I don't even know what Joe really needs at this point. Maybe just to be shot in the head and get it over with.

I'm glad you started this thread, OP. I've had this thought for a while now.
I think G.I.Joe somehow needs to "get with the times" and modernize the brand. Somehow latch onto new technology, recent trends, things that kids will like, understand, and get into. A plain ol' action figure isn't gonna cut it with today's kids. It just isn't, IMO. Exactly what do you mean, CT? Well...off the top of my head...things like that Facebook (is it Facebook?) game. That's a good start. Beyond that? I'm not sure. Maybe some type of badge on the figure that you could scan with your phone that links to the Joe website and plays some type of action scene with the figure you just scanned. I dunno...I'm just thinking out loud. Here's the product that got me thinking about this. I think this is a good example of how an old brand can stay current. Maybe this will convey what I mean a little better. Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 05-31-2012 at 07:00 PM.. |

Do those commercials work to bring more business to Hardee's? Maybe those directors for the Hardee's commercials should do a GI Joe movie.

A good movie with an awesome video game tie in. Then a sequel that holds up and another awesome video game. Wash, rinse , repeat as necessary.

Has anyone read thier May collectors club magezine and read the GIJoeCC interview with Jon Chu and Lorenzeo Di Bonabuttface?
I find one quote from DiBonnabuttface intriguing: GIJCC: It sounds very exciting and the previews we've seen look really impressive. In closing, if you could send out one message to the HARDCORE Gi Joe fans, what would it be? Lorenzo Di Bonnabuttface: The message would be that Jon made the movie they were HOPING for... WTF? WAY TO GO PARAMOUNT! i f'in swear someone goes out on the limb and even aknowledged by the biggest hater of all time of Gi Joe (DiBonnabuttface) and actually aknowledges Jon's awesome work just to THROW IT BACK in our faces as well as Jons by delaying it for the most assinine reason to put in in 3d? incredible... Ohhhhh that's minor. Its been a long time, but I remember an interview back during ROC (I tried looking for it but can't find it), a question was asked to Bonaventura if they would have Roadblock in the next movie. He said something like "Sure! I don't know who the heck he is, but his name sounds badass!". Fast forward three years later and we found out who is the star for the sequel..... |

Very simple...it needs people who aren't Morons running it. This is one of the THE MOST slamdunk brands and Hasbro can't figure out how to make it work?!
These Corporate stooges need to get out from behind their desks and get on some boards, go into stores, and start to listen. Forget the test groups-they don't work and much depends on your sample population/sample size, etc etc. You get one group it can go one way get another and you get something different. They need to hire some creative people to run that brand and then back the F up and get out of their way. This brand not working is about as dumbfounding as someone who looks at a cup full of water and has no idea how to drink it. Just mindless. |
