I am surprised at the response to these figures. Clearly MC is making a push to put out a product that both 12" and 3-3/4" collectors would buy. It could be a good idea, or it could be fatal. You could get both sides buying, or neither side buying because it isn't "their GIJoe". Me personally, I really don't care for these AT figures at all. I want the AT Fang because it is a Fang. But the figure will get sold off and I won't bother with any of the other sets, even Dr. Venom. I never really had a desire for a Dr. Venom figure to begin with.

I think (Or at least hope) these are going to be a huge hit for exactly the reason you mentioned. 3 3/4" collectors are going to want them because they're 3 3/4" and 12" guys are going to want them because they're Adventure Team themed.

Me I LOVE the Adventure Team and I love 3 3/4" scale Joes so these are GREAT IMO. I want at least one of each, maybe more depending on how overpriced they are.

I wouldn't mind getting them. They'd make a neat sub-team.

I see a lot of potential in the figures.

The vehicles do nothing at all for me.

Yeah the vehicles are all kinda weak.

Glad to see that mutant clam though, I've been looking for one to use with my 3 3/4" Joes for a while (Missed out again at the Con!).

No greater truth right there.

I LOVE the idea of this subline. I always wanted to see something like it but I never dared actually wish for it because it would have led to hope therefore potential disappointment. But to see it become potential reality is awesome and it's a definitely bonus that the figures are Anniversary style IMO.

IF they follow all the way through with it... The track record is not real encouraging...
