I am having troubles with the costumes. Sure Snake Eyes looks great, but what's with everybody wearing his outfit? If I remember right, the coolest thing about GI Joe back in the day was waiting to see what new 'cool' outfit the next series was going to have. Were the marketing guys asleep during this meeting? Who wants to buy15 action figures all with the same body, just different heads. That sounds great! I enjoy the stuff that Sommers has done, so there's a good chance it will be entertaining, just not what we (the kids that grew up with it) remember. But then again, why would Hollywood NOT mess something up that's already been around for years? I’m still up in the air on this. I am having troubles with the costumes.
