Hasbro saw that success, but instead of pushing for more of that shit, they reimagined the line to cash in on the superhero craze and mcfarlane's popularity with larger scale preposed figures.
And the GI Joe General was just talking about the Mega Marine aliens either this thread or last thread. There's quite a bit of nostalgia for that era.
Personally, i wasn't even turned off by the neon, but the kick/punch gimmicks were so shit.
Also, GI Joe started being re-run on the USA Cartoon Express, so more kids were exposed to GI Joe in 1992-1994. Syndication is nice and all, but it was losing steam in 1990 and it's far easier for kids to watch GI Joe at 3pm during the weekday and 8pm on weekends, instead of 5am Monday-Friday.
Cable adoption in the late 80s and 90s was gigantically huge. A real paradigm shift from broadcast, not just in technology, but how content was watched and created.
