I just got notice that the Joe/Nerf collaboration gun has been canceled. I ordered it for my son. I guess not enough people ordered it? Maybe I was the only one lol

I had it on order for my son, but I ended up cancelling it and getting us two of the Pulse Rifles. I opened mine but he hasn't seen it yet. Fuckin' badass and I would have killed for one in 1986.

Hasbro pulse also cancelled my order.
Is this not being made? |

It would have been a huge success had they made it look like the laser rifle from the cartoon. Instead they slapped some paint on an old blaster that wasn't all that good to begin with. The recent Aliens pulse rifle and Halo needler are great examples of blasters that look like the source material and sold well because of that.

I believe Hasbro would have been better to re-release the nerf guns that were already scaled down for Classified Series with the appropriate markings.
https://thetoybox1138.blogspot.com/2...fied-nerf.html Then release the GI Joe laser rifle as a nerf gun. Back wall of the office would become a full display of 1/1 scale Joe and Cobra weapons.

I see what Hasbro was trying to do, honor the 40th anniversary of GI Joe, but once they showed it, it really did nothing for me, especially with nerf putting out so many iconic guns for Halo, Aliens, Star Trek, they really missed out on making a couple guns based off the old cartoon for both sides (GI Joe and Cobra laser rifles)

I'd like an Uzi with an Arashikage logo on it.

I just took a class in Design and so now I think I'm an expert in design because that's how it works, I'm sure . . .
But I learned a lot of getting design right is starting with the right question, and I think they started with the wrong question. They had their gun with big spaces that they put out with different graphics on it (I still see commercials for the non-Joe version of this gun all the time on youtube) and the question they asked was, "What logos and images does G.I. Joe have that we can slap on these things?" And the question they've never asked, but would be surprisingly easy to answer, is, "What guns would G.I. Joe fans buy if we made them?"
