I have been buying Joe since 1983 and will continue to due so as long as the figures are cool.
I think anyone who gripes on this site only does so because they think Hasbro isn't doing what they(the collector) wants.
We don't always get what we want and we didn't get what we wanted back in the day either.
Hasbro is going to do whatever they want to do and we just have to hope as a business, they will take our needs and wants into consideration.
There is a broad fan base to consider plus the little kids they are trying hopefully hard to capture.
Regardless, I just have to say that GI JOe is a fully realized fantasy with this new 25th anniversary lineup.
They really need to double up the cases like the Star Wars stuff.
I go to Wally world every night hoping to find a case on the pallets and you have to look carefull because the cases are smallest things and the star wars are huge!
There seem to be a lot of army builder collectors and if they would double up on the capacity in a case, they could put more vipers and troopers and stuff like that in they case and a couple case variants would be nice!
Not gonna happen but it would be convenient!
I would agree that we are on the presuppose of a new grand age of G.I.Joe
I just hope Resolute and the new movie will invigorate the kids of the US like the old cartoon and comic did for us old timers.
It was a satanically coordinated marketing scheme back in the day and GIJoe had a huge market share.
These days, there is so many toy lines in the market and I don't see it happening like it did.
Back in the days when Star Wars came out, all the kids on my block were obsessed with it! They had a lot of the toys and we talked about the movies.
I was the only kid on my block who had GI Joe. Everyone thought it was stupid. They wanted Storm Troopers and I had Rock N' Roll!
When the new Star Wars films came out, I didn't see that kind of response to the new films.
I believe kids tastes have changed.
Maybe they are into more video games now and the internet.
I am eagerly anticipating when this movie hits the theaters because then we will see if it is a sensation which will capture kids hearts and minds.
If Hasbro could get a daily series out on Cartoon Network, maybe this would help things too.
It would obviously have to be up to the current style so kids would not be alienated from it. Resolute seems fully realized to accomplish this task.
Hasbro better get a move on though. I think they have 6 months to make this happen.
I just realized this takes millions of dollars to promote and produce these shows. Such a massive investment is staggering!
I hope this pays off for them folks.
