I would like to add that there was likely a mandate to either push Retaliation or enforce a general minimal price of entry for a Gi Joe figure that the DG waves broke rank on by giving those of us buying 80s style Joes what we actually wanted instead of limiting us to Retaliation product.
DG also didn't have ANY input on the design of the GI Joe assortment short of dictating that they wanted to sell them at $6 (same price ALL name brand action figure stuff sells at their store, including Transformers, Batman and WWE, which aren't even articulated!)

yeah I communicated that poorly, I just meant that was the effect it had at a time the direction was supposed to be those terrible movies. I didn't think DG were in the business of designing figures. I do think the team at Hasbro that put them together knew what they were doing...this time.

No to interrupt your DG discussion but I wonder if this "relaunch" rumor has anything to do with the 6" line rumor that Destro posted the other day?

Mainly because there's NO way Hasbro's going to freshly tool up a bunch of new 6" product if there isn't some significant retail support behind it (and by that I mean probably more than just TRU). I suppose it's not impossible (especially if say, it were limited to four or five figures), it just seems unlikely. Last edited by Jmacq1; 10-28-2014 at 02:33 PM.. |

Well that's the point, I would rather see Dg waves 3 and 4.

If the 6" line rumor has any legitimacy, then yeah, I'd imagine it's pretty much guaranteed that it's part of a brand relaunch.

I hope it's not more of the same old tired characters. I don't need or want another Snake Eyes or Duke. I want some more obscure characters that could lead to better more unique stories. It's time to think out of the 80's box.
