Per Hasbro the cheaper 4" modern figures only sold so/so. Why would they gamble on a larger, more expensive line?

This list is awesome!!! Now throw in a few small vehicles like they did with Star Wars black ( speeder bikes, land speeder ) and some playsets ( Wompa, Taun Taun, Jabba with throne) I mean come on they did a freaking Tie fighter for cripes sake!!!! I would love to see the following vehicles
R.A.M Snake Armor V.A.M.P Trouble Bubble Claw glider To name a few. The figure lists in this thread for waves of 6" figs are very hopeful. If Hasbro tried GI Joe at this scale it would probably be limited to three waves for the year tops, maybe add a 2-pack (like Tomax & Xamot) as a store exclusive. It might also help if they were marketed the same way as Marvel Legends where each wave has a theme. Also include a BAF in each wave to encourage sales of less popular characters (Snake Eyes would have Timber instead of a BAF piece). I used to think vehicles were too important in GI Joe for a 6" line, but have reconsidered that stance. Figures could still sell without them, but some small ones would be good. Maybe do BAV (build-a-vehicle) pieces with figures as a gimmick for the line, that could work for S.N.A.K.E. armor, Trouble Bubbles and C.L.A.W. gliders, maybe the motorcycles and Ferret. Despite the repaint possibilities, I doubt they would do something as large as the V.A.M.P. unless the line really took off. |

If they did a BAF, the Fatal Fluffies would be high on my list.

Because G.I. Joe does not sell as well as Marvel or Star Wars. Not even close.
People waited until the Tomahawk, Skystriker, and even figures went on clearance before buying them to save money. They'd do the exact same thing for a 6 inch joe line and it would last all of one to two waves. Joe fans come in two varieties: 1) the ones who will pay any price to get something they want and buy what the club puts out and what hasbro puts out 2) the much larger group that waits for clearance and then only cherrypicks. And both groups are fractions of the fanbases that support th lines that do exist. |

Everyone is way over thinking this.
G.I.Joe should just be worked into the Marvel Legends line. |

I completely agree. I have thought this since the days of Toybiz and figured it was a no brainer when Hasbro took over the line. Wasted opportunity.

Yeah, when I saw the new Vulture from the upcoming SpiderMan movie, I was thinking that was perfect jet pack General Hawk material. I wouldn't mind the Joes joining Marvel Legends, as long as they don't over do it by releasing the whole Joe line and only stick to only a few main characters.
