Again I'm calling Hasbro out, G.I.JOE was an innovation in Boys toys PERIOD! from 64's military line, to the Amazing and Fantastic Adventure Team line, JOE was a driving force at retail, Packaging, Presence, availability, Marketing! Joe changed from 1/6 warrior, to SuperJoe, which may have been brief, but it showed that the property could be masterfully changed with the times. Fast forward to all the history and honor that went into making and marketing A Real American Hero, G.I.JOE changed and as I stated when Congress and the FCC changed it's educational ruling for cartoons JOE changed with that as well, Hasbro Now has to decide what to do with JOE, when HASCON was announced, and also when we were told that the Collectos club would be ending, I like so many others thought Hasbro was taking charge, I'm sorry but HASCON was a slap in the face to Joe collectors, yes it's cool that we got a panel,and yes, I realize JOE isn't hasbro's only product, but G.I.JOE dominated for decades in the industry, and by their own portfolios JOE made Hasbro a Market leader, Yes times have changed, Hasbro if you're reading these posts, I'm calling on you as a corporation to put forth a real long term viable solution to the G.I.JOE franchise, even if it's a shared universe concept, Give both old and new fans products, that are more than just a gimmick, Give us a cross platform of products, including a great videogame, an animated series, Heck, you guys deal with Marvel, speak with the Marvel Animation Dept, Bring JOE Back to the frontlines where he belongs! Don't water down a new line with 10 different versions of a single character ( Example duke, destro, cobra commander). Get creative, make a live action Adventure Team Series, and enough with the shampoo bottle 12 inch figures, as a parent they are just awful.Next HASCON you put on, Show us that JOE matters, I may just be a forum post to some, Conventions are great, meeting those who produce this and that, but G.I.JOE is not just a brand, He's a LEGACY, one that you Hasbro should put some real marketing and money behind. YO-JOE!
