I'd hope they would switch back to flocking the heads if they're going to make the 12" figures yet again. They need that extra touch as the last Action/Pilot/etc WM exclusives years ago did not move. Update them a little, don't stick with the old formula as much this round.
4" ME versions? I will army build them.

So yeah, basically we've pretty much just seen Hasbro's 50th anniversary of G.I. Joe celebration in the making. Wouldn't be surprised if re-release/replicas of the originals are pretty much the extent of it.

Cheap bastards, like those people who want to buy a 12" GI JOE figure for their little kid that doesn't cost $150?

Pfft, nobody buys G.I. Joe. Only Collectors do and we're a dying breed. Once we're gone that's it for G.I. Joe

Sideshow and Hasbro 12" figures aren't competing products. If Hasbro thought they were, they wouldn't have allowed Sideshow to have the license at all. Yeah, this would be pretty cool, actually. They'd go well with those Adventure Team figures and sets the Club did a couple years ago.

Um, no, because they're a toy company that still markets to CHILDREN, maybe?

They allowed Sideshow the license just like they did with Starwars...TO MAKE BETTER,realistic (Joe) interpretations...Period! |

exactly! Hasbro has continually failed over and over with Joe..only the people who grew up with GI Joe care and are really the supporters...kids today are only interested (if they actually are) because Daddy had a GI Joe collection
