That being said, I hope this movie succeeds like gangbusters, even if I personally end up hating it. If it is successful, then G.I. joe toys of all makes and variations will end up being made, including a lot more of the 25th anniversary line we all love, because parents will buy anything with the G.I. Joe logo on it for their kids if it does.
Most importantly, retailers will have
restored faith
in the line, and quite honestly, they haven't had that in years(anyone ever realize why it is Walmart keeps selling Corps! figures right next go G.I. Joes?). The "new sculpt" era of 2002-05 wasn't as successful as it could have been, as 3-3/4" was put on hiatus and the true "death of the line" was during 2005. Not "hey we are putting this on hiatus because we have some new 3-3/4 figures out in a different continuity", but "hey 3-3/4 is on hiatus because we just don't know if it will be successful and retailers aren't very faithful in it lasting". 2007-08 did great on nostalgia alone, but with the anniversary over last year and 09 starting in less than a week, a huge media tie in might be just what the G.I. Joe brand needs for retailers to finally realize that G.I. Joe is a timeless brand to have at stores. G.I. Joe has never had a huge media tie in like a blockbuster movie, even if we are not happy with the movie, if it does successfully in theaters and in toy sales, then I will be glad it was made. Success will guarantee more money for Hasbro to utilize in making stuff that caters to us, and a more powerful resurgence of G.I. Joe, the likes of which we have never seen before.
Anyways with the Rockslide, the only things I am disappointed with are the missle launchers. It would be great to have swappable components that are movie accurate, so that I could leave the launchers off and have more movie accuracy.
