Or maybe I should ask, what's up with Hasbro?

I saw the prototype picture of Falcon before, I looked at it again just now & I'm killed.
Why are they giving us Duke's body for Falcon?
Somebody else here mentioned how there are several characters with jackets & Falcon is one of 'em!

Hasbro, all you have to do is sculpt out a new torso & give him some rolled up sleeves.

I'm going through my Ultimate Guide To G.I.*JOE as I type this to pick out how many figures have BDU jackets.

1 - Recondo
2 - Dusty
3 - Footloose
4 - Leatherneck (He has a vest on over his jacket)
5 - Falcon
6 - Big Ben
7 - Red Star
8 - Stalker (Talking Battle Commanders) This is a cool figure when you take his pack off.
9 - Bullet Proof
10 - Duke (Battle Corps)
11 - Leatherneck (Battle Corps)

Firefly doesn't wear a jacket but he'd look cool with one.

There are plenty of figures that could be made with a jacket torso.
Factor in any repaints Hasbro could put out, Tiger Force Dusty & Recondo, Night Force Falcon or Sonic Fighter Falcon (Don't sonic him out, just put him in grey digital camo.)

Obviously I'm a fan of the G.I.*JOE team's resident Green Beret, so I wanna see an accurate version of him. Dusty is one of my favorites as well. That Battle Corps Duke looks tough! Put all of these guys out. Just make them look RIGHT.

Don't crap on a plate & call it food.

Considering we haven't even seen painted pics of the new Falcon, I don't understand what all the hub-bub is about. You' re not the first person I've heard griping about his design.

Other than the dreaded "Duke arms" I think he looks great. I can't wait to see the final product!

I love the web gear, head sculpt and accessories.
Why couldn't they use Tiger Flint's arms?

Well, brothers do share...
