Thank god I never started a say Snake Eyes shelf, I would have some of those ugly ass S6 figures. Thankfully I can say that none of those and none of the upcoming Movie Figures will darken my doorstep.

What words are there to eat? Most of us have already stated that we could care less how great the molds, articulation, or whatever else is "cool" about these movie figures. The point is that the GI Joe movie line is not based on ARAH versions of the characters, and we simply have no interest in owning action figures based on the actors in this film. A cool sclupt is not going to make me change my mind and start troop building movie Joes anymore than a cool looking Indiana Jones toy would have me stocking up on wonderfuly crafted Nazis. Some of us just don't have to have every single item with GI JOE stamped acrossed the package.

what worries me is the possibility of the movie getting flopped. then the toyline will be warming pegs and shelves. look at the movie lines: the Indy and the Hulk toys right now.
if that happens, retail stores will again think twice of getting the future products at large quantities. Keep in mind, when the 25th line debuted last year, Hasbro was caught off guard due to the demand and popularity. As this continues, Hasbro will more than likely continue to make what we want. Provided the molds are present and such. |

All this talk of "movie crap" and "movie garbage"... Saying it over and over won't convince me you know! I'll actaully see them, then decide how good or 'crap' they are, the same with every other modern Joe released!

The Mocasin, Claw, FANG, Zartan's swamp ski, etc are completely new design/sculpt based off the originals. From a business stand point, you can't just jump right into something new with out first establishing a foundation. Should the vehicles sales really well, perhaps we will see better and bigger and new molds. As for the movie stuff, hey you are entitle to your opinion. |

I meant new figure sculpts. ENTIRE new ones not just rehasing an old one and then cleverly disguising it to not look like a rehash ie barbeque. A good figure but nothing more than a solid rehash with a tank and shoulder guards to hide the fact. With as much money as hasbro is pullin in right now one would think that we could get some completely new, no re-use parts, figures. But thats just me :>
