It seems like every company is trying to jump on the Lego bandwagon these days. At this point, almost all my favorite properties can be found in block-figure form (still waiting on He-Man though...). For the most part, I'm loving this trend. They don't take up much space, they're relatively cheap, they're quirky, and they come out on a more regular basis than larger-scale figures. This G.I.Joe Kre-O line is still in its infancy and hopefully we'll see some improvements as time goes on. Something about these Kreons just doesn't have the same personality as Legos, Mini-mates, Kubricks, or even MegaBloks. The tapered cheeks are an interesting departure from the typical cylinder-shaped head, but I think the final result is that the heads end up looking too small for the bodies - which kind of goes against the classic winning formula of oversized noggins on block figures. With the entire library of Hasbro properties as potential figures, the Kre-O line could be a major hit, and I certainly hope it does. Let's check out these first two figure below.

Kre-O Blind Bag Collection G.I.JOE!
