Any chance Hasbro will give us the Russian equivalent of the Joes?

If the line goes long enough I don't see why not.

I'd love to see them all get made. I know Russia is a POS but c'mon, these are fictional characters! Besides, they weren't all Russian, they came from the various Warsaw Pact countries. Obsolete politics yes, but they're just cool looking action figures. It doesn't matter.

I’d welcome them, but there’s a lot more Joes and Cobras to go through.  Considering the current climate, I see the Guard as being a ways off.  Still, I can see them coming eventually.

To be fair the 1980's were not a popular time to showcase Soviets. It's why they were attention grabbing.

I think there is an outside chance for some of the more outlandish looks, and those characters who aren't specifically Russian.  I mean they are putting out another Winter Guard in the ML line.  Sure she is a "super villain" that isn't based in semi-reality like a bunch of Joes who are semi-realistic military. 

However there could be a chance.

I'd love to get the full Oktober Guard. Just to have a character with the perfect name of Horrorshow would be worth it.

Want them, yes, very much.  Expect them, not a chance.

There is no way Hasbro makes a product that could be perceived as glorifying the Soviet or Russian military in this year, or probably even the next 5 years, unless it’s some kind of online exclusive. The October Guard would have had a better chance being made if they were villains, but no US company is going to go out on a limb by making heroic Russian soldiers and try to convince Walmart to carry them.

I’d take them but they would probably be good as Pulse exclusives. Same with retro Cross Country.
