>>10442000>maintained worldwide popularity>us doesn't count!>it's pedantic to point out declining production worldwide because of declining sales ≠ popular and no longer being made in largest toy market in the world!! sure is retard telling me that 2+2=5
>GI JoeAs i said up there somewhere, GI Joe actually never stopped production in the US and various countries kept on producing toys too.
Pic is a 1999 toy from India
But as i said before
>[GI Joe had] a longer run at uninterrupted sales than Transformers (gi joe makeover started in 1982), but it's a pretty dumb way to gauge successjust because it existed.
Sales are far more important and why I brought up TMNT and STar Wars as being top 5, as they were both huge and for a far longer time, maximizing sales in ways TF never did until the 00s, even though both franchises disappeared for years (nearly a decade for SW).
