My Rant
Hello and welcome to my rant\thread, this rant\thread is being dedicated to all of you who were let down by Hasbro! I say let down because I have seen all of your great collections and almost all firsthand (because of all those great picks you guys supplied). And to now see the shame Hasbro has bestowed upon us as adult collectors I mean we already get a lot of shit from family and friends about this craft of ours and now Hasbro went and did this, they have released the most god-awful toy line I have ever laid my eyes on! This movie has been frowned upon by most and anticipated by few but now seeing this toy line that it has given us I am ashamed to be a toy collector (G.I. Joe Collector that is)… I cannot believe Hasbro has let you and me down in such a way! I will not buy a single figure from this line, I mean who do they think they are not being aware of the fact that in most states and in most towns we have been “you and me” fellow tankers buying their 25th and ARAH line by the case loads I have seen your basements I have seen your PC rooms I have seen your attic shots (and your downstairs mix-up!!!) showing me into your colleting hopes and dreams hoping these toys would keep coming out. Well they went and done it to hell with them I say! Yea I will buy a 7 pack I will buy 25th BATS I will buy old toy stock… But I am not going to buy this line, this piece of crap Movie line from HELL??? Join with me in this revolution agents HASBRO and let them (them being Hasbro) drown in their own shame of this line! Especially If they are not smart enough to know it has not been little Jimmy supporting G.I. Joe then frackem, I mean this movie trailer didn’t even appeal to my kids. Owe and JAX I am sorry in advance…

Seriously? This rant is a joke. Hasbro gave us 14 brand new figures. 14 new figures in a line that was supposed to be 25 figures. If you don't like the movie toys, fine. I don't either. Don't buy them, I won't. You are not the target audience.
I will not insult Hasbro for doing a movie line though. It's a major summer movie. What film hasn't had a toyline to correspond with it? Hasbro is not going to give up the license to GI Joe so they can focus on the modern 25th. Especially when the opportunity to garner a whole new customer base has presented itself. I find your post to be incredibly selfish. Hasbro could have scrapped the line all together. They did not. BTW, is this your first year collecting? NYC Toy Fair is the first major con of the year. We still have Joecon and Comicon. Each of these always feature new product. Sorry you're unhappy. I'm very happy and applaud Hasbro for their efforts to try and please a group that seems to never be pleased.

I like most of the figures. The PIT SUCKS and I know most of you agree. The vehicles are cool, but I prefer the vintage. I expected to see more vintage vehicles and figures but I didn't . So that sucks. Overall I'm OK. Marvel figs will keep me busy.

I have no clue what your ranting about. It seem to me Hasbro listens to it's customer base very well.

Wow...was that a "Fan Rant" or a Fan Boy Rant? Sorry that the Movie line doesn't conform to what your imagination's eye refers to as the "Real G.I.Joe". If you want 80's toys, go hit eBay. If you want classic updates, buy the 25th/Modern line. Other than that, here's an idea: stop wasting our time with the "WAH! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FIGURE AGAIN!" because we BOTH know that you'll have 3 of each. Let this thread be a lesson to others that this kind of nonsense is pure stupid on a stick. Want to share your thoughts? Do so in a manner that doesn't make you look like the target demographic of movie toys.

if the movie line weeds out all the irrational, man-babies like this from Hisstank I think it will be the greatest toyline ever.
I eagerly dream of a world where toy collectors can accept a toyline that is, gasp, aimed at children (novel concept - toys for children) without taking it as a personal affront to them and able to accept its existence without whining and crying about it. of course, that world would have to be pre-dated by a species of toy collectors with intelligence levels higher than 1st graders -- that will be the difficult part. even 1st graders can look at a toy they don't like and simply walk away from it without thinking they are owed a better toy from the maker. I'm not particularly interested in the movie toys, but there isn't a single item I saw today that I didn't think kicked ass as a toy (except Breaker, still). |
