I cam here hoping for/expecting an explanation of yesterday's comic, but nooooooo. I guess I should have expected that by now.

Apparently, the Canucks are excited about you.

You're just going to keep harping until we get a new Robo-Joe toy, aren't you?

Then where will you set your sights? Scoop? Female Range Viper? A Crystal Ball/Psycho Orb 2-pack?

...of course, none of those are really more ridiculous than the Codename: Montezuma's Skeleton army-builders you already made fun of. It needs to be something quixotic...

You're going to demand a Hector Ramirez figure, aren't you?

I just want a new version of all my favorite 90s clods. Metalhead. Cesspool. Maybe a Septic Tank for him to drive. Oh, and DEFINATELY the 90s version of the Snow Viper. You know, the one that traded in the snow shoes for a snow board.

He was re-issued in decent colors with the snowboard back in 1998.

G.I. Joe collectors suck. We're probably gonna get a convention-exclusive "Plague" pack or something.

What else does G.I. Joe have to look forward to than the same guys you already have?

Perhaps you failed to notice when I said 90s. The phrase "decent colors" goes counter to that objective. I want eye-searingly garish. You can't have a "decent colored" Ice Cream Soldier!

Also this Snakes would be nice

That mold was issued in 2005!

(Though I suspect the "Ski Instructor" colors are an essential element for you.)

Exactly! That Snake Eyes, in those colors, is the Snake Eyes I grew up with! DIC GI Joe was as much a part of my childhood as Sunbow.

Plus I want to recreate the Arcade game. All I need is that Snake Eyes updated and Duke in the orange and red pants and I'm more or less finished!

A Hector Ramirez figure would be awesome. You could probably use the Toht/Civilian Cobra Commander body with a new head and a microphone.

I know, I kinda want a CODENAME: Hector Ramirez figure stand too...
