Over the last 20 years, if it didn't "feel" like ARAH Joe to me, I ignored it, and I know I wasn't alone.
I think when the last of Gen X-ers stop spending money on the brand, the brand dies.
How many 1960s collectors are still out there buying stuff? And more importantly, how many young people have latched on to 1960s Joes and collect them in their place? If the answer is "none"....then 12 inch Joes are gonna be worthless in about 20 years. The ones that haven't decayed may go to toy museums or something.
The older half of millennials (now in their mid 30s), plenty of them love GI Joe. GI Joe isn't dying out with Gen X.
I disagree with a bunch of other stuff you said... but it isn't worth getting into. At least I know where you're coming from when I see your comments in the future.
