It's just hard to draw comparisons. Hostess has been in bankruptcy for the last decade and came out of it more in debt than when it entered. When it came to an agreement during bankruptcy, it came up with a list of objectives to make itself profitable again. In 2 years, they did nothing and its management group just manipulated assets that led to its downfall.
Hasbro hasn't done this and is in the forefront of its industry. |

Alright laying all logistics to the side (Hasbro being not in the hole,etc) would u still buy them if they were sold to a lower company and that company used a lesser plastic like corps, less weapons or big weapons like true heroes, and the paints aps sucked like the jazzware 4 in line. People with nothing nice to add besides "this post suck" need not apply and if u don't like the thread please refrain cause I could care less. Thanks for cooperating :-)

As for your question, no I wouldn't buy Joes if Hasbro went the way of Hostess. Figures already cost $10 a pop, to pay that much for inferior product, no thank you.

I can almost imagine the GIJoe packaging with an ATeam figure...God please no, I'd rather see the Joe line dead leaving memorable top quality made figures than sink on its own crap, trying hard with low quality made figures.

I know that this is a hypothetical question, but it requires so much imagination on my part that I cannot even conceive of it. I mean, if Hasbro were largely an American produced toy company, then sure. But I cannot even pretend that Chinese employees could refuse to go to work and manage to shut down their manufacturing plants to the point that Hasbro had to close and sell, (like Hostess did).
I imagine the end of such of workers strike in China would look more like something from a Red Dawn movie. |

1. No trolling, or flaming.
Any form of personal insult is a no-no. As a basic rule of thumb: if you think that what you are about to post is insulting, don't post it. No posting with the intent of starting "Drama". If you feel the need to start trouble, go elsewhere.

If Hasbro sunk their own battleship by selling to an inferior toy maker and they started putting out crap toys, I would just go back to collecting vintage only.
