Ninjas ruined GI Joe for me.
99% of Joe was military vehicles and guys running around with guns.
Wasn't Ninja Force near the demise of the run anyway?
Yep, I was speaking more generally about Ninjas. The reason they did NF was the popularity of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
Occasionally when I payed with my SE & SS, they would don swords (they would use them for stealth kills) but mostly I had guys with guns and vehicles, that's what it was all about for me.
Two other things I think brought down RAH was the color choices, and the stupid action gimmicks they started to include.
And Hasbro hasn't stopped the madness, the latest Snake Eyes, V.53, has a god damn Tornado Kick gimmick:

I was cherrypicking by that point. Only picked up the Street Fighter figures because I worked at an arcade at the time (Blanca and Guile were the best but essentially Road Pig recasts).
Hisstank has a new extended preview on their homepage today. I'm not going to bother to post the link. It really does not look good. Only Snake Eyes is remotely recognizable.
I see the Hub doing Cobra "commercials" in the spirit of the Umbrella Corp. teasers for those god aweful Resident Evil movies.
blasphemer!
j/k. man, i love those movies. they are total guilty pleasure.
