I've supported almost every other iteration of GI Joe so far, including Kre-o & Sigma Six, but I just don't think I have it in me anymore. If I want something more detailed than a 3 & 3/4" figure, I'll give my money to sideshow. I might buy one on occasion if it's a character/design I really enjoy, but I would not be a completest as I have been with other lines.

Definitely not.
Too much money already invested into the 4 inch line, plus there would be little to no vehicle support for a six inch line. On top of that there are a ton of characters, and that would be a very costly line to complete. Not my bag baby. |

I voted 100% yes. The tooling for the bodies is already produced if they use Marvel Legends as the base and I always wanted to see what could be done in the 6" Scale. After looking at what's going on with Star Wars 6" Black Series I think Hasbro is missing out on a huge opportunity to pull blood from stone.
Hasbro has it's hands full trying to figure out what is next for the G.I. Joe Brand. If you follow Hasbro the way we do, you would know that the focus is on emerging markets. Sales in the United States are expected to be flat for even the Transformers Brand. For the most part G.I. Joe is not a global brand that can be easily marketed to China. With all the cost cutting going on you would think they would jump at a chance to use those Marvel Legends molds over and over again for G.I. Joe.

I can only see a few scenarios where I wouldn't. If it is ARAH based and has a variety of my favorite characters, then it would be hard for me to pass up. I love ARAH, 25th and modern era, KRE-O, and Sideshow because of their connections to the original.
If it was some new style, not ARAH based, It would have to be absolutely awesome designs to drag me in. It would also need to be affordable, with many good detailed paint applications, lots of appropriate/useful gear, and stands that would hold the figure securely. All weapons need to be able to be held by the appropriate figures without falling out of their hans if you breath on them. at one point i didn't like the idea because they need to be smaller to fit in the vehicles, but now i think id appreciate a line where you don't need any vehicles because vehicles take up a lot of space.

Yep, but I might be picky... ESPECIALLY if Hasbro pulls the ol' cheap repaint/Frankenjoe trick like they did so often in the 25th line. I'm fine with it when the original figure was like that (e.g. much of the O13), but otherwise, no, especially for a "Premium" line.

Just a quick question? Do you collect the G.I. Joe Club figures?

I've vested too much money, time, space and relationship issues to go all out with a 6 inch line. If the philosophy is to hook in new age brackets then hopefully that plan works.....I don't see hardcore collectors jumping ship on 3 3/4 to a new line and build. I can live with the FSS figs and our rare figs. Even if Joes does go away I'm happy, I have just about everything produced since 2007, and that is a ton of stuff

If it was treated like the Hall of Heroes, with only primary characters.
A 6 inch Firefly would rule! |
