Went to the local Halloween store with my sons to get costumes. They want to be Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow this year. The guy behind the counter said they have been sold out of both for over a week! He said half of the boys that come into his store are looking for those costumes. I was able to find the last 2 in thier size at a Wal-Mart last week, everyone is sold out now.
Please, please please Hasbro, don't blow this!!!! |

Probably a bit of both. Joe is getting popular again (where's the cartoon to keep the Joe Locomotive going?) and kids go gaga over ninjas.

Everyone loves ninjas! I watched "Enter the Ninja" on TV the other day. horrible acting, but they use a pretty good ninja arsenal for the fight scenes!

Ninjas are always cool and GI Joe is very popular with the Elementary age kids.

My 3 year old sone was going to go as SE but the costume we could have done ourselves and I was going to pay those prices for the "deluxe" version with the muscles...so he settled on Bumblebee

I saw two kids hunting the pegs for a SE figure. They found it and were excited, but their mom wouldn't buy it for them. :(

Look at it this way: The last big animated Joe property failed pretty badly (Sigma 6), and the last "small" one (Resolute) was well-received by fans...but pretty much was ONLY received by fans. Making an animated series is an expensive undertaking. If the movie had completely tanked, but Hasbro had been cranking money out to make a "tie in" animated series to debut alongside or shortly thereafter, that would've been a huge risk of wasted money. Plus, with the Hasbro/Discovery Kids venture, it might not be in Hasbro's best interests to crank out a Joe toon as soon as possible, since then they'll have to convince someone to carry it, when instead they can hold off and have a "built in" network to air it on. It's not just as simple as "OK, movie did OK, let's debut the animated series!" in other words. |
