Actually, it's the 35-50 year old fans who refuse to believe that there is still a significant kids toy buying market and continue to repeat cliches that first and third person shooter video games have stolen the entire market.
And 35-50 year olds who confuse the fact that because RAH's relevance is extinct with new consumers that there is not a new version of G.I. Joe that could be. Sorry, the 35-50 year olds are who are irrelevant to the future of G.I. Joe, not the millions of children in the toy buying range that Hasbro knows they need to reach for Joe to be relevant again. |

All I know (and it's actually more a suspicion/something I've inferred from my son and his friends than it is knowledge) is that the age of boys into action figures is a lot lower now than it was in the eighties. It feels like any new iteration of G.I. Joe will have to be more "Playskool" and less real-ass, hyper-articulated and fiddly. And that means we, as adults full of a weird mixture of nostalgia and grown-up sensibilities, most likely won't like it. But that's ok. I'm sure 12"-ers didn't much like Super Joe or ARAH, just has there was pushback from us when Joe lost his o-ring and with Sigma 6. Stuff has to change to fit the times. Evolve or die.

Imo i am fine with a somewhat different approach to Joe. What frustrates me is Hasbro's seemingly lazy attitude to a once defining toy line and saying "we will wait for a movie" and joes not having a presence on Hasbro.com except for exclusives once a year while there are lines on there that I havent even heard of. And there are toys in Tru collecting dust for a decade.

I'd rather have a single yearly SDCC/HasCon exclusive than buying another Snake Eyes/Duke/Cobra Commander in retail every single year.

I'm the opposite. I'd much rather have figures in retail so that I can get custom fodder and not have to worry about shelling out $30+ just for something I might customize.

I saw all the Hascon stuff went up at Hasbrotoyshop, but no sign of the Missile Command HQ.
