No what?

Like I said in an earlier post. Lenny and Emily are going to have to eventually address this and issue a statement about the hooded C.C. DO NOT RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING BECAUSE I'M REALLY NOT TRYING TO GO DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE, BUT IT'S NEEDED TO BE SAID TO ADD CONTEXT! I'm thinking that maybe that black JOE fans, (since we're the that's would be effected and would take offense to the hooded COBRA Commander,) should get to together as a group explain how we feel about issues as they pertain to race, and how the hooded C.C. is in no way shape or form analogus to Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, or Ratus. Hasbro needs to understand that they have overwhelming support concerning the hooded COBRA Commander and just because Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mike Ryan, and that random YouTuber who said in his video that C.C.'s hood was problematic doesn't make it so and anybody who does needs to be ignored. Shit, this is why we as fanboys need to add Hasbro stock to our collections in order to make our voices stronger. It also needs to be noted that up until 2017 there has been 10 hooded C.C.s released since di Bonaventura dumb ass statement about the C.C.'s hooded and a damn near two years ago there was products released featuring the hooded C.C. without incident. If Hasbro can have a Snow Trooper and Gung Ho with his new tattoo on the market without anybody saying anything, then they can have a hooded COBRA Commander on the pegs. If Hasbro feels that the hooded C.C. is problematic and has "retired," him then issue the statement, take the heat from YouTube content creators and bloggers, and hold that "L," so we can put the issue to bed and move on from it.

The issue isn't the Army not wanting to endorse G. I. JOE. Why wouldn't the Army or (one of the five other branches of the U.S. military for that matter,) want an affiliation with the premier military toy and have Hasbro be a proud sponsor of the military's Morale, Welfare and Recreation programs.
Rather the issue is Hasbro is still anti-military and Hasbro doesn't want to pay the licensing fees to each respective branch to use their trademarks. Last edited by MadFlava76; 01-24-2022 at 09:43 AM.. |

Because the Skystriker is being marketed to the adult collector, but fuck all of that. Dude, don't ever, ever, ever, ever, and I do mean EVER try to be Fred Broca. You're not Fred Broca nor you can ever be Fred Broca and when you try to be Fred Broca you wind up being an extremely poor facsimile there of when you attempt to make these bullshit points.

Things change all the time. It's entirely possible the branches of the military have gotten more stringent with the licensing of their images.
Or Hasbro just didn't want to pay for it. Point is, we don't know. |

The Hooded Cobra Commander debate ends here. We have already had several threads to discuss this topic and the bottom line is we may never see this figure again. Furthermore Emily is not CEO of Hasbro so asking questions like this of her is pushing the red line. Please get back on topic and use this thread to enjoy what was shown at the FFF.
Any further discussion about Hooded Cobra Commander will be removed.

Emily, is it possible that you and Lenny can do a Q & A with us? Here's how it would work. You announce the Q & A and we submit the questions, (say hundred questions just throwing a number out there,) Out of those hundred questions you pick the ones you're going to answer, get approval from who you need to get approval from and you guys hit us back with the answers.
