I'll believe when I see it.
On the plus side if you do choose to go through with CC all the way to shipment, then we should have some awesome naked chicks with CC pics to look forward too

They've had the license now for well over a year, we've already seen 5 figures and only 1 has been a Joe. I'm not going to start doing a Chicken Little dance yet, but I'm seeing hints of LOTR in reverse.
GI Joe will be the second longest running Sideshow line next to Star Wars.
Unfortunately, I dont think the joes would sell well, and it could endanger the line putting too much good guys out...Who the hell would buy a bearded man with a parrot...
Cobras all the way.

I don't see SSC going too deep into the Joes. I'd like to see Flint, Stalker and Scarlett before they're done, and I suppose we'll HAVE to get a Duke, but I'm much more interested in Cobra characters.
Bring on Destro. And the Baroness. And Firefly. And Crimson Guards. And and and....
You can't compare LOTR to GI JOE. Joe has been made in some form for 45 years, 25 of it ARAH and Cobra. LOTR? not so much.
LOTR failed because there just wasn't the interest. I really don't see how any fan of that series would not want the Fellowship. Faramir was the only bad choice and I don't see how even he could stop the line.
With GI Joe there is something for everyone: soldiers, terrorists, ninjas, sci-fi, fantasy.

Joes suck. Cobra rules. It all comes down to character design. Sadly, someone in the Hasbro department decided to put forth all the love and creative element into the Cobra characters. If the Joes had better character design (save Snake Eyes who looks more like a Cobra character vs. a Joe) and maybe Beachcomber, I would have been more split up between the two. As most other's would I imagine.
I think thats the standard response from someone that collects multiple SSC lines. I think Joe fans who are making Snake Eyes their first ever SSC item are probably more up for Joes like Hawk, Duke, Rock and Roll etc that are almost standard US military outfits.
Couldn't the same argument be made re: Star Wars?Joes suck. Cobra rules. It all comes down to character design.

Although now we are assuming that the one Trooper will be an offered variant. Could just be them f'n around with a figure for fun.
Either way, its an easy thing to do on your own, or pass on. Having variants for troop builders or completists is usually not a bad thing.
And personally I think the releases so far have been very good looking, I think they've done a great job of capturing the feel of GI Joe
Joe shmoe!
BRING ME MORE COBRAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dunno, I collect multiple lines and I'd like to see an equal amount of Joes AND Cobras. I think it's more a matter of personal taste.
