THE_CRIPPLER Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I am looking forward to getting a couple of the Hiss tanks. Has DST ever considered vehicles to go with the G.I. Joe Minimates? I think that would get fans in the G.I. Joe community more interested in G.I. Joe Minimates. Start with something small like a Fang or Zartan with his Swamp Skier.

DSTZach Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Obviously, we'd love to make vehicles, but you need a big order to pay for that massive tooling. Not out of the question, but we'll see how the line evolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_CRIPPLER Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 People that collect the G.I. Joe Classified line begged for vehicles when the line started. There haven't been a ton of vehicles released thus far, but the ones that have released sell really well. The HasLab vehicles all funded extremely fast also. I am hoping the G.I. Joe Minimates continues and evolves. Zach can you give us clues on what the next Minimate set is, or is it still undecided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I believe we are looking to the new, bestselling comics for inspiration. Hopefully that leads to some new characters, with an unavoidable exception or two. I'm excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Excited that the comics might help us finally get more to this series but I really, really hope the cartoon ones get made too. I can easily rattle off a dozen or two but Flint and Jaye are at the top. I have been able to read the new comics yet are due the character designs stay close to the classic cartoon, comic and/or toy versions or do they totally redesign everyone?

Skybound is making the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero comics, which is still being written by Larry Hama. Those looks are what we all know and love. The Energon Universe comics are their own thing. So far we have got a Cobra Commander, Duke, Destro, and Scarlet comic (which was horrible). Duke looks kinda scruffy with a beard and long hair, but is clean shaven at the end of his series. Cobra Commander looks looks goofy at first, wearing a trench coat and fedora for part of his comic. He looks great though by the end and is dressed similar to the Minimate that we have already received. Scarlet wears a different looking outfit, but like I said, that comic is horrible. I suggest that you check out Cobra Commander and the Duke comics. I think those are the best out of the four so far. Cobra Commander's storyline involves Cobra-la. Some people hate Cobra-la, but I think it was pretty well done. I think there may be trade paperbacks out for them. The characters that we have seen so far in the books (that I recall) are: Duke, Scarlet, Jinx, Clutch, Hawk, Stalker, Rock n Roll, Cover Girl, Destro, Iron Grenadiers, Darklon, Baroness, Major Bludd, Mercer, BAT, Scrap Iron, Cobra Troopers, Cobra Commander, Pythona, Cobra-la Royal Guards, Nemesis, Golobulus, Buzzer, Ripper, Torch, Zarana, Zandar, Storm Shadow, Tomax, Xamot, Crimson Guard, Chameleon (new character I believe), General Flagg.

nandoninny Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 i'm having fun with the scarlett comic. its not over yet so i'm not sure why you say it was horrible. at least let the story complete before you bash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooch Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I am also enjoying Scarlett alongside all the Energon Universe titles. I've dug Kelly Thompson's work over at Marvel and now a little DC. Her characters feel authentic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Thanks! I didn’t know they were continuing the existing and doing Energon. For some reason I thought they were just doing the Energon ones. Hopefully I can give it a try soon. Being a child in the 80s and 90s GI Joe and Transformers were a big part of my youth.

Four issues in and it still is not very good in my opinion. The other three limited series have been much better. Glad that you and some others are enjoying it though.
