G.I. Joe Resolute Figures in Stores?
I’ve seen several sites posting the Resolute figures online but I haven’t seen a single one of these in stores yet. www.gijoe-action.com has a decent shot of all of the figures (carded).
The Cobra Commander figure looks really nice.
This wave also includes Blowtorch (who I’ll need to grab, solely for nostalgia purposes — check this post on my LiveJournal for the reason why I need him). Flint, though some people love him, I can do without.
And do we really need another Snake Eyes figure?
I wasn’t entirely sold on the Resolute concept until I saw the figures. The designs are terrific (especially Cobra Commander and the Cobra Trooper) and will eventually be a welcome addition to the collection when I get around to buying them.
The Flint and Snake Eyes figures in the case aren’t new. They’re just the characters that were picked to fill out the case. The great part about that Flint is that it comes with an extra head of a Cobra trooper you can swap out. You can put the Flint head on a pike or something behind Cobra Commander’s throne.
The Resolute figures look great. I’m hoping the animated shorts will be as good as the teaser trailer that’s floating online. At the very least Resolute will probably be better than the live-action movie.
