Ah, "turd", "shit", "crap".. I thought movie threads were looking a little more balanced lately. Nice to see things returning to the good ol' days.

People can say what they want about it being for kids but as I remember it, I loved the 1982 - 1985 when I WAS A KID!
Never mind, once the movie has come and gone all these items will probably be repackaged with the "Resolute" logo on the box and they'll suddenly be more desirable.

The PITT looks like something hillbillies would build. "Y'all see the new Joe thingy we built. It be called the Pitt. Complete with Damage Utility Control Tool Tactical Application Pliable Element - (DUCT TAPE)".
That's ugly.

It is.
Period. They built stuff on top of it, but that's a Rolling Thunder chassis. Now, to all of us disappointed fans - SUCK IT UP! These are kids toys! I also would've loved a building with a command center, a brig, and a barracks. But guess what. Kids would be bored out of their minds! We had the Rolling Thunder and the MCC when we were kids, why shouldn't kids now get a PIT that looks like this? Same goes for the Night Raven. Yeah, it's different from what we had. But it's still a cool jet for kids. Calling it a Night Raven means selling it to a few rabid collectors who have to have the new interpretation of their old toy. If it was the MARS Interceptor, they'd have sold fewer. This is a brilliant marketing move and I'm sorry to anyone who thinks they're getting ripped off, but... these toys are for the kids. Someone in another thread mentioned a kid 25 years from now being psyched to remember the first time he opened his Night Raven and fired the missiles and activated the sounds and he's right. That's what this is about. If you don't like the new designs, leave the toys at the store for the kids. If you do, more's the better. |

Uh yeah, the collectors are the ones buying up the figures, not the kids...get real! Now the pegs are filled with joes at walmart and no "kid" is buying them....just like the fate of the movie stuff will be when released...overproduced shelf warmers I guess were all 5 year olds, because we want the classic stuff that sells? and will sell because us grown ups supporting it...kids dont want action figures these days...they want video games, so the delusion that kids will be buying these isnt gonna happen G.I.Joe-Rise of the Pegwarmers |

No! To be a REAL joe fan one must be a hardcore fanboi collector who becomes offended the moment another collector makes any dissparaging comments about any given joe product. It is your fundamental need to defend any and all joe product, including low quality, rehashed, junk. It must be solid gold if it has the name GIJoe on.

The injustice of it all to me is that they took the license from DDP and then made all the characters in the movie with battlesuits look like Wraith....

"Offensive"... Now there's a word that springs to mind in relation to toys...:( But you're not a kid now, so I'm not sure what you're saying. Today's kids will only like GI JOE if it's styled after what we liked as kids? Never mind, once the movie has come and gone all these items will probably be repackaged with the "Resolute" logo on the box and they'll suddenly be more desirable. |

Because, if they weren't all wearing wraith robo suits they wouldn't be "modernized" to suit contemporary science fiction movie standards. Seriously dude, get with the program.
