure to my "25th" collection along with crazy legs,Zarana,Sci-fi,Airtight,and Techo-viper
hopefully the upcoming 2 -7 packs are dreadknocks (zandar,thrasher,roadpig,Zanzibar etc)

Maybe he shoots to mame, not kill. Like just the knee caps? I gotta give it up to Hasbro, these figures look great. Renegades (RIP) are bought fo show!
