I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW TO CONTACT SOMEONE AT HASBRO WHO WILL LISTEN TO WHAT FIGURES TO MAKE.

I HAVE WRITTEN LETTERS TO HASBRO ASKING FOR THEM TO MAKE SUCH AND SUCH FIGURES BUT THEY ALWAYS GET SENT BACK! THEY INCLUDE THIS FORM LETTER SAYING HOW THEY CAN'T TAKE OUTSIDE IDEAS DUE TO PATENT AND COPYRIGHT LEGALITIES.

QUESTION THEN: HOW DO THEY COME UP WITH IDEAS? I AM IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE INDUSTRY AND I HAVE TO TAKE GOOD IDEAS FROM MY PUBLIC ALL THE TIME SO I STAY IN BUSINESS. IF NOTHING ELSE, SO THAT WAY I MAKE MY CLIENTLE HAPPY BY OFFERING THE PRODUCTS THEY WANT AND ASK FOR. MY BOTTOM LINE SHOWS THE POSITIVE RESULTS!

HOWEVER, YOU TAKE THIS MULTI MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY AND IT SEEMS THEY DONT GIVE A RATS $*& ABOUT WHAT THEIR CUSTOMERS THINK AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WANT!!!!

YOU TAKE THE NEW "PILOT SCARLETT." I HAD BEEN ASKING FOR YEARS FOR A DOMESTIC GLENDA. THEY ALMOST GOT IT RIGHT EXCEPT SHE WON'T HAVE BLONDE HAIR LIKE IN THE ORIGINAL. SHE WILL JUST BE SCARLETT WITH RED HAIR! THIS IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL TO HAVE SOME OF THE COOLERS ARGENTINA AND BRAZILLIAN FIGURES MADE AVAILABLE IN THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY FORMAT.

THEY COULD AT LEAST DO A BLONDE VARIANT! BUT I FIGURE THEY WON'T BUT WITH A GREAT DEAL OF LUCK, MAYBE HASBRO WILL LISTEN TO THIS OUTCRY AND MAKE AN ACCURATE GLENDA AND MAKE A BLONDE VARIANT. IT IS A DREAM, I HAVE!

THEN THEY GO AROUND AND MAKE A NEMESIS ENFORCER CHARACTER. WHY DIDN'T THEY MAKE THE PYTHONA FIGURE? IN THE 2007 JOE CON THEY SHOWED A CUSTOM OF PYTHONA. PYTHONA WAS THE ONLY COOL COBRA LA CHARACTER ON GIJOE THE MOVIE.

THEY ALSO SHOWED ZARANA, ALLEY VIPER, AND AIRTIGHT! THE ONLY ONE THEY DIDN'T HAVE WAS BLOWTORCH.

THESE WERE REALLY COOL FIGURES!

INSTEAD THEY ARE MAKING HARD BALL?!!! A LITTLE LIKE 1988 CHARACTER.

IF THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE 1988 CHARACTERS WHY NOT GHOSTRIDER THE PHANTOM PILOT OR SHOCKWAVE AND HIT n RUN? THESE WERE COOL CHARACTERS, NOT A CHARACTER WHO USED A BASEBALL GUN.

FURTHERMORE, HOW ABOUT COLONEL SHARP AND ADMIRAL LEDGER FROM THE CARTOON?

HASBRO HAS RELEASED THE WEATHER DOMINATOR DVD PACK AND NO COLONEL SHARP. ALSO, IT IS OUT ON WHAT WILL BE IN THE PYRAMID OF DARKNESS DVD SET.

NOT ADMIRAL LEDGER!

WHAT GIVES?

HASBRO PLEASE NO MORE REPAINTS OF SNAKE EYES, STORM SHADOW, AND COBRA COMMANDER.

IF YOU RELEASE ONE MORE OF THESE FIGURES, HASBRO YOU CAN GO STICK IT.

IF YOU MAKE THEM, QUIT SCREWING WITH US AND FINALLY MAKE THE FIGURE WITH NO MASK. I REPEAT, NO MASK. I WANT TO SEE THEIR FACES FINALLY IN TOY FORM.

IS THAT POSSIBLE?

FOR MORE COOL FIGURES, JUST LOOK AT YOJOE.COM'S ARCHIVE.

HASBRO, MAKE PAYLOAD, ADMIRAL KEAL HAUL, BLOWTORCH, AIRTIGHT, ZARANA W/ ZANDAR. STRATO-VIPERS, W.O.R.M.S., STAR-VIPERS ALSO.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE STUPID CHARACTERS LIKE DR. MINDBENDER, BIG BOA, AND CROC-MASTER (CRAP MASTER)?!

I STOPPED BUYING G.I.JOE BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN THE CHARACTERS BECAME TOO RIDICULOUS OR WHEN THEIR UNIFORMS WERE NEON COLORED.

I SEE IN THE LIVE ACTION MOVIE PICKS, THEY ARE OPTING FOR THE X-MEN MOVIE LOOK OF BLACK LEATHER. THE TOY COMPANY SHOULD TAKE SOME QUES FROM THE MOVIE STUDIO.


ANYWAY, I HAVE BEEN RANTING BUT MY WORDS HOLD TRUE.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SUBMIT SUGGESTIONS SO HASBRO WILL ACTUALLY DO IT?

THEY SEEM TO BE MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES AS THEY DID 20 YEARS AGO AND IF THEY CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH, G.I.JOE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF VISION.

ALSO, GET THOSE EYEBALLS PAINTED RIGHT!

-NUFF SAID


PS: I DO HAVE TO SAY, THE ONLY POSITIVE RESPONSE I EVER GOT WAS WHEN I USED TO WRITE "THE PITT" (THE LETTER COLUMN) OF MARVEL G.I.JOE.

LARRY HAMA WROTE BACK SEVERAL TIMES. HE IS PRETTY COOL!

OF ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH G.I.JOES LONGEVITY, HAMA REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT IT.

THANKS FOR READING THIS AND PLEASE HELP!!!

All I ever wanted was Pythona, Colonel Sharp, Sparks, Admiral Ledger, Vac-Chrome Glenda (Blonde Hair) and Vac-Chrome Cobra Mortal, Vac-Chrome Cobra Commander with removable helmet with real face inside, BLONDE HAIRED Covergirl, Blowtorch, Airtight, Cobra Mara, Payload, and Keel Haul.

Come on Hasbro, wake up and pay attention to the fans. You might be able and succeed and keeping your franchise alive this time.

Don't do what Playmates did and make 37 different versions of Captain Picard and Kirk and wonder why people quit buying your stuff! They lost their license and Hasbro will have a similar predicament if your guys don't wisen up about with figures to manufacture.

You can't make everyone happy, I am a tough customer I know but look at the overwhelmingly negative comments on the blogs, they don't lie.

Start taking suggestions and acting on them. That is my advice to you. Thanks for your time!

Because if they do, the line will end. The trick is to keep us coming back for more.

The oldest trick of the trade, ya know.

[spazzy]

you would be surprised how many people want the other items in addition to the "popular" ones. I am one of them.

No the trick is to keep retailers ordering. Common sense.

ALSO THIS THREAD IS CLOSED ON ACCOUNT OF IT BEING YET ANOTHER BITCHING FIESTA, AND YET AGAIN IN THE WRONG FORUM....OH GOD WHY AM I SURPRISED
