OP I think your talking economics of the brand so I will answer with this. No, but it's not the money maker that I used to be for Hasbro. With out a cartoon to support it kids have found interest elsewhere. The recent Gi Joe movie helped but without knowing Hasbro's profit data how much it helped the brand would be speculation. Distribution problems and the brand being hard to find at retail have also not been beneficial either. |

I don't think its bad, but like wrw311 said poorly managed. Much like most things nowadays, its about the bottom-line and making a profit, customer satisfaction is optional.

They need another animation run, continuing off the two most recent series Resolute & Renegades, just need to expand the troop beyond the core 5-6 Joes.
