Hasbro will do whatever makes them the most money!
1) All this speculation, people need to be patient. Hasbro did a good job with the modern era line thus far and were smart to shelve it. The fact that a $150,000,000 movie takes precedent is an obvious given here. 2) The fact that they are doing the 7 packs are because they already spent the money in tooling, and just like the two initial 5 packs that came out in summer 2007 I think these will fly off the shelves and make hasbro money. 3) The fact that Hasbro made a 3 movie deal for GI joe means if its successful then the movie style will be here to stay, if the first one is a success. 4) I am with you guys, even though I am not buying resolute, I think they are cool and a good direction for the future of the franchise...finally! If the cartoon does well, maybe they will get it on adult swim. 5)None of this isn't anything you guys don't know but it amazes me the lack of patience on this board. I mean I just bought one of each of the single carded figures just because Hasbro finally hit a home run with vintage styling, and that set me back probably $800-1000, some of you guys spend $1000's on these I would think it would be nice to have a nice break especially with the recession going on. Anyway I like hearing the speculation because its interesting and there are a lot of good points to be brought up, though I laugh when people get all emotional over toys.... Question for you guys, if this line did end with the 7 packs would you really be that unhappy?... I mean they did do most of the iconic figures. Yes a few were missed out, but think of how many they actually accomplished and how many looked amazing. I could use a couple less Dukes, and CC's but other than that not bad! |

yeah i gotta say i would be and AM upset...while yes lots of iconic characters were done and some goofy ones left out( raptor, crystal ball my personal guilty pleasure, sneak peek, ice cream soldier etc) there were some more cool ones like nightviper, fastdraw, spearhead n max, jinx, law n order lowlight and sci-fi to name a few that DEFINTELY needed a modern era figure.

QFT! When justice is served, we can all sleep in peace, knowing that finally, truly, Hasbro did what should have been done decades ago... Until that time, I refuse to buy any GI Joe toys besides the ME and Movie lines, oh, and Resolute... but that's all!!! (unless they come out with something else cool...) I will not budge... okay, maybe just a little...

I'm an adult now and as such I have buying power. I can spend a lot of money buying the things I want. So if want to buy all the gi joe collection I could. It will take me some time but I could do it it. My point is that if cashbro is too blind to see or too stupid to understand that the collectors have the buying power and determination to keep buying from a long time, then screw them I wont buy $#@ from this suckers and will find something else to spend my hard earn money. I came back to collecting because the new line caught my atention; immediatly bringing back memories of my happy days as a kid. Casbro if you read this threads know that we can very easily buy other stuff or dont buy anything at all. Just keep those 25th ann figures coming and resolute websoides too and figures.

What I found interesting was in the previous Q&As, Hasbro seemed quite certain that "classic" product would be coming in 2010. The most recent Q&As seemed to be a little more circumspect in that regard.
This leads me to a theory: That there's some sort of animated series or other post-movie media tie-in that's cropped up into the mix. Whether an expansion of "Resolute" or (more likely) a new "all-ages" animated show, and Hasbro is now having to weigh the options between Classic, Movie, and new tie-in material. Just a theory, but it seems like it could be quite likely, and would explain the sudden shift in tone pretty well. Quote:
I agree. There's no doubt that if the movie is successful a cartoon will be coming, of which the major focus of the toys will be to support that. that doesn't mean classics will not be reintroduced along side them, just that fans should not expect that they will be the main focus of Hasbro's eye.
that's why Hasbro hasn't come right out and made a definitive statement -- they can't. things may change between now and then. Maybe the movie will bomb, nobody will want a cartoon, and Hasbro will have to reintroduce the classics as the main line until they come up with their next media endeavor. I think one of the reasons Resolute may be postponed is that they're re-calibrating it to include kids, by softening it a little bit. I can see them spending the money on a kids cartoon versus a cartoon aimed at adults, as much as I want it. I would rather get Resolute PG-ed down a tad so that kids are the target audience, instead of not getting it at all. I mean, they could run Resolute geared to adults, and a kiddier version like TF: Animated, but I don't see them wasting the efforts to run 2 simultaneously. I'm hoping the kids' cartoon is closer to Resolute than some goofy square-chinned, big-superhero-gloved comic-relief cartoon, but in the end, if it's for kids, it's for kids. I believe that they should be the target audience for the main line, as much as I love the revival classic stuff. It's silly to think otherwise that a toy company wouldn't target kids to try and breathe more life into their sales. I could be completely wrong, but if Hasbro doesn't have a kids' cartoon to coincide with the movie, I think they're missing out on an opportunity to branch out more to kids and sell toys, toys, toys. |
