What is this? Is this FunPub's replacement? Is a GI Joe Club still going to exist, just under new management?
Just an uneducated guess. |

isn't this the same company that continually teases amazing figures, but rarely brings them to market?
seems like a good idea, if pcs needed seed money to make things happen. or disappoint. |

Oh...okay, so these are only statues. Like those busts that they make? Not figures. Never mind. Pass!

I know there are a million partial answers to this question, so I'm posing it mostly rhetorically, but if there's a market for statues, and bobble heads, and busts, and kreo figures, and combat heroes kiddie figures, why is it so hard to make actual action figures? How come the GI Joe brand is producing every kind of toy except the ones I want?

I think it's a niche market. They don't need to move 3 million statues to profit the way Hasbro does with action figures. They can sell a limited number and that limit increases their value.

I checked out a few sites like Time, Newsweek, Forbes, CNBC and Amazon's most wished for. Here some of the top toys that appeared on most of those lists. L.O.L Fingerlings R2D2 droid builder Tyler the Tiger Nintendo Switch Paw Patrol tower Nerf guns Hasbro is playing it smart by licensing the property and keeping it alive that way until they can find a way to revitalize the concept which will probably be in Spring of 2020.
