I don't hate anyone, this is the internet now... let's be realistic, and my topic is obviously poking fun at ToiletMonkeys thread "Does anyone else hate the 25th figures?" But I keep forgetting the joe fans cannot detect sarcasm.
And I find collectors who wish the new line the quickest failure, when they have no good reason to, just as absurd. I'm not saying this is you, but I've seen on several boards fans who would rather have the line fail then succeed at all. That's just as absurd.
I just cannot believe you can look at Scarlett V1 and compare to the 25th figure and even justify yoyr reasoning in RAH being better.
And I feel like Microman figures are much more skeletal than anything Hasbro has produced.
because, unlike gi joe, those are superheroes. they are more popular with younger children and are/were more of a role model (i guess thats what you could say. . . they're more iconic) to more people than gi joe. they have a bigger fan base imo. so does star wars. their aren't gi joe pez dispensers at walmart all the time, or mugs or pillow cases. its not as popular. and because there isn't as big of a fan base i think a lot of collectors feel that hasbro should be making figures that they personally like so they complain about it because they know they are one of only a few collectors of the line. (i'm not saying their right for complaining but they have that right. . .lol)
i'm talking about the 3 3/4" figures not those awsome 12" figures that children loved back in the day. they, obviosly had a bigger fanbase then the 3 3/4" ones today.
I've read how Toy Biz stated the Marvel Legends figures were a collector driven line. Sure kids would buy them every now and then, but during the VvV and JvC climax I saw way more kids buying Joes at the stores then Superheroes.
