Makes me wonder *when* this movie takes place, as the plane on the left is still spotting CCCP insignia. I would have figured (given the real life time/star aging) they'd be going up against the Chinese PLAA in this one.

Yeah, but would it make any money if China banned it from showing in their theaters because of that is the question.

That is a fair and valid point, and at least it's not "North Korea" *cough*terribleRedDawnRemake*cough*

I bought that set. It's just another set of repaints from "The Corps" molds. I think they were going for 80s nostalgia (just like every other toy company these days) so I wouldn't read too much into how the decos relate to the new movie.

Okay, seriously... I look at the Corps and, you know... For a toy line that GiJoe fans made fun of for years, here it is, almost 40 years later and GiJoe is trying to desperately make a revival. Meanwhile, the Corps has been going on since. Maybe not as strong as it used to be... But at least if I wanted to buy figures of the Corps, I can do that anytime. I have to special order the Joes. And it's not like the Corps are cheap pieces of crap anymore. They're comparable to the later days of GiJoe. (Like the late 90s, before the Spy Troops revival.) And they still cost a fraction of the Joe toys. Not to mention, with the Kong, Jumanji, Aliens and Top Gun tie-ins... you can easily have your monster fighting playsets with no problem.
Sometimes, I wonder what would happen if the Corps got a really good media tie in for once?
