HOT TOYS GIJOE Retaliation petition.

[thenammagazine]

same as yours on a marketing study.

Let's talk about marketing study, because clearly this is a market you know absolutely NOTHING about. The majority of Joe collectors don't want to pay more than $29.99 for something. They scoff at the $120-$170 price of Sideshow's 1:6 figures. They'll laugh Hot Toys into bankruptcy over $250 Joe figures. This is THE target audience we're talking about. Do a little bit of research before you post things like you did. It'll make you look smarter. Hisstank.com is a good place to start.

Not if you think Retaliation is better than anything

I never said that.

So, it will make me smarter to read hisstank.com?

you dont know me. Just respect my opinion as I respect yours.

 

[JAROTO]

Wrong!

Retaliation is better than anything!

You can have any opinion you'd want. That doesn't make it right and in this case, it isn't. But I can respect the fact that you're wrong, if that's what you're asking.

So everything has to degenerate into an either/or thing now does it?

It doesn't matter what "GI Joe fans" like to spend. Retaliation is a movie and if it draws a fanbase simply on its merits as a movie then high end movie collectors will want figures and statues.

Look at CA:TFA. Cap as a superhero was never a real fan favorite on the level of Superman or Wolverine outside of diehards like myself. Then they go and make a sweet movie and people come out of the woodwork snatching up HT and preordering PF figures. There's no reason not to believe the same would hold true for Retaliation IF it turns out to be good.

I would love a Hot Toys Barbie.

I would love a Hot Toys Barbie too!

 

[Buttmunch]

At least you admit it

You're incorrectly comparing it to a market that fully supports high-end collectibles though. Marvel does. Joes... not so much.

I understand the fact that you are boring.

 

[thenammagazine]

I understand the fact that you are boring.

And I understand the fact that you're delusional.

All Retaliation has to do is be as good as Expendables or Predators and people will want to buy $200 figures from it.

The Rock as Roadblock > Sly as Barney Ross

Well, this thread is clearly going nowhere. Thread closed.
