>>7535536Hasbro needs to give up hopes on this "mass universe" film franchise. Outside of TF- which is now waning- their films have been either "barely profitable" or "horrendous bombs".
>MASKA brand they obtained from a competitor they bought out and have never shown more than basic interest in after leaving it sit for 20 years. Then Hasbro mandated Matt be black less for diversity more for "we don't want him to look like Duke because it might confuse stupid people". Hasbro has zero faith in their audience to tall 2 things apart of they look vaguely alike.
>ROMWho remembers this?
>VisionariesAgain, outside of a small handful, who remembers this?
>Action ManA sloppy attempt to treat Palitoy's UK rebranding of GI Joe as a totally new thing, it barely mattered in the first place and has always been too gimmicky to try and stand out from GI Joe, and I would wager the UK collectors find it to be a big middle finger to the brand they grew up on.
>MicronautsA brand they license from Takara and have never had any real investment into(in fact the previous US iteration was through Palisades), they just wanted a quick & easy new thing to expand the CU on- and they have so little faith they have to slap the Bayformers into the film.
