I've just saw too many films screw things up. The X-Men Trilogy was pants.

The Star Wars prequels were pants...

And it's not just movies...

Look at Star Trek Enterprise... That festering bucket of crap completely rewrote Trek history as we knew it.

I'm just really really worried that Joe is about to go the same way...

Seriously, I agree with you 100%......with the War in Iraq becoming unpopular, these companies are shying away from war toys....it happens during every war since WWII!!! They are just looking for a way to drive the line to the bottom and cancel her! BLAH!!!

See Frank, this is what is funny... Back in the 80's when the UK had soldiers abroad kicking @$$ in the Falklands and later in the Gulf, Action Force/Joe sold incredibly well here. Infact kids were actively encouraged to buy the line by their parents when we were at war!

It's amazing that the world has changed so much in 20 or so years.

I guess public opinion just isn't on Joe's side anymore. It makes me think that as a toy, Joe is doomed and us die hard collectors are pishing into the wind... Same with our hopes for the movie...

I was pretty much in agreement until here, in particular the "did TF comic have storylines?" part -- the mythology established by the comics was even more rich and involved than GI Joe's! Especially when you look at Simon Furman's stuff; things that originated in the comics are still affecting the mythologies of modern incarnations of the brand!

I have mixed feelings towards the live-action movie. I got a bit annoyed by the Autobots being portrayed as giant mechanical clown-monkeys...

I see they're still going with the whole Belgium thing even though Hasbro shot that down... __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.

Though I didn't know the guy who did the Mummy is working on this movie, perhaps it'll be light hearted like that movie was. __________________ I have a new site for my table top tactical strategy role playing game for action figures and miniatures.
