As long as they get one perfect moment up on the silver screen (fight/stance between Snake and Stormy or something similar) then I'm going to enjoy it for what it is and not what it could be. Face it, it will never live up to the perfect dream of someone's re-make of the original marvel stories, first of all directors don't want to re-make something that has already been done, secondly everybody has their own ideas on how such a thing would be..

Just to throw in another example, Aliens vs Predator 1 had about 5 scenes in it that made it worth my while when watching it. Overall the movie was so and so, but those scenes made it memorable enough for me.

Take 'Transformers' (only because I could go on and on with a ton of movies, but this one just sprang to mind because of it's connection to G.I. Joe)......the movie was decent enough.....but for me, when I heard 'I am Optimus Prime'....THAT was the moment...... __________________ Non illigitamus carborundum~Vos mos non effrego mihi Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

I think if they added some realistic web gear it would even out the cargo pants but all in all not a bad design. Can't complain so far. __________________ "The Irish when good are perfect."

If they're willing to apply that same kind of detail to the rest of the movie, then maybe it won't be so bad. __________________ I have a new site for my table top tactical strategy role playing game for action figures and miniatures.

Movie impacting on value of figures

General Scarlett Hell hath no fury.... Offline --> Posts: 7,646 --> Join Date: Dec 2006	I don't think the movie will 'tank' per se......and I intend to see it multiple times.....and so does Flint.....so we'll help the sales!! As for the toys......I honestly think that they will do well....regardless. Especially if they come out with the vehicles/playsets that people are clamoring for.......that stuff will be H-O-T, we're all jonesin' for that.....because whether you like the 25th figures or not, the vehicles are still the classics we all know and love. That right there will make them attractive to casual and hardcore collectors. As for the Sigma line.....I just don't know, sorry. And for the value factor?? Well, to me and Flint.........our Joes are PRICELESS...... __________________ Non illigitamus carborundum~Vos mos non effrego mihi Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

I Hope Not.

Flatline THEY ARE NOT DOLLS!!! Offline --> Posts: 16,465 --> Join Date: Jun 2007	I Hope Not. as Long As The Movie Does "well" We Can Almost Gauranty To Get The Toys In Bulk At The Huge Stores. Such As Wal-mart Target K-marts Etc.... And When In Bulk The Prices Will Stay Relativly Low... It's The Interest That Will Be Sparked By The Ones Who Remember The Line But Havent Stayed "in The Loop" Hitting The Small Mom And Pop Toy Shops That May Cause Proices To Rise There. This Is Where I Get Most Of My Older Figures So I Hope That It Does Great But Not To The Point Where I Have To Pay Ebay Prices At The Shop. __________________ MY FLICKR PAGE......

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	There'll be a spike on old stuff. But the value is based on what people want for them. It's a pretty BS market in the end. I wouldn't worry. If you are keeping your Theme Year stuff, it's already fallen with the 25A. Same will happen when the movie overtakes the 25A. You just gotta wait 10 years to see what happens.
