Hey everybody, with the retail presence of G.I. Joe essential done for the foreseeable future, I was reflecting on the 25th anniversary, POC, Rise of Cobra, Retaliation, etc and compiled a list of all things I can't believe Hasbro did or did not do over the course of the line. Of course, these are all minor gripes and this is all in fun. Feel free to add your own to the list. Let's begin.
I can't believe Hasbro...
1) Didn't give us a single carded, modern era, classic Cover Girl, . It was released by the club, and now the figure is in high demand. This really should have been a retail release. Apply this logic to the figure/character of your choice.
2) Didn't give us a dress uniform body/buck to reuse for General Austin, Flagg, Hawk, Hollingsworth, etc
3) Tried to sell us Blowtorch 3 times with only minor paint differences.
4) Didn't make a white suit wearing formal storm shadow for the ROC line. There have been some great customs using the Face body from the A-Team line.
5) Didn't include bladed tonfu weapons with snake eyes in the ROC line since this is the weapon he defeated storm shadow with in the film.
Thankfully, FSS Jinx fixed this problem.
6) Didn't make multi packs of individual troopers. but gave us the Defence of Cobra Island 7 pack which made it difficult and expensive to troop build any of the figures in that set. Alley Viper, Night Creeper, etc...
7) Gave Major Bludd limited articulation in his arm as a "tribute"...
8) Retooled the Skystriker for only a single figure, instead of two.
9) Made finding the 5th set to complete the MASS device so difficul to find at retail, leaving so many with incomplete MASS devices.
10) Sculpted one of the worst heads I have ever seen for the first Modern Era release of Spirit.
Post your own "I can't believe Hasbro..." thoughts and opinions.
