Scarlett would get the wrong kind of love if she was someone's redheaded stepdaughter.

This is the point so many have a hard time understanding. Of course, the Disney licenses will get priority. That's just common sense. Transformers will as well, because, media tie-ins aside, that's Hasbro's own license to print money. Joe's low man on the totem, despite the HasLab success.

The fact that it's still on shelves at all is a testament to both Hasbro's commitment to keeping it on shelves in some form and the endurance of the brand, but the typical pattern for GI Joe has repeated multiple times now: A new "launch" happens, much hoopla, collectors go nuts trying to get the figures. It looks like a smash success. Supply starts to meet and then exceed demand...pegwarmers start lingering. For a few years we get a lot of product, most of it good, but it peters out before we get "everything" and then the brand goes on Hiatus again "until the next movie" or the next relaunch or whatever. It's very much a "flash in the pan" brand when it's on retailer shelves. Does real well until collectors get their fill and then withers on the vine. Doesn't help that every collector has their own personal "cut off point" that they no longer care about modern remakes of certain characters (Save for those relative few that genuinely DO "want it all.") So the longer the line goes...the worse it does in terms of pegwarming and such...unless it manages to start finding a genuinely NEW audience and not just the same batch of loyal collectors coming back each cycle. On a separate side note, Hasbro's relationship with Lucasfilm and the Star Wars License is freaking WEIRD. Like they seemed to get an all-access pass for Kenobi because that stuff was getting revealed as the show was airing, but it seems like Lucasfilm never wants to keep them in the loop where the Mandalorian is concerned because they're too freaked out about "leaks." Or maybe they'll have some current-season stuff for "Mando Mania" by the end of the season. I kinda doubt it though as it looks like it's mostly "Book of Boba Fett" leftovers they're up to now.

But yeah, it NEEDS a tie-in. Hasbro / Paramount needs to give up live action movies and make a streaming series. That's where it could really pay off and become a big cultural hit again. Do it right - based on the comic, mixed with influences from the cartoon... keep it serious, but a tongue-in-cheek self awareness about it. (think Guardians of the Galaxy or Deadpool) |

Way off topic, but with next year being G.I.Joe's 60th anniversary. I hope they make a few of the classic original Joes in the Classified line, complete with the same style of box and artwork as the originals.

How is that off-topic? Would be a proper homage if Hasbro has or could get permission to the rights.

It didn't involve horses.

All horses or just the over-priced, over-packaged, over-sized, over-delayed variety? In the wrong shade of brown, of course. With composite wedge horseshoes instead of the original steel-rimmed horseshoes? And a tail that sways to the right a centimetre more than the original, which swayed to the left first and then to the right? Or the Ultimate Horse that only comes with ... I'll be good now.

They were first, after all.
That's a great idea.
