Big Lob Makes His Move! Yo Joe!
Over at BSCkids I put up a brief news item about the G.I. JOE Collectors’ Club membership figures for next year. Since the only G.I. JOE I acknowledge is 3 ¾ molds from the A Real American Hero Line (and O-ring only, baby), I don’t have much to look forward to anymore as Hasbro has been focusing on their new molds (the ones you see in your stores now), which I have absolutely no beef with and hope the best for, but are not at all a personal interest of mine. In some sense it’s a positive as I’m able to be comprehensive (if I choose to be) in my pick-ups each year due to the limited options/supply. I am not an expert on the Collector’s Club. I have a ton of the product they’ve put out, and while I’ve certainly heard the back-and-forth and pros and cons on the club (and Master Collector) on several online message boards, I can only really talk about the product from the perspective of JOE fan, who also isn’t a toymaker or an aspiring one.
