Haha.. I think if you look at their recent so called efforts on 25th Anniversary falcon you'll see exactly why Hasbro ''WON'T SUCK IT UP AND DO WHAT IS NEEDED"
THAT COSTS MONEY!!! and.. IT'S A RISK!! Ohh Noooo they wont do that will they!! Not when people are clammering to TRU's and Targets scrambling for every little cruddy scrap of Repaints they can get..
Here is how Hasbro should do things, they should seriously look at the GIJOE movie and make a decision, either continue with the 25th sculpt and deem it as a success or do what they did in 1982/83 and change some of the problems of the 25th figures and ride the movie hype with the new figure line until the wheels fall off
on the back of this, they should release a cartoon & new comic, preferably both.
What in reality they will probably do.. is to release the new movie figures with repainted parts in 25th format announced as NEW GI JOE MOVIE FIGURES they'll be no cartoon and no new comic launch..
The answer then.. why wont hasbro suck it up? Because that would hit them hard in their fatcat wallets.. I honestly am now beginning to wonder whether hasbro ever did have any ''meaning'' and ''loyal intent'' towards the fans of this line.
