Is the new line of GI Joe toys over already? It's only been what, 2 years since the 25th anniversary line was released. I now see images of Movie figures and upcoming vehicles that all include gigantic spring loaded guns. If I remember, the toys from the early 90's all started coming with these shooting accessories and by that late in the toy series run, they all sucked hard core.
It may be a rhetorical question, but what the hell? Why can't they leave well enough alone. Why do toys need lame looking guns that actually shoot. Whats wrong with imagination? Sorry, but this has been bugging me since 1993, now it's starting over again. |

Because apparently children need an action feature, and missile launchers are apparently what Hasbro thinks they will like. These are for the movie line anyhow, and assuming the 25th/Modern line comes back from hiatus after the movie line i doubt we'll see a continuation of the SLMLs.
Jesus Christ, be thankful they aren't modifying the figures with karate action. Throw the damn launcher away if it's that much of a bother. |

The crappy spring loaded accesories are ok on some things but totally ruin others.

I love spring loaded missile launchers and hope they also re-introduce water cannons and something involving slime.

Hasbro has said that in their test, children liked the spring loaded weapons, so to please everyone, they decided to include spring loaded weapons along with the same accessories these figures would have gotten if there were no spring loaded weapons. Basically the weapons everybody are complaining about are bonus weapons |
