I won't do it. As long as the stupid guns are in addition to, not instead of normal guns, I'm ok with it. The ones that are permanently attached to vehicles I have less patience for. But the ones with figs help attract kids that like shooty things and that's fine with me. I can just shoot my cat a few times till she eats the missle then toss the shooter or use it for making 40k terrain...

So let me get this strait...your asking Hasbro to make you a character named "Butt-plug"? Is that a cross between a dreadnok and a Sea Slug?

At least so far it doesn't seem that they have any of the crap that they put into a few years worth of Star Wars stuff. Those 'action features' really sucked. At least with the movie figures, those monster guns are not the only weapons that they come with. Seems like they have a balance between Big Ass Gun and Normal Reasonable Size Gun.
(so many Star Wars figures were ruined with 'squeeze legs for slashing action') |

either storm Hasbro headquarters with an arsenal of weapons and slaughter the entire Joe Brand Management team to make an example of what the adult Joe collector will and will not tolerate for future Brand Managers to see, or we're simply wasting time.
maybe stop by a few of their houses and send their families off to the ever-after with them. either the weapons are that much of an atrocity and warrant that kind of reaction, or they're fine. no middle ground in this one. |

Or we can go the route of buying thier controlling stock and own the company and dictate how we feel it should be done. If we suceed then we become massivley rich or if we fail we destroy the line.
Kinda like Double Dare with Marc Summers |

Are people seriously that angry about these spring-loaded weapons? I admit that they have no place in an adult collector's display but I'm sure there will be a large percentage of kids that will enjoy them. Companies like Hasbro try to do as much market research as possible to see what will move their toys - and per one of their recent toy related threads they said the kids like the big rocket-launching guns. All the big guns are getting boxed up and set aside at my house, but if they help move more Joe figures and keep the line around longer, I'm happy.

Funny thing is all those Yugeohoi toys, and WWF figures and Ben 10 action figures and even the transformers do not come with oddly oversized "weapons actually shoot!". Think Hasbro is upset with all the times they had to label thier toys as "weapons do not shoot" after all those years. If they did any surveying they must have asked Billy when Cobra Commander was in another room...
What ever happend to beebee guns and Nerf weapons? If kids wanna shoot each other get a real paint ball semi-auto shotgun! |
