>>10655264So Hasbro is still voluntarily holding back on making 1:12 vehicles?
I mean, you're technically correct that it's totally voluntary that stores are voluntarily not making orders for $100+ 1/12 vehicles. And Hasbro is voluntarily not making them available on their website, instead choosing to not produce any large vehicle unless it gets a couple thousand backers. And many fans voluntarily not spending what little money they have to buy a $300 vehicle.
If this was the 2010s, at this point there'd already be a [i:lit]couple[/i:lit] dozen vehicles existing in the GI Joe line. In a single opening wave for the year, there'd be 3 or 4 vehicles, one or two of them being large ones. All available at stores.
You can say it's totally just the signs of the times, yet Jazwares is able to release a couple of vehicles for their Halo line every year. Same shit with Jazware's Fortnite line. McFarlane has also released vehicles for their DC line for under a hundred bucks too and even a couple of playsets. All of these lines are selling well, hence these companies still producing
>There were also bigger vehicles than the 1:12 HISS released in the previous Joe scale on store shelves. Yes, that's the beauty of 1:18. So much selection that you could get vehicles in so many sizes every year.
So what did you mean by this?
>On top of them having an easy option to put out the HISS in blue in a few years with reduced accessories and pack-in figures. Online only?
