>>9641746>healthy community here but that in no way puts it at the "most popular"We're talking about GI Joe fans, so i think we matter. None of the lines you and i are talking about are supported solely by fans, as the vast majority of sales come from children.
We literally don't matter in the grand scheme of things, but we're talking about fans, right? We're not even a forum dedicated specifically for GI Joe, yet it attracts a lot of people compared to other lines. There's a reason for that.
>That's more a supply chain issue.Kinda ignoring the fact that the line is still carried in the first place. Despite the movie bombign, it's still getting retail support, hence new figures and waves being announced. IT's selling a lot, whether i like it or not.
>The fact it died as fast as it did shows the point anon was sharingSigma 6 was a test. The cartoon bombed harder than the movie. The toyline struggled with kids and Walmart was not pleased with the results to gain a higher price point per shelf space. The TRU exclusives continued to sell well and new shit was created during that time.
Without a doubt, the 1:18 line still selling is why Hasbro decided to carry on with 1:18 figures for the 25th line, even though Hasbro was switching to 1:12 scale with its factories after gaining the ML license. In fact, all the praise for their 1:18 figures is part of why they decided to switch their Marvel license to 1:18 scale (the other part is because their MLs were awfully shit cmopared to TBs).
>The 25th line and beyond gave them a near complete collection of all the Joe brand in 4inch something that very few other time lines can sayI can see you're not a GI Joe fan, or pay attention to our threads, because the Pursuit of Cobra line was extremely popular, because it wasn't just retro-updates anymore, but modernized and future-fied in that GI Joe way. A lot of people wanted to see more of that, which is why the second movie line was as popular as it was, despite budget cuts.
