Are you G.I. Joe’s beeyotch?
The majority of us here on the ‘Tank grew up with the toys, cartoon and/or comics. These days Hasbro seems to be more of an entertainment company instead of a toy company. Hasbro definitely doesn’t know what to do with the G.I. Joe brand. Instead of giving us what we want, TOYS, they license out the brand to every and any company that’ll pay Hasbro. Anyway, after the reveal of Jazwares Domez the other day, I was wondering... Do you buy “EVERYTHING” with the G.I. Joe name on it?

Absolutely not.
GI Joe is becoming a joke...Again. Retro sucks, classified is a hit or miss, marketing? Danger zone. The last hope I’m holding onto is a revamped classified line and Mezco. Edit: also holding on hope the Snake Eyes Origins Figure line is awesome. To hell with the rest of it. Although I did think Hasbro moving Snake Eyes into Fortnite was a great marketing strategy.

No.
1. Can't afford to be. 2. Never find the stuff if I could. 3. Couldn't display or store it either. |

Nah, I am pretty set in my ways - love the vintage ARAH line, cherry picking from everything else - new sculpt, 25th, ME and so far only purchased a HISS from retro. I don't dive into all aspects of the brand.

No. But if someone embraced the Zarana & Zandar characters as twins, I'd be buying a lot more.

Nah. Gave away almost all of my ARAH and have rebuilt my collection (as much as I can) with 25th/RoC/PoC/30th/FSS etc. Don't need any other goods, let alone a new scale...
My eyes roll back in my head every time I see a "news" feed that yet another non-action figure Joe product is being released. I wish Hasbro would put some of the royalty/license income back into development for the 4" line. |

No, however, it's the Classified that got back into getting joes again and I am looking to sell all my ARAH figures & vehicles. I much prefer 6" figures now.

No bedsheets, lunch boxes, mini figures, statues, not even 6 inch. Just 4 inch figures that are modern updates to the ARAH characters that I grew up with. |

No. I'm a 4" ME Joe collector. I will get non-4" Joe stuff if it can be used in a Dio. I got the Jada Joes to use as a trophy for 4" Joes. I got the world smallest Joes to use as a prop for 4" Joes.
Domez, and pops can go to someone else.
