Btw, the only innovation I se here is the helmet, nothing more.. :\
| The Modern Era GI Joe line has spoiled me. I no longer buy any figure that has primitive articulation. Nice try, though! Hey Hasbro, if you want a shot at cutting into the 3rd party money machine, how about using the M.E. GI Joe style to bring us characters like Carly, Spike, Sparkplug, Dr. Arkeville, Old Snake, Marissa Fairborne, etc.? Those would have HUGE crossover appeal. Remember the hard-on people had for SDCC Starscream? That was like toy-collector Viagra! |
I got started on my dislike of primitive pin-jointed figures, which led me to Modern Era GI Joe. I understand the scales are different, yet I still think these would be better if they were ball-jointed. As for my comments about Hasbro dropping the ball (again), I stand by that. Just look at the fandom's response to the Wonderfest Hi-Q and Minerva figures! They could make a nice dent in 3rd party appeal by selling figures like that on hasbrotoyshop.com.

| Doesn't MP-10 already come with Spike? What's the point of releasing another one? Give us Sparkplug, and Chip Chase instead. |
| Some of us don't care for the play-dough-like faceless Spike thing that came with MP-10 Convoy. Dr. Wu's Spike and Sparkplug look pretty darn cool! Definitely bought and can display them together with MP-10 (and have both sitting in the cab of his truck, or tooling around in Roller). Playability is a nice touch there. That said, I really hope Dr. Wu works on poseable and articulated versions of Jack, Raph, and Miko from TF Prime. They don't have to necessarily scale correctly to the Deluxe and Voyager toys (it's not like there are Human Alliance versions of TFP toys anyway), as long as they look good. Would help those folks who never saw the Entertainment 2-pack of Deluxe Optimus and Megatron and thus never got the three PVC kids that came with. Or a Fowler and Silas. They'd be cool too. |
| Shouldn't spike/sparkplug be in scale with the already existing head/target/power masters, Maybe a tiny bit smaller cause of all the metal the masters ware, Is anyone else interested in a gallen headmaster - same body type as the original with either a removable helmet showing off his trademark bowl hair cut from the g1 comics OR 2 interchangeable head, one with hair and one with helmet, How cool would that be, Might as well do a proper zarak as well while were at it, and bould slaphead duros - I can see potential, Chipchase action figure would just be the coolest - complete with wheelchair and some kind of a computer accessorie, |
