Kids do buy the 25th Anniversary Joes, no matter what many may think. 50% of my figures sales of Joes and nearly 80% of my HALO sales are to kids under twelve. Star Wars is the same as HALO for sales. Surprising?
Now you know why they put a Snake-Eyes in every case. Kids want ninjas,kids buy ninjas,Hasbro says give'em ninjas! |

Everyone loves a good megalomaniac too.
Ninjas may be great and swell, but they do still make up a very small fraction of Joes, a military toy line. In the least its time to give Snake eyes and Storm Shadow some leave and let the other ninjas do something. I bet half the Night Creepers can't even break boards anymore they're so outta shape. |

a lot of companies charge you a fee to do business with them. I also owned a shop until about 2 years ago. Now I only deal online. Wizards of the Coast which is owned by Hasbro will only give out certain products or tournaments to stores that meet financial requirements. Needless to say, it makes it difficult sometimes, but thats business.

Good read, but I have to point out that GI Joe is an in house property. You said Licensing effects Joe, it does not. Going by the rest of the post I assume it's a typo.
