I was so excited about this line before they started going crazy with their reimaginings. Oh well.

Yea, was a dream come true....
Even if they did start them back up, no way am I going to pay $250 for artistic interpretations.

Just a little freaky
I agree with that statement as well - and I really like your work EvilFace - SS should outsource their GI Joe work to you...
As for the brand formally known as GI Joe - I always wondered why Hasbro and Sideshow put GI Joe on "Hiatus" (Sideshow didn't have to - unless they were somehow contractually obligated to do so) and my research has concluded that Hasbro has folks at the top who don't understand how to reinvent, revitalize and rejuvenate a brand that for the past 40+ years has been beaten to death by the very same organization that owns it. It's a shame when people don't take care of their own until it's too late.
Now, from I understand, they want to focus on only selling to directly children - under age 12.
Here is some of my research:

“A MARKET IS DEFINITELY BEING IGNORED”

If Hasbro doesn't get their act together soon, there will not be no more GI Joe and Hasbro will be remembered like Atari.
You all remember Atari, right?

It’s always fascinating to hear directly “from the top” whenever discussing the past, present or future of Hasbro’s most marvelous creation.
