>>7519789>That would fail miserably, because GI Joe didn't get good until the fourth and fifth wave. Not to mention flat out impossible, since Hasbro doesn't have the molds for a good chunk of the vintage figures and the last time they tried to do a vintage reissue series (from 1997-2001) it backfired HUGE on them because of the bait and switch on molds being used and substandard packaging.Is it so crazy to suggest that Hasbro could just kill two birds with one stone by creating even better 3.75-inch versions of the old characters with new molds, better sculpts and modern articulation, and simply don't fuck it up at the finish line this time?
Shit, I'm not even the biggest G.I. Joe fan, but it's so fucking weird that this whole brand pillar is allowed to rot while all of pop culture is stewing in an 80's nostalgia gold rush and vintage He-Man figures are reissued left and right without any problem.
