Concept case Rock'n'roll and Action Man would have been cool. Maybe next year.

Too bad, those are pretty cool. Though since GI Joe has become a TRU exclusive, they don't even show up in Canada anymore.

I would love a new Wild Weasel, but that art looks like it would have just been a rerelease of the comic pack version (which wasn't bad, though the head was way too small).

Rock n Roll makes me sad, but the rest, not so much.

Well, that's strikingly different than the art posted, and I more meant the mold than the paint scheme, but okay.

I actually really liked what we got of the 50th anniversary stuff, RnR is pretty much just POC Dusty with a new head (I am assuming it would be a variation on the hatted head from the ROC stuff... The cobra stuff was allot of what we saw already, though in nice decos (Stinger Driver is the SAW Viper with Ice Viper head and the vest which came with Night Adder first I believe, The Snow Serpent and Wild Weasel are basically the same) The Action Man in different environment gear is nice for LBC guys like me who will head swap.

the Outback & Falcon pictures were the same ones used on the package even though the figures deco was vastly different
so the package art didn't really translate to the actual figures

This is the best head sculpt of Wild Weasel, if not the best Wild Weasel. It would be cool to get one like this.

If you follow the link to the Deviantart page, you can also see 2 Scarlets and an '83 inspired Duke in the same pose as what we got. Note the gloves...Agent Mouse arms?

Here's the Duke just mentioned

Maybe it's art for this years releases.

Thanks Dusty79!

I'd say the Duke was intended to be an "ultimate" type like Flint, but they decided against it late in the process because they'd just re-released the MASS Device Duke the year before. Maybe this year... I'm curious about Scarlet. The '16 line was already female heavy, where would she fit?
