Wow. My all-time toy grails keep getting checked off one by one over the recent years:

- A whole line of Aliens figures? Check. (NECA)

- Same for Predator? Check. (NECA)

- TMNT 1990 movie figures in 7-inch scale? Check! (NECA)

- Star Wars in 1/12 scale? Check. (Hasbro + Bandai + Figuarts)

- Marvel and DC superheroes in 1/12 scale? Check and check (Hasbro + Figuarts + MAFEX)

- TRON figures? Getting there! (DST)


All I'd need now (besides more space) are:

- Original "V" 6 or 7-inch scale figures

- '80 cartoon Dungeons & Dragons 1/12 scale figures

Yeah I'm continually amazed that Hasbro is neglecting a big money maker by not resurrecting the 80s cartoon versions of GI Joe as a 6" Black Series style line of figures. I'd be all over that. They could easily cover all the best characters in around 30 figures over the span of 2-3 years. Yet instead they've allowed one of their all time biggest toy brands to flounder in the last few years due to poor reception of the last GI Joe film.

Agreed. GI Joe has a plethora of available characters ready to be made in 6-inch scale. Just imagine Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Destro, Duke, Baroness, Scarlett, Storm Shadow, Dodger, Zartan... Accessories, alternate hands and heads, small vehicles (maybe to be assembled in BAF fashion), etc.

So much potential for collectors, so much money to be made by Hasbro. I really don't understand why this is not a reality yet.

I wonder if Hasbro reads these posts. What I'm seeing is that there is definitely a market for 1/12 scale GI Joe figures. Star Wars black series figures were a success but, the market for those figures has cooled off a bit. It may pick up a bit when figs for the new movie come out but, collectors are hungry for something new & different. After all how many Darth Vaders does one need? There is a huge untapped market in the GI Joe figures. I know I would be very interested in Black Series style GI Joe figures. Seems like a no brainier to me.

Me too, V figs would be dope.
