You guys make great points, which makes gives me an idea.
What about two packs? Since we're going to get needless versions of the popular characters, what if each set contained a named character and an army builder. That way by the time you've purchased CC, Destro, Major Bludd, and Baroness, you've already got yourself 4 Cobra Soldiers.
Nothing fancy on the army builders, either. Maybe alternate heads or alternate web gear, but the same "base model" included with each named character figure.
For the Joes, I'd stick with two named characters. But I suppose you could make some Greenshirts or DIC Greenshirts or DD Greenshirts.

I'd emotionally support any offerings that included troops (that didn't wear gas masks).
The more i think about a GI Joe Retro Line the more i realize that the best retro GI Joe product that can be created (without completely new mold tooling) already has been created. Soft plastic lower arms to avoid thumb breakage? Check. Better head sculpts? Check. The only thing missing was plastic rivets for easier disassembly.
