I feel like I've only seen Retaliation once in theaters, I don't even own it, so maybe I'd like it less on repeated viewings. How you can have the ROCK and Bruce Willis in a movie and not have it be great is amazing. The Rock himself is like instant success. They must really suck.
And yes...
Honestly, the A-Team movie from a decade ago was the best GI JOE movie I've seen.
They felt like wacky, but plausible soldiers, who were doing stuff off the normal chain of command (in this case because they were framed for a crime they didn't commit..).
Going with Rocket Powered SuperSuits...
I think it does matter if they're trying to re-invigorate the brand.
NAM to us in the 80s was a real thing, a real place, a real incident you could tie these Joes to that made them "more real" than some fantasy like Transformers I guess. Obviously GI JOE vs COBRA is made-up, but all the MOS...
If I had an office in the house, or even a clear spot in the garage to set things up, I think I'd be a lot more compelled to keep stuff. Hell, even a display case in the house. But our current house is tiny and nerd/toys/etc is not allowed by the wife.
I was hoping for Pickelhaube s Hind to be...
Of course I am in CA. The worst part about 1:18 is shipping it around, since everything is so big.
We are moving soon, so I will be going through everything and deciding what I actually want to bother moving vs selling so I'll let you know, and probably update things (and maybe, finally get...
The race switching isn't super big to me, as Snake Eyes was always BLACK to me anyway as a kid (I only vaguely remember the Vietnam flashback comic where you see he was white).
And anyway, he's half white (Dad was English).
Also, the GI JOE origin stories don't really work anymore. Snake Eyes...
Yeah, we'll see.
Hoping they do good.
Ideally you'd have this movie focused on Snake Eyes and (I guess) Scarlet and probably Storm Shadow. Then have another movie that focuses on a couple other team members, and build up to a full team movie like AVENGERS or something.
Realistically, only...
I wonder if it'll take a bit for them to get going with vehicles, and they'll probably get them out just as the figure lines are stopping.. it's an evil cycle.
Maybe now is the time to unload my motorpool online :)
Haha.. Fighting 1:12! Fighting Scale! Fighting 1:1!
I think if I saw one in the wild I might get it if it looked really cool, to sit on my desk maybe. I have a bunch of nerd shit on my desk already. No desire to "collect" these though.
I just can't care about 1:12 stuff.
I'm not 100% sure why, but I didn't care about the Marvel or SW 1:12 stuff, and the Joe stuff looks to be more of the same. I never liked the Sideshow 1:6 Joe stuff either, though I know it was high quality.
I think maybe GI JOE is forever linked with 1:18...
