I'm assuming you meant to say HASBRO 12" figs suck, because the stuff Sideshow is showing is pretty friggin' awesome, and puts these to shame.

Do kids buy 12 Inch joes?
You could argue that these are aimed at hardcore collectors who will buy anything with a G.I.Joe logo on it. However i can't help but think most people bothered with 12 inch Joes would rather buy something from Sideshow, even if it is much more expensive. Ever get the impression that Hasbro are just turning these out to keep 12 inch Joes (barely) alive? |

You guys can't be that clueless!!! Hasbro is making these look like ultimate shit so you'll spend your money on the Sideshow figures. It's all part of their marketing plan. Surely I'm not the only one that sees this. They show you exactly how horrible it could be, then they show you the highly detailed Sideshow line & there you go! The adult collectors spend $100 on the Sideshow & these crappy figures are good enough for the kids. It's WIN/WIN for Hasbro. You guys don't even need to waste your time complaining about these because that's exactly what's going on here.

I like them, but they should be 10 dlls, they would look better if the had more gear and a more military look.

The retro stuff they released a while back at wal mart flew off the shelves here. I think there is a 12 inch market but not the 80s joes.

The 12" figures sell in my area, they are replenished with newer figures/waves on pegs often. It has to be kids buying because most older joe fans like myself aren't really buying them. I bought Storm Shadow primarily because it was Storm Shadow, other than that, I haven't bought any. These figures would be much better and I would buy more if they:
A-had more clothing(not just say a pair of pants or a shirt) B-more accessories C-more articulation like on the super articulated joe bodies(the 12" joes that were boxed releases a few years back, same body the 12" Cairo Swordsman and German Officer from the Indy line use) |
