As you may have been following, Hasbro has been hit with a toy slump. Their cash cow known as "Star Wars" isn't selling due to the newer movies lacking popularity (being polite), so there is little interest in buying the toys. Star Wars was chosen over Joe, as Hasbro wanted to focus on that toy line as it had a strong media presence and popularity that Hasbro didn't have to work at. So they are releasing retro Star Wars figures at Target to keep the rights and to make some money. The SW community has mixed feelings about the subject. Any how, while Disney tries to fix the SW issue, a new Joe movie "Snake Eyes" is being produced. This will lead to movie related figures, but possible to retro RAH Joes and even trickle some 12" love. I can't wait to see what happens. I know the character is going to be hard to capture in the movie as he had over 35 years of development.
PS.. I have seen any of the newer Star Wars movies..but I read all the gripes. LOL. Poor Hans Solo.
