What killed the line? The figures. Simply put. Apacolypse can preach to the gospel on this one. His son completely shunned the line, and his son is a HUGE G.I.Joe fan. Now, if a kid is turning his nose up at it, what do you think collectors would do?
If you think the line failed, look at all the threads across the fandom of modified 2.5" vehicles. "We" obviously liked the molds...
so what happened?
I say this: If the 2.5" line came with, let's say, figures that were the same size as:
M.A.S.K.
Air Raiders
Star Command
etc.
Then you would've had a hit. Lord knows I would've bought one of everything.
I will tell you want happen people accept whatever they can get because we are starved for something new. The line would have been som much better if it was the rise of the robots line they were going to do...they meaning Hasbro. I am glad all the fans are customizing the vehicles but it would be so much better if they think about things a little bit and really work on bringing this fun hobby to a new golden age.
again, my two cents.
'Nuff said ...new thread on something tomorrow...this is good we are discusssing and bringing are ideas out on the table lets keep it up.
