What I'm asking is "Where do you want the line to go in the future?" Me? I want the line to continue its current direction of new designs and new characters with throwback figures sprinkled in. That was my favorite thing about the 2002-2006 era.

I'm on the oppsoite side of the fence, hoping for more ARAH accurate representation with the odd updated character thrown in. That being said the POC lines designs are great I just love the nostalgia of the vintage designs.

I've been a big fan of the POC line; realistic while still having a sense the 80s figures and characters. I think a good yearly theme to wrap new figures around would be cool, with the occasional tie in to TV or comics.

Me I just want a better marketing materials like brochures, cartoon tie ins, comic books tie ins and TV commercials. Because as a kid these materials fuels my imagination even before I have the toy itself. Plus I think Hasbro could exploit the customize market, since the new sculps are more customizer friendly much like what bandai is doing with the Gundam line. I really wish what they did with the Hall of Hero is much like what the Japanese market do with their master grade.

i want Tiger Force and Dreadnoks. oh. and more tie in figures like Matt Trakker

not sure why i like Tiger Force so much. i think it's because there were so many foreign figures from numerous countries for the same team to hunt instead of a few Eco or Sky Patrol figures from 1 country.

Dreadnoks are so cool to me with their kit bashed weapons and vehicles. they're tons of fun. if only they were in the Joe movie. but they'd have to be like the Tremor Brothers from Smokin' Aces. so Smokin' Aces style Dreadnok figures would rock.

Ideally, I'd like to largely see the brand move forward. I generally prefer the current design aesthetic used for the POC run, but put me in the camp that would be happy if Hasbro never released another Duke figure. I'd like to see the toyline continue as it did in the 80's (yes, yes - the money isn't there) with almost entirely new characters from year to year, with very few, if any, repeats. (Although, hitting up characters from the 80's who;ve previously only had 1 figure, in a completely new design, such as Skydive, is a win.) If have no desire for remakes of characters done up in complete slavish devotion to their 80's design, even though mswi's customs are awesome.

Now, realism shoved into that, I know full well Hasbro is going to inject the big characters (SE, Duke, CC, etc) - I'd prefer they would move these characters into a carry-forward status, and only release one version for a given year, and repack them if need be.

that's a good point about Cobra Commander and Snake Eyes and Duke. all those dudes. too many 82 style Commanders exist in the 25th style. they'd have to think things through harder before pumping out just another repaint. that's what killed the line for me before. and i hate Duke. hate him. his character bothers me. sorry to you Duke fans, but he's not the leader of the Joe team. Hawk is. Hawk should be featured. would be like focusing on Metal Head as the leader of the Genadiers when everyone knows Destro is their leader. it bothers me.

would be nice to have 2 lines running at the same time. almost like Transformers where they have their Legends sizes and their Leader class or whatever. but with Joes have classic remakes and then realistic versions. more product more fun

Consistency

I'd actually like to see about 12 BRAND NEW figures/concepts/characters. Not based on any other characters. And not necessarily based on
canceled concepts either. If the problem is there are too many Dukes and CC's and Destro's then let them retire.
