I could see the average Soccer mom or grandma buying The Corps! figures as stocking stuffers, and then telling their friends "I just picked up some GI Joes for my boys for Christmas". GI Joe is the name brand item, The Corps is just the knockoff.

i mean, that's originally what they were intended to be anyway. just like american forces? whatever six different renamed lines from remco were. olmec's bronze bombers, same thing.
for walt to say that a character, based on bikers from mad max road warrior, was a world war 2 vet that was like macgyver has always been the thing - is complete bullshit. they did have some bios floating around internet but i am unable to find it. guess what he wasnt? a ww2 vet or macgyver. this is a major retcon, and bizarre as hell. |

What battle? The battle for dollars? The Great Patriotic War for Hearts and Minds? Some made-up bullshit struggle that only exists in the head of one or two nerds? Who gives a fuck? Both brands have some terrific toys, along with some shitty ones. Buy 'em if you like 'em...and can find 'em (which goes for both brands). Neither is exactly a major force in the marketplace these days. When was last time you heard a kid scream out "Oh, mama, LOOK! The Curse! Whispering Willie! Whispering Willie!"? I'd wager the answer is never. You may hear that one day, but it'll likely be a much older voice, and it'll belong to Itchy.
