How do I feel about being a Joe fan?
I will ALWAYS be a Joe fan. I LOVE the Joes I already have, and love getting new ones, either from Ebay or Frank's care packages of "I have 30 of these, want one?". The "new" 25th stuff semi-intrests me. I still have ALOT of collecting to do with the classic stuff, and I'm not even really thinkin about the new 25th stuff. I love the America's Elite comic line, and soon Stormy is gonna have his own line.
For me, it's a great time to be a Joe fan, and I don't see when it would ever be a BAD time.
Hasbro is a company, and companies wanna make money. They don;t wanna just break even or make friends, they want the all mighty dollar ROLLIN in, and they are going to do whatever they think will make that money. On the other side of the coin, if they'd LISTEN, we'd give them our money like crazy if they made the stuff we actaully asked for instead of Snake Eyes version 63, now with Realistic Shoelaces! The cancelled DTC line would have done fairly well, and if we could get our grubby lil hands on NEW characters, or updates from ARAH characters long forgotten (LIKE DOC!), we'd be rollin in our figure stands.
We have to face facts, there's a suit at Hasbro that probably has no idea who Snake Eyes actually is, or why we're sick of him. On the other side, as was previous mentioned, let's be thankful we're getting anything at all. Poor Thundercat b@st@rds.
