Pretty sure I saw a graphic mentioning that the Snake Eyes actor will appear shortly after kickoff at 11 EST. Have not seen an actual schedule though...

I would argue that Sigma 6 was the last truly GREAT action figure line.

Okay, have to be honest, I was completely mortified by the "fan"/customer demographics on display during the Facebook event*. (Not sure what I was expecting, but ... wow.) So, at any rate, I did some research, and the good news is Hasbro clearly realizes there is a major cause for concern. The former Head of Digital Marketing said, "Nostalgia is the enemy of progress" which "essentially boils down to the idea that if you’re too attached to the past, you’re less likely to step outside the box and try something new."
For anyone else interested, here are a few links to interviews with top Hasbro executives. Now, some of these are pre-pandemic, however clearly still apply. (Also worth noting that none of the execs even list G.I. Joe among the company's "major brands".) https://toybook.com/state-of-the-industry-qa-hasbro/ https://www.clickz.com/hasbro-evolve...tomers/214732/ https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/15/here...oys-r-us-.html Oh, and this old fan posting I found pretty much sums up the issue quite nicely: https://www.fandom.com/articles/gi-j...er-generations * At one point I thought I was gonna throw up. Seriously. (Though no offense to anyone who participated.)

That's a nice article, sums the problem up easily, Thanks for that!
I wonder if Masters of the Universe is having a similar problem, or if the "re-release" of the Origins line is an exercise in trying to kick-start the brand again? Good luck to each one of you today. can't wait for some reveals and purchases! |

Yeah, two new shows coming and I think they're both getting toy lines too.
