Not all of it is. There is a lot of original artwork in collectors hands. There are plenty that got painted over for Tiger Force, Python Patrol and Slaughter's Marauders though.
If this line fails, it won't be because of straight arms. Price will be the cause of death. I think we'll see the original 9 figures in straight arm and then we'll see the most popular swivels.
I think these are for sure coming.

One thing to remember is that when this set came out, G.I. Joe was in it's 3.75in infancy. This was the only playset available in 1982. It wasn't until the brand took off that we got the awesome Joe Headquarters playset in 1983. Cobra got the shaft on playsets until 1986 when the Terror Drome...
It's hard to find the Missile Command HQ period. I've never seen one sealed and I've only seen maybe 4 total for sale. They're out there but most are in bad shape.
I have to agree. I really like the game but their loot system is completely messed up. They need to reward players better for strike missions than they have been. Especially once you get past level 20. After 20, xp doesn't really mean anything and all players want is high level gear.
