All valid points! The passion for the brand on the ' tank is unending. The point I want you to think about is, if the kids don't see joes on the shelf, they will not care.
Now, I will concede the movie lines. The issue with reissued toys, what has Hasbro done the last few times the joes came out? How many times can they remake the AWE Striker? If you don't buy anything but GI Joe, great! But,if you do, that's fine too. Just ponder this, are you an action figure fan that just buys Joes, or are you an action figure fan that buys different lines similar to the joes. Buying online is not for kids, that market is dominated by collectors. Your average 5 year old, knows what they see. If they see a cool jeep, they don't care who made it. And I am not Walt.

The term"gi joe"is quickly returning to it's original generic meaning for solider, in this case,toy solider. Our hearts and minds are for the real american hero, but anyone under 30, I don't think so. It's like when you order a soda and say coke not caring if it's Coke or Pepsi.

When does a line go from knockoff to just another action figure line? Wouldn't Joytoy be considered a knockoff because it came out after Hasbro?

Joytoy is a line that goes on its own merits. Nice detail, molds, etc. Doesn't try to be gi joe. Corps has some of the exact story as joe (cobra vs joe, curse vs corps). If Lanard was good they would have took it and ran. Hasbro just had better people working for them and was able to take it all the way. A bootleg is a crappy copy of something else and that is what the corps are. A crappy version of gi joe.

It's a simple no. The Corps! brand still cannot compete with GI Joe. GI Joe is going to be releasing it's third major movie in the past decade with a major action figure push to accompany it in toy aisles. The Corps! never gained the same type of popularity and failed to ever overtake GI Joe when Hasbro would halt production of the Joe line.
