Brian:
Looks like this is happening, very similar to Star Wars, blown up versions of the vintage figures:

Jesse James:
Hah!  Even more weird looking than the Star Wars ones in a way.

McMetal:
Oh man, I got all excited for a second and then realized it was the 80's figures.  :(

12" BulletMan and I am so there...

I kinda liked the idea of the Jumbo figure so having GI Joe figures doesn't bother me one way or the other.  The one thing I don't like, however, are the straight arm versions.  I know that's how they started out but all of those first releases got swivel arm re-releases in short order so I think GG could have started there and people wouldn't have complained.  I'm not a big enough fan of those original 82 Joes to buy in on these but if they add the swivel arm and get around to figures like Recondo or Snake Eyes V2 and Storm Shadow...I could be talked into them possibly.

I also like the idea of the footlocker for the first release and wouldn't mind if they all came that way rather than on the big bubble packaging with the card back.  I realize the goal is for them to look just like the originals but the footlocker idea I really like. 

   E...

Jesse James:
I'm not big on the Jumbo figs, but I think they're a  neat idea for those who dig 'em.

I thought it was sort of funny (in a purely sad way) that these were the only footprint GI Joe left more or less.   :-\
