It can always be both, sadly. Glad it's been spotted early and that there's a workable fix.

You may have to settle for a lot of great pictures of issues with QC. I was also going to be able to scale back a bit this year (waiting for later to pull any triggers on combiners), but honestly with what could happen to the prices of everything ELSE from food to other types of goods (a lot of...

Idk, I think TMNT was their only REALLY big thing going. And when that dried up it dried up HARD. Is Pixel Dan going to be offering digital copies of those? But then again it'd be nice to have physical copies...

I don't think the point was that GI Joe should rebrand as that.

It's a neat line and you can really see how into it the team is in every stream. (these streams are my favorite modern-era Hasbro thing, and I hope they never stop.) Once they decided to just go all in on the more-faithful updates their audience really wanted anyway, they really hit their...

Mm. That's good.

That's what I think Hasbro is doing by just letting Classified be its own thing, not attempting a show or movie in the meantime. Mine the nostalgia and the novelty of the new scale, let that drive a comfortable degree of sales, don't overreach just yet. (Who knows what'll happen if and when the...

In any case it's in their best interests to stick together on this. Hasbro has a lot of weight to swing and the other options are either busy/loaded or not as appealing. And the Disney properties are still huge and recognizable. I'd want to hold on to those too as Hasbro, because I can't really...

I had mostly the same thoughts in that Hasbro and Disney were probably the best match under the current circumstances, but... In a more positive light that didn't involve notions of "embarrassment" and "inability to move on". But then I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the retail ups and...

That's true, and always the case with GI Joe. But that's part of what I'm saying -- because they've kind of stopped trying to put it on a bigger stage than it can handle right now, they can just make a comparatively little fan-focused line whose only job is to play to that crowd and rehash the...

Volume, yes. But I do see your point in leveraging what works and works consistently. Maybe there's a middle ground they can find that'll be reasonable. Star Wars... It's kind of like GI Joe in that it's stuck in a certain framing, but worse off because GI Joe didn't spend the last ten years or...

I'll even take the Trilogy/Movie Advanced "is your head the Matrix or" sculpt just so I don't have to look at "we skinned Einstein and put his hair back on him". Maybe even the Trilogy color scheme as well (easier to fudge and repurpose as a new guy than the more G1 Movie Advanced colors) so...

Whatever gets us back to 4 inch, I'll at least hear out. I love that Classified has Joe fans eating REAL good, but the only 4 inch stuff being classic o-rings from Super 7 (the new non-o-ring Retro sculpts from Hasbro were nice but those didn't last at all) has been kind of a bummer. And the...

R.E.D. seemed like such a misfire from the word go, but only as an in-house pursuit. Even at the time, not knowing about Blokees and Yolopark and all the other stuff that would come, I figured Hasbro would be better off licensing out a subline to someone else. There's a certain appeal to a...

What a time to be alive.

What a time to be alive.

Did not know that!

Hm. Was looking forward to that one specifically for the height since the Prime Changer was firmly Deluxe size. Also interested in finally getting a Que (funny how he's billed as "Wheeljack (Que)" on the box) now that the wave is starting to come out, but I wonder what options there might be...

Blokees is not my thing, and that's fine. I'm glad to see it catching on and continuing. The Galaxy Defender minis even push a few of the same buttons for me that Kre-O does, but aside from that general "tiny cute cool" charm I'm not really tempted to go all in. (The legit blindness of the...

I was burning out with Mattel too, and even specialty stores started having trouble bringing stuff in toward the end. I just lost interest in it. I like the look of a lot of the McFarlanr stuff, except some of the faces. And as I mentioned it's practically an instant collection because they've...
