Last year, my wife and I went to my little nephew's 9th birthday and brought a 25th HISS as a present. I was all excited to give it to him since his dad is in the reserves and this would be his first GI Joe toy. When he opened it, he had this look of "what the hell is this crap", tossed it aside and opened up his next present. Ugh. I had to actually open it for him to get him to play with it but he wasn't showing any interest. After he ran off, his older brother (15) picked it up and commented about how cool it was and he started playing around with it and was having a good time. By the end of the night, he had stolen it and put it in his room. So, at least I succeeded in creating one fan that day.
I also have another little nephew (5) who I gave a pack of Joe Combat Heros to for Easter and he freaking loved them. His birthday is this month, so I scored three more packs of them for him. His dad is also holding a 25th CC in battle armor for him to open when he is old enough (he loved the original as a kid).
I have a kid on the way, due at the end of September, and by God, he will be surrounded by Joe stuff! Does anyone know if they make Cobra diapers?
Congrats on the kid. Man if they made Cobra diapers my kids would have been stylin...
