Now with gijoes new porpularity they should really try marketing the younger generation while getting their older fans as well.
with todays tecnology of action figure making. Animation ect. Make a new comic in traditonal theme with and all new action figures as seen in that display case (so awesome) .And relaunch a new subow cartoon not that crappy renegades stuff . This is what todays society is missing patriotism when gi joe died what replaced it ? power rangers really people c'mon ,ben ten,sponge bob. Most of armed forces come from young men joining because of gi joe ,sgt rock etc be a credit to your country !!!!! Bring back old joe for young and old In a old school meets new school kind of way. I am sorry but i find roc and retalliation to be a little lame as well . But a good start perhaps in a sense I know im just dreaming but wanted to get my thoughts out and i know all this has been said before but not by me !!!!!!!!! |

I agree G.I Joe is one of the few cartoons that felt "american" to me. Every action tune now has some sort of anime feel to it. I've never been a huge fan of anime I don't understand the stories and I don't like people standing their telling you how powerful they are.
Even with He-Man it felt close to home because it was based off sci fi and fantasy. The kids need some joe in their lives. Heroes without super powers who go to be Heroes by training hard and doing heroic deeds. |

And "patriotism" doesn't come from a toy line, cartoon, or comic. |

I also think even though this might sound silly to some G.I Joe broke alot of racial barriers. |

But neither of those things are unique to G.I. Joe or really have anything to do with the brand "rising up." The OP is basically talking about marketing the brand. The numero uno problem is that marketing costs money which Hasbro isn't willing to put into the brand until the brand is successful enough to justify it. |

I agree until G.I Joe see's the success of transformers we wont see any aggressive marketing for joe.
Retaliation's success should help turn things around but only time will tell |

We need Ultimate style figures of: Duke, Flint, Roadblock (..a Sunbow one, reuse Retaliation Rockblock's body parts but with fully articulated ankles please), Scarlet, Doc, Steeler, Lady Jaye, Quick Kick (..with fully articulated ankles & ankle pivots, this time around make him loo like he did in the cartoon), Snake Eyes (..the Ultimate Snake Eyes looks phenominal, Thanks again Hasbro), Captain Ace (..a Sunbow accurate one), Wild Bill, Cobra Commader (..coming later on this year, thank you Hasbro; I hope his medal mask is actual chrome), Destro, the Baroness, Storm Shadow (..also coming out later this year, Thank you Hasbro), and Major Bludd.
We could use another Sunbow-esq like cartoon! Don't put this cartoon on the HUB or Cartoon Network (..especially Cartoon Network; there is some funny business going on over there, no more Star Wars Clone Wars, No more Young Justice, Green Lantern. All these cartoons have been replaced with crap cartoons). Habsro, we could use a updated: Skystriker (..a new body molded after some modern jet fighter plane, a two seater), a new Dragonfly (..a two seater), a bigger mauler (..look to the 1/18 Elite Force tank for inspiration), a revamped Silver Mirage! |

They could start by hanging more than 3 pegs of Joes. An endcap or bigass display at TRU would be nice too.

No one's denying any of that, I don't think?

The numero uno problem is that marketing costs money which Hasbro isn't willing to put into the brand until the brand is successful enough to justify it. With a comic cartoon style add on prime TV then A great action figure line and then a cartoon The action figure had intense curb appeal These generic carded retaliation figures do Nothing. Reintroduce them the original 13 figures And same play sets update them some what To a more modern concept. And if it don't work swallow The loss and then sell to Disney so they can kill It dead completly or bring new life . |
