I have come to terms with Heavy Duty being included as part of the early cast, although for the record if Hasbro decided to rename him Roadblock I would probably crap myself with excitement.
I must admit I missed out on the relaunch in 1991, although still a fan at heart I was getting older and had just come to terms of no more GIJOE (as it had phazed out in Canada on the large scale by 1989). The Cartoon Movie to us fans north of the border was the closing of a marvelous childhood experience. No more GIJOE Cartoon after school, no more looking forward to getting the comic at the end of the month, no more GIJOE commercials on TV and no more GIJOE toys on the shelves in the stores - standing in the isles for hours looking at all the new figures that just came out, trying to pick and choose who I will be getting today and whom I will be leaving behind for tomorrow would no longer ever happen again - It all added up - I could no longer take part in this universe, it was left for dead. I am greatfull that they are making a movie, to me it is going to be the closing that I never had - I'm really not going to complain as I walk in the theatre with a bulge in my pants and exclaim that my life is now fulfilled. I cant wait any longer could they rush production? Hasbro promissed a classic tale so in turn I will accept this movie for whatever it is...170 Million Dollar budget, checked off as the main tent pole for Paramount Pictures 2009, the super incredible film crew they have already put together and not to forget Ray Park as Snake Eyes... Really guys what is there to complain about, they are indeed giving a helluva lot more then I ever thought they would. |
