Angry What is keeping me in G.I.Joe?

Actually.. Nothing. Before I begin..
*please note* my outburst isn't meant to offend anyone reading, however it is purely my own experiences and own opinion, of which I believe i'm entitled to.

Which is why I'm quitting. I'll probably keep one or two figures but i've had it, bored of the constant trype hasbro keeps feeding and expecting consumers to pay good money on.
They don't release such utter bull crap in any other toy line other than the GIJOE one.. I don't know what everyone see's in the 25th.

They have b**** ***s.. and bandy legs.. and also are completely poorly designed in the characters view too.
Baroness & Gung-Ho are quite possibly the worse of these.

There's nothing to keep me into G.I.JOE, all hasbro has done is cast out cheap, dry coloured crap and everyone seems to like it.. hmm I might go into the s**t shovveling business and repackage it with a hasblow logo.
The only decent figures that they released were back in the late 80s.

The figures and vehicles have to change with the times and modernise.. How true.. I agree but not under the guise or sacrifice of quality and decent releases.
The problems that have plagued the 25th line.. I hear excuses such as:
1) ooh just sand down some of the torso or dremel a bit away..
or
2) they'll get it right come wave 4 or 5.

Oh wonderful so not only is the collector dillusional and stupid but hasbro are too. Obviously you'll have to give hasbro time to perfect these soldiers.. because they've never released figures to a mass market before
Pur-lease.. hasbro has experience and the financial clout to give us what we want... but they lack however one main ingredient.. control over their own greed.

They want us to buy this hunk of crap and hutch of pish.. and as long as there are the severe deluded out there high on the wave of the 25th celebrations all to willing to part with their cash.. and take their soldiers home to fix hasbro's problems... why should they change?

Hasbro are completely ignorant to the GI JOE line, they have been since the last waves of the 90s. I didnt want neon figures.. and i dont think many other kids did too, but we still got them.. I'm slowly beginning to hate something that I once loved.
