In Name Only - GI Joe

Learning nothing from New Coke, Hasbro took GI JOE to the extreme!
Extremely stupid and unnecessary.

No Joes I Know-
Were we supposed to confuse that redhead for Scarlett and the crouching guy for Snake-Eyes?

These new Joes battled SKAR and Iron Klaw instead of Cobra.
He's no Cobra Commander.

From what I understand this Dark Horse series was based on the lame cartoon "sequel" to GI Joe: A Real American Hero.

I know that the Joes have gone through changes before, from 12-inch action doll of the 60's to 3¾-inch action figure superstar of the 80's, but this just seemed so wrong.
