Haven't learned much from eOne on the future of Joe either.

Remember back in 2007, these 8 inch figures had an MSRP of $9.99. This pic doesn't even show all accessories:
This is what you would get for $19.99 (8 inch figures): No digs at Hasbro or the direction, just saying...what was I saying? It's a different world, 15 years hence...

If those were 4-inch, I'd buy them.

i literally do not share an iota of the same sentiment as the majority of people into gijoe. im not patriotic, but i see a metric tonage of posts about how it should be patriotic or how hasbro is afraid to be patriotic or hasbro cant be patriotic - and those people are super weird.
the second people stop thinking of gijoe as a us specific thing, and more of an international group of heroes (because they werent fighting in america all the time) like action force, the better things would be. As for the main topic of the thread, I don't know what to think because I still don't feel like we've SEEN a direction for the franchise. Lots of great toys coming, but I don't see any moves to bring in a new audience. I'm sure the Snake Eyes movie underperforming probably ruined a bunch of those plans, but I really want to see what they're going to pitch to people who aren't longtime Joe fans already. |

I agree with what you're saying here. Beyond America's borders do not live a lesser people. America doesn't have a monopoly on whatever anyone thinks GI Joe represents (strength, valor, etc.) I also suspect that everyone's definition of "patriotism" is very different, but that conversation wouldn't end well.

Once these corporations figure out not to invest into weak shitty writers , with pathetic attempts to change lore and our childhood, the better off financially they will be and we will be. You speak of the SE movie. I personally didn?t mind they used an Asian American at all. Most did. But the story? Atrocious. The acting ? Atrocious. Gi Joe has always been the perfect blend of diversity, culture and different countries. You?d think by now Hasbro and movie makers would figured it out and create some epic shit. Instead we get Channing Tatum as Duke with a B grade Marvel superhero script. And to top it off , a sequel. Come on, I know a few of you are gonna say ? bhut bhut theh 1st movie dhid soooh whell ! You?re right cupcake. It did. Becuase we are suckers , so much so we thought the 2nd fucking movie would give us what we want. Shame on you. And me. - place casual fans here: who are happy with anything medicore GIJoe. You all are the real problem. You all are about to see what a few fans can do on 1 character and expanded universe.

If it isn't amazing, we'll all pitch-in to pay Channing Tatum to play you in the movie-of-the-week about your fall from glory. I'd have preferred to see a movie about Snake-Eyes's father. |
