If all goes well, the movie will be a hit with kids like the Transformers film was and the Movie Joe toys will fly off the shelves. (Well, it's not good for collectors who want the Movie Joe toys and will have difficulty finding them. But if it's like Transformers, there will be a window of a few weeks where a lot of the product, more than normal, hits the shelves and sits there because the movie hasn't come out yet and caused every kid to start asking for the figures.) It'll be successful, and then Hasbro will get back to the more classic-based stuff that collectors like most of us are after. It could be a problem if the Movie toys take up lots of space on retailer shelves and don't move. Then Wal-Mart and such will probably order less of subsequent waves, Movie or not.

Didn't Hasbro say that? That we would be getting a huge amount of figures before the movie was released. I heard it somewhere and I'm not making it up. But if they aren't, then oh well. I was wrong.
But as for the movie line. Characters aside, they could be some really cool figures. They are 25th style articulation, so don't say anything we've seen each and everyone of them. |

I thought I'd be taking a break during the movie toys release too, but the pics I've seen of Duke and the Cobra Soldier are starting to change my mind.

i say bring on the movie line and resolute...and it sounds like they will be easier to find since nobody (almost) is looking foward to them

When the TF movie line came out it signaled the end of my collecting TF's as I knew it. (Some of you may be aware of my former somewhat prominent roll in the TF Fandom). The Animated line has reinforced that and has saved me a LOT of money. I only go after G1, Masterpiece and some Classics now.
The Joe movie line I see in the same light. I will not buy a bloody thing (I reserve the right to get a Vehicle or two if those don't suck but what we have seen so far looks lame as hell). Hasbro is doing me a big favor by saving me a LOT of money over the next year.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the movie figures and especially the vehicles look like. I still think the movie will suck, but some of the toys might be cool and still fit in with the rest of my Joe stuff.
Personally, the nostalgia factor for Joe is wearing a little thin for me. I'm glad they're making figures that haven't been made before, like the Cobra Bazooka Trooper and Cobra Diver. I'd like to see more new designs and new characters. Hopefully, the movie stuff feeds this craving. I'm not going to swear it off just because it's new. I'm not that close-minded. |
