Interesting thread...I used to use my Joes with Fisher Price Adventure People playsets.

This is similar to something I was thinking about. Superheroes RULE the toy aisle right now. I think a good way to keep Joe in the aisle would be
Bullet Man & The Adventure Team. There are ALL KINDS of placed to take that line and with a small G.I.Joe logo somewhere on the package, there's no reason Hasbro couldn't throw in a few of our beloved ARAH characters in every wave. If it saved the line and brought vehicles back, I'd be willing to deal with the change.

There is enough things happening around the Globe to keep the Joes, busy. Cobra could stay in the background and help arm these factions /splinter groups with their weapons and hardware. But it doesnt all have to be current Cobra Hardware, but a take on it. tHE jOES COULD FIGHT
1. Drug Lords in South America/ Smugglers/ANYWHERE 2. Rogue Super Heroes , or Transformers 3. A US Black Ops Shadow government which has its own agenda and uses stolen alien tech to topple governments 4. How about the B.A.T.S are made self aware with the help of the Decepticons, Not so much Terminator style, but they do wish to rid the earth or enslave the humans and defeat the AUTOBOTS

Anyone who knows me knows I would love an Adventure Team approach, but I think it'd be more viable utilizing big, clunky figures like Rescue Heroes, 'cause I think that's the market for such an approach, much as I'd prefer Pursuit of Cobra styling.
I was thinking last night, it's a shame Kwinn is finally available, only to appear on the ugliest, blandest Joe card ever; it'd be cool if Hasbro threw the figures into an attractive but identical package, and then had a link to online content that opens up Hama-esque dossiers and stories and those old Live the Adventure contests and such. Maybe a game, too. |

I actually expect to see Joe - Transformers integration in a Transformers non-movie year once both lines are on parallel success stories... or lack thereof

I completely agree with the first post. I'm all for the Adventure Team type make-over, doesn't need to be the entire line, perhaps just a side-team.
My Joes only ever fought Cobra re-creating (and expanding upon) battles from the Marvel comics, otherwise they would be doing real things. Wars, battles, etc., were about 50% of that e.g. the Falklands War, SAS Iranian Embassy, Iraq war, South American counter-insurgency), but adventure and exploration made up the other half e.g. almost everything home-made (which is a lot of the fun when playing with things that do something - I'm a a Mechanical Engineer): parachuting, gliders, working rockets and ejection seats, desert/jungle/Arctic exploration, space, and working submarines/submersibles. Some additional vehicles, ideally working/motorised in some form, would be great. Bring it on! |
