2000 Figures

2002 Figures

In late 2001, the GiJoe collector community heard that there would be new sculpted figures in 2002 (WooHoo! No more repaints!) What we did not expect however, was that these figures would no longer use the traditional "O-Ring" construction. These figures were still 3 3/4" scale (roughly) and would be released in 2 packs, with a "VS" theme.  Early in 2002, the "Gijoe VS Cobra" line, Wave 1 was released. These new figures brought mixed feelings from the collector community. Some loved them, many hated them, and a lot more (including me) thought that they were AWESOME figures, but NOT Gijoe. Hasbro apparently has listened, and will be releasing new sculpts WITH the "O-Ring" construction later in the year.

At the same time as these new "Vs" themed figures hit the shelves, Hasbro has continued the "RAH Collection" line in 2002. So far, Dusty has been packaged with the "Night Rhino" - a Toys R Us Exclusive. There has been a set of figures commonly known as "Wave 5" released as well. Most notably this set has a repaint (better than the original, if you ask me) of Serpentor. Hasbro almost cancelled this set in favour of the "New Sculpt" figures, but public (collector) pressure convinced them to release them anyways. Unfortunately Hasbro decided to release these to online retailers only, and they sold out very quickly, making them difficult figures to get.
