I chose them as the Joetailer of the year!!!
I know, and agree with your post. Hasbro and Paramount f'ed up the toyline by making a shitty movie, then putting it on hiatus to grow it into a well formed turd. What really pisses me off was when they did re-release the toys after the movie hiatus, they put out wave 1 again. Those toys did not sell for 9 months. What made them think they were going to sell after the movie came out. They should have put out the next wave. I think I got lucky in that I did buy wave 3 ret. figs (CG, white/blue camo shock troopers/ Ult. SE) at a Walmart one time. That is the only time I found that wave at a place other than a discount store. I also got lucky in that 5 below had wave 4, and Tuesday Morning had wave 3, and we have both stores in this area. I remember burning up gas hunting for figures at those stores. It was stupid, but fun as hell. Hopefully, Hasbro has learned their lesson and gets their distribution right with the next movie toy line. There are Fans that want product. Get it to them!!! |

I dont know if it was exactly Hasbro's fault, seemed more like Paramount essentially screwed them over by last minute pulling the movie and delaying it almost 9 months to add 3D in. Most of the toys were in production and already being shipped to distribution at the time the movie got delayed it was too late, the toys were on the way and ordered.
Manny child's are clueless about the characters until they see the movie...

I remember when they first hit shelves my younger brother and I were like: "So, the movie is all about the Arashikage? Who is Mouse?(he looks cool though), what happened to the Joe eagle? etc. Then all of a sudden the merch was pulled from the stores and we were left wondering what happened. Then later merch started showing up sporadically at different stores. Very confusing!

Yep, not everybody is an avid collector and knows about the story of the brand...

I still don't buy the 3D conversion bit... I think the movie was an absolute mess and was nowhere near acceptable for release. Even after the delay you could tell the movie was choppy. Not once did they explain why Snake Eyes was such a little bitch towards Jinx, or why Colton called Lady Jaye "Brenda." Red herring much?

The extended Blu-Ray is indeed a better cut of the movie.
