At least - one to open, one to keep sealed! Are they available easily from the States? we could perhaps order a case or two directly from Hasbro and save postage costs etc once they are out.

Still, it's a major step in the right direction.
2 Seconds and some yellow paint. Awesome. Better than any of the offerings in the last 20 years. You blokes in the Northern hemisphere make sure a shout is given if they make it to production;-)

I don't usually do 'Mint On Card', but I'd make an exception for this figure and get one to open and one to keep. I'd love to see the old ACTION FORCE or Z-FORCE logo on the card in the same way that 'M.A.S.K.' made it on to MATT TRAKKER's, but I suppose it would just say from the "International Collection", like Ninja-Ku and Pilot Scarlet.

Actually, I'd get three now that I think about it: One to keep MOC, one to open & keep as 'Scarlett' and another to slap some yellow paint on to become :quarrel:
DO IT HASBRO!!!

Here's the fella!

Pretty cool one too, if you ask me (which nobody did!). I'd like to see more spin-offs & homages, but seeing some of the whining over at Hisstank (for example), he may be a one-off.

The usual stuff: Why Trakker and not Ripcord/Recondo/Zap/Minbender etc etc. Thing is, GI JOE has always been adding new characters to it's roster and I see Matt Trakker as no exception. Some fans don't seem able to handle it though.

I think the Matt Tracker may of been a "test the waters" for a M.A.S.K revival?
I'm surprised we've never seen a Joe/Transformers cross over yet like Star Wars hve done, wouldn't a Skystriker into Ace figure be cool ?
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!
