New media doesn't magically erase the originals and never has. Despite hate for some star wars some folks have, it never killed the love of the OG. People go nuts over new Star Trek shows and the current Nu-Trek, and guess what, it hasn't erased the original or love of the OG stuff.
Comic books reinvent and redo the lore every few years, and again, it doesn't kill off what you originally loved. If you don't like it, just ignore it, but to want something to fail which in itself hurts the whole brand always is a strange idea. Then you get similar folks complaining about how their favorite property is being ignored, not getting new content, new toys, new anything. Quote:
This is exactly what Bobby Vala said a few weeks back on that Infinity Equation Podcast. He said if the movie flops that is it for G.I. Joe for the foreseeable future. He said Paramount will tell Hasbro they are done with G.I. Joe. Next he said there will be a meeting at Hasbro with the higher ups that the brand managers and designers don't even get invited to. They will then decide to pull the plug no matter what stage of development or how far a long something is. He said everyone will just get sent an e-mail that G.I. Joe is over and done with and they are moving on to other projects. He said he has seen it happened like this before firsthand.
He also added that Hasbro does not have any faith in the Joe Brand and doesn't really want to do it. He said they've wanted to do MASK. Which is mind blogging to me. Last edited by PanzerKrake; 06-17-2021 at 08:39 AM.. |

Exactly. He also has a vested interest in seeing Classified fail. Nothing he has said about the line has been either fair or accurate.

Why does he have a vested interest in it failing? Honestly, if the line does good then his line does better. In some ways they feed off each other.

Yes, GIJoe's 'original self' has already been dead since 1982. Does no one remember our parent's GIJoe? Were they equally self righteous about keeping the brand the same as their childhood? Phew, glad we dodged that bullet... better lock it down now and never let GIJoe deviate again.

His comments suggest he doesn't agree with you. He has sounded incredibly bitter about Classified right from the start.

He's sour grapes cause Classified is taking winds out of his sails which he thought he had them one upped on with 6". Why buy knock off GI Joe for a higher price and wait forever when you got the real thing now being cheaper and readily available? He's also selling promises of new stuff he hasn't delivered still when he sold it to people before Classified was even known, it's already out on the market, and he still hasn't delivered.
He should be more grateful though cause he's probably selling more stuff now cause of Classified really, bunch of folks are wanting weapons and accessories that he's putting out to take advantage of the Classified line. But he takes every moment of his life to just piss on Hasbro, it's old. Even his "reviews" are basically "my toys are gonna be better" |

Like Crypto-currency and whatever the virtual art is called. Old is right.

You're probably thinking of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), which are used to authenticate unique ownership of a specific work of digital art (aka a "crypto-collectible").
