If the choices for bringing back 3 3/4" G.I.Joe were limited to the following two, which format would you most prefer (either would include both new and old characters)?

78% (32) Exactly as they were in the 80's and 90's.
24% (10) Designed like "Star Wars" figures.

41 voters have answered this question.

Let's theorize. Hasbro brings back the 3 3/4" G.I.Joe series full force. Joe, Cobra, vehicles, the works. Even backs it up with a comic and cartoon. BUT -- the figures are designed like Star Wars toys -- limited articulation, different plastic, and they look very little like the 3 3/4" Joe of old and are not especially compatible with their predecessors. Do you get them?

52% (23) No. If they're not like the original line, they're not G.I.Joe.
36% (16) Might pick up a few, but overall I'd be disappointed.
0% (0) Probably buy the new characters, but not ones of old favorites.
18% (8) Probably buy vehicles if they're cool, since they'd work with any Joe.
9% (4) Sure, I'd buy the whole works! Figure design doesn't matter.

44 voters have answered this question.

For the record, for those of you who replied to the questions concerning a "Star Wars"-like G.I.Joe, what is your opinion of Star Wars figures in and of themselves?

8% (3) I think they're great and G.I.Joe should be like this!
36% (13) I think they're cool, but I wouldn't want to see G.I.Joe like this.
30% (11) I have no opinion about Star Wars figures one way or the other.
27% (10) I think Star Wars figures are poorly made, and I don't collect them.

36 voters have answered this question.

Hasbro is bringing back the 3 3/4" G.I.Joes in 2000. New package design, recolors of existing figures. But there's a new development: The figures will be smeared with black "paint-wipes" in the final step of assembly to seemingly make them look "battle-worn" or "weathered". What is your opinion of this feature?

28% (13) I think it's great. It makes the Joes look more realistic.
52% (24) Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
21% (10) I hate it! It makes the Joes look sloppy.
