I consider myself a G.I. Joe collector. I still have all of my Joes and vehicles from the 80’s, and I collect the videos, comic books, and even the cheap G.I. Joe knock offs from India (the cheap knock-offs from India are quite close to the quality of the “new” joes).
The fact that Hasbro is re-releasing the original joes with the original cover art is quite pleasing (I’m sure that Hasbro is going for the nostolgic father market who are trying to find an excuse to buy joes again). What is NOT pleasing is the absolute lack of Quality control: I noticed that the paint was inconsistant and sloppy, the plastic cheap, and the figures far too fragile. I am also not a fan of the updated look to the figurines…some are decent and some are plain ridiculous and out of porportion.
Here is is an idea for Hasbro…use the same cover art, the same original characters, with the same molds and plastic.
