I had a feeling you might be thinking Spirit could be seen as a stereotype. It's a legit concern, especially in today's world. My rebuttal to that would be every company makes Storm Shadow and he's a Japanese man dressed as a ninja. No one has a problem with that because he's a badass. Well in the animated series Spirit often fought that badass ninja and they had a mutual respect for each other as adversaries. That's why he's one of my favorite characters from the show.
Exactly! Plus, I am sure you could update his outfit a little to be a little less stereotypical.

Most ninjas are Japanese, so I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. Spirit is certainly awesome.

Decided to preorder Destro from BBTS. Added him to my pile of loot with Dark Phoenix since both should hit shops around the same time.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

In all honesty these people crying about this crap are just plain stupid. They aren’t the ones that would buy this stuff anyways. Should they not make storm or others just because they are black then? People need to pull their heads out of their rears. Most of the cry babies aren’t even of the culture they are crying about. People just need to quit being such pussies.

There's a difference between a Black superhero and a Native American who goes into battle with a feather headband. I love him, but I'm not Native American. I hope we make him.

That's a bad outfit, whoo!
Diamond Select Showcase Exclusive




And yes I pre-ordered. If all the pieces look as good as the Destros I'm in for the long haul.

Just came across these metalfigs from Jada and would love it if we got Snake Eyes painted with this silver and black color scheme.

I have high hopes the Gallery line for GI Joe will go beyond the usual 4-5 characters that usually get made!

Destro is a great start can't wait to see more!

With only one character so far we may not get past 5.
