Paul, Rob, and Cujo talk about the recent Toy Fair New York. Their personal highlights of the show, and more importantly GI Joe Classified: the new 6-inch toy line from Hasbro. We hope everyone has a blast with us, especially Steve, who finally gets his wish: an episode he can listen to ear unheard. :D

What I hate about Hasbro's six inch line is that they charge $20 for them no matter what franchise. The SW and Marvel ones make sense at about $15 including the license fees from Disney. But Joe's and Ghostbusters are much cheaper license fees especially Joe since Hasbro owns that. Yet, they still charge as much as a SW or Marvel figure. And they don't come with enough accessories for $20. I can get plenty of six inch scale weapons for $20 AND get at least four 1/18 scale vehicles with it.

Yeah SW is treading water. For me, they keep messing up by overcharging for everything. That new Slave I is an old mold and they're reusing it and charging twice as much for it. But then they make a new vehicle like the troop carrier and it's cheaper despite needing a completely new sculpt/mold. But the troop carrier is still $70 and that's about $30 more than it's worth. It's hard to be a collector AND and adult.

I'm excited about the Ghostbusters figures too.

You guys aren't used to hearing me be happy for anything coming out from Hollywood/Netflix people, but that Siege Trilogy show looks badass. I saw the trailer expecting to have another headache over something I love from childhood, but no. I was actually happy and excited about this show. It's a weird feeling to have after not having it since probably Boondocks Saints 2 in 2009 came out. 😅

I'm going to say it: a woman over a boy's toyline is a miatake. Hasbro is going to do to Joe what Disney did to Wars and Marvel: take it from a boy oriented toyline/franchise and make it unisex for money. I'm all for Hasbro making money, but not by changing the property that much. Make a line for girls like I am Elemental did. And not that I have a problem with women. I just want some space from women and I'm tired of them having to be included in all the stuff guys try to make guys only. I'm not invading their space and demanding the same. I'd appreciate some reciprocation.

Pretty sure if Sarge was SV it would have come out a long time ago. The Marines don't let people impersonate them like that, that publicly.
