They just don't have that 'gi-joe' feel to them, really.
I'm a little disappointed.

I know, it shouldn't bug me as much as it does, but it manages to anyway.

Kinda both, really. As for what I'm looking forward to, the list is dwindling slowly. I was looking forward to these new Joes, but I'm probably not gonna pick any of them up now. The upcoming star wars figures look like preposed action-feature-riddled junk, and the new he-man figures probably aren't gonna have the joints that I'd want to put them in neat poses, and the new Micronauts line isn't coming out until 2003.

I know Bandai's making more MSiA, but I'm really happy with the ones I have now, I have all of my favorite mobile suits.

Maybe I'll take a step back for a couple of weeks, see if things become a little more appealing again, see if there's any new info that surfaces, finish up some trades that I have pending, maybe work on that Ambush Bug that I've been meaning to customize.
