STOOPID HAZBLOW! Y EWE HATE HARDKOR COLLECTORS?
sigh. "Hey, there's a new brand manager!" "Hey, info on NEW Joe stuff will be around later this year!" "Hey, heads up! We won't be at Toy Fair, but we'll see you at JoeCon!" Yep - All clear indicators that Hasbro hates G.I.Joe, it's fans and anything that sounds remotely like "modern army action figure." And after all the bitching and moaning, Hasbro could release an ALL ARAH line (as if the last 7 years didn't happen) and guess what? I'LL WAIT FOR ROSS! /sarcasm "We want to have stronger, more consistent dialogue with the collectors and fans. We want collectors to have NEW vehicles and playsets to energize the brand to a new generation of kids and a fantastic new feature film that is faithful to the soul of the brand (action, fun, weapons, vehicles). Two things I want to prioritize right away - I want to enable and simplify army building for Collectors, and I want the file cards to be brilliant for our characters." But hey, take what he says with a grain of salt, because he is a "Ginger". Can't trust those "Gingers". |

Correction we can and damn sure will bitch and moan but we have to complain about theoretical toys. And that's not as fun. Last edited by EvilMonkeyPrime; 01-05-2015 at 06:08 PM.. |

I think 50th wave 2 is about the best we can hope for 2015. It's not that I'm a pessimist, it's just that without any buzz whatsoever, it isn't logical to expect some big reboot this year. I think they will show an exclusive line, likely TRU, and hopefully give some definitive information either way about Joe Black at Joe Con this year.

Looks like we will be clenching our b-holes a little bit longer. I have more fun complaining about the lack of existence of GI JOE rather than GI JOE existing and it completely sucking. Which it never has.

can't argue with you there... is it as bad or worse on other toy fan sites?

Toy Fair isn't for fans or collectors.
It's kind of confusing. Hasbro (and Mattel, IIRC) doesn't actually go to the honest-to-god "Toy Fair." However, they each set up their own independent (of Toy Fair) showrooms and give their own presentations in the same general location and timeframe as Toy Fair every year. I don't know if it's a case of "We're too big so we have to do our own setup" or "We don't want to have to play by your rules, Toy Fair organization" but either way, Hasbro (and Mattel) get to do "their own thing" that just "happens" to occur in roughly the same time and place as Toy Fair, and gets wrapped up with all that media coverage (up to and including sites labeling their coverage of those showrooms/events as "Toy Fair" stuff, which confuses the issue more). So basically...for all intents and purposes they are part of Toy Fair every year, but strictly speaking their presentations and showroom are not actually part of the official New York Toy Fair.
