I wish I could toy hunt and browse a huge chunk of the aisle full of GI Joe in the same scale like that old pic.

Interesting report. Pretty sure the Snake Eyes film was NOT "successful" by any stretch of the mind. It's numbers were pretty bad and caused some shake ups over at Paramount. I've also recently seen the Space Jam figures in that new eco-friendly packaging in stores missing heads, arms, and accessories. Can't wait to get Classified figures like that without heads!

Regarding the bio packaging. I don't pay that much attention to other toys beyond Joe, Star Wars and transformers. What's up with the missing parts, is it a factory quality thing, or are the packages so insecure that slimy garbage people are stealing the parts?

If you're going to make a G.I. Joe movie, make an effing G.I. Joe movie and not some random pet project that didn't make it past the original pitch stage rebranded with a G.I Joe sticker slapped on the title page and the character names scribbled out with Joe character names written over them.

Nothing was said about the movie in the report, so let's not Telephone Game this into another round of grousing about why we didn't like the movie and move on.
The piece was interesting largely as a historical retrospective of Hasbro's success. Nice to see, but I'm not taking much away from this other than the mention of GI Joe is an implicit recognition of its importance to the Hasbro brand overall. At most that's the only takeaway. Otherwise a neat-o fluff piece for a local news affiliate. Thanks for sharing.

Hopefully this Snake Eyes movie fiasco will be a learning experience for Paramount. The lesson: Quit butchering the lore. If you're going to make a G.I. Joe movie, make an effing G.I. Joe movie and not some random pet project that didn't make it past the original pitch stage rebranded with a G.I Joe sticker slapped on the title page and the character names scribbled out with Joe character names written over them.

What's up with the missing parts, is it a factory quality thing, or are the packages so insecure that slimy garbage people are stealing the parts? As for the missing heads/parts, blame tik tok and stupid teens.

He mentioned the ongoing battle between the damn ninjas. I take it this interview was meant to promote that failed Ninja Force movie?
