I actually agree with you!!!!

Every drunk has a moment of clarity now and then.

I agree with you to extent. The Marvel Comics run definitely had it's footing in the real world, but towards the end of the run . . . IMHO . . . it strayed.
The Devil's Due run of the series with it's faults . . . picked up where the Marvel Comics run ended, but it too strayed significant with way too many offshoots and completely lost it's focus.
The IDW run . . . I'm still evaluating it, but I am not completely impressed with it so far.
I don't know anything about the kinds of profits they reaped or failed to reap with this series, but they sure seemed popular when it came out. Hopefully the DVD will sell well enough to convince Hasbro to do a sequel, and to release more Resolute figures.

While the Marvel comics strayed a bit, they were still the best. Anything from Devil's Due is just a blatant bastardization of anything Marvel did. Zaran not really being Zartan?! Um... yeah. They just took too many liberties. As for IDW, they're basically copying Hama's orignal stuff but not doing a very good job of it. So for this, make mine Marvel.

Did you read that Chuckles mini series from IDW? One of the coolest Joe stories I have ever read.

I did. And yes, it was cool, but Jinx is dead before G.I. Joe even really starts? WTF?! I have the Giant Sized Special Issue and haven't read it yet. But as good as that is, and as cool as it made an otherwise irrelevant character, Chuckles, I still think the Marvel stories were that much better.

Oh yeah *spoiler tags* NAM!
And its not that I prefer one over the other I'm just saying that IDW showed promise with that series. Besides people gotta die...can't always jump out of a Skystryker at the last second with a parachute.

I was watching Star Trek this past weekend and thought I recognized the green chick. Rachel Nichols, same actress who played Scarlett.

Mine's bigger.
I just watched this the other day and I thought it was pretty good. I still haven't watched RoC--it's been in the Netflix envelope for weeks--I just know how bad it will suck ass and I can't bring myself to watch it.

Broke my no ROC rule today but it was a for a good cause and for $5 I really couldn't say no.

Gets worse.
Those ROC Arashikagi 2-packs WalMart's selling also have Resolute figures in them.

While I'm tempted to go back and get some of the others I probably won't worry about it. The Gung-Ho set looks cool but I'm not biting for $13.

There's a series of 3 2-packs. Gung Ho, Tunnel Rat and Monkey Wrench are all Resolute.

*Billy Dee Williams voice* It's not my fault!
Had Hasbro not dropped the ball on Resolute product this amazing figure would not have been saddled with the shtty ROC figures packaging. But I digress.
I kinda want a 1/6 version now...

I would buy a 1/6 resolute snake eyes in a heartbeat. Same goes for Duke and Gung Ho.

A friend of mine is working on a 1:6 Duke from Resolute. I'll post pictures when he completes it.
