Come one, none of those franmchises have the same amount of merchandising as transformers did. If Habro plans to do the same type of merchandising for both Transformers and GI Joe, then both lines will end up eating each other.

I wanna see the Baroness' image on birthday party merchandise. So I can eat cake off of her.
Plush Cover Girl would be cool. Especially if it came with a programmable voice chip. You can make her say stuff like "Wanna see me touch my toes?" or "My shirt's dirty. Can I wash it in your sink?" I'm gonna stock my workspace with GI Joe school supplies LOL I wanna be able to walk into Hot Topic and buy a Cobra Commander hood or a Destro Mask. 80's style, even if their movie versions don't have the classic look. |

No they won't. They are made by the same company but are two completely different lines. Any time there is a movie, there is money to be made, I doubt Hasbro is going to cut them shelves short. Iron man may not seem like it has a lot of stuff but its a line of 6" figures comprised primarily of the same character but different variations. You still see figures in multiple formats, role playing gear, gift merchandise, et al. Transformers was different, because it had way more characters. Gijoe will be the same way. They know there are a lot of fans for both that might not like the other property, they aren't going to just shaft joe collectors so transformers fans can have their fun. If there is money to be made, they will make it. Iron Man's toy line didn't stop Hulk's toyline from coming out, both still have future waves remaining as the year progresses, as well as the Marvel Legends line and maybe the 3-3/4" Marvel line, in addition to another Hulk line, only comic based. Indiana Jones has a ton of merchandising, look at the selection of toys on shelf, its in abundance.
It's simple economics Shin.

Im thinking this will be about as big as Indy is, with snake eyes role play stuff and vehicles, figures of different scales playsets, maybe board games. A SNAKE EYES POTATO HEAD! I think at the most we will see 3 foot sections per store.
this wont be as big as transformers was. But hey, I hope im wrong! |

I hope it's big. But there is no way this movie will be as big as Transformers, Indiana Jones, Batman, Hulk, or even Iron Man. Those properties had either huge followings, named actors, large budgets, and years of comics. GI Joe hasn't had this much cache in pop culture since the 80s.
Transformers, on the other hand, continued with popular TV shows and toys that always had more space in the toy aisle. Indiana Jones has been anticipated for several years with a popular and well-loved character and actor. Batman is cultural icon. Hulk has maintained a larger presence than GI Joe. And say what you will about the last movie, it still made something like $300 million or more worldwide. Iron Man . . . actually baffles me. He isn't that famous a character but I think the movie stood on its own merits. And a lot of people were rooting for Robert Downey. Even then, his toys seem to have come and gone in the toy aisle. I just don't think GI Joe will have anything near as much as Indiana Jones.

I hope it will be as big as Transformers. I want to see G.I.Joe fandom rising up once again. A lot of adults tend to be nostalgic folks so when they see the Joe movie at the theather they will surely buy stuff from it.
