Great article! Nice work, Scramble!
I'm still scratching my head over this line, though: "GI Joe was a monkey in a judo-trained chimpanzee..." Uhm... what?
But, again, superb story and glad to see Joes are soldiering on in many different ways!

Scramble wrote an interesting article about the diversity of the GI Joe line, both historically, and the upcoming lineup vs other "boys toys" lines. https://geekdad.com/2016/06/heresshooter/ |

A very interesting article that was worth the time I spent reading it . Well done Scramble. GI Joe's diversity is why I'm still a fan 30+ (! Crikey !) Years later and why I'm on this board despite not having bought a joe figure at retail in years. It wasn't that I was LOOKING for diversity or a particular type of character in my favourite toy line . GI Joe simply had characters that looked like me and all of my friends in addition to great poseability and designs for the time . It's also why GI Joe won the toy war against transformers (no human element), He Man (lack of poseability and low ethnic diversity ) and star wars (same as He Man) in my house. All of Joe's cast of characters looked like the people I interacted with as a kid . Even shirtless Gung Ho lol |

At the very least, looking at the photos in this article, I can see why some people have said that the heads of the new female figures look too small. I'm still not sure I agree with this, as the female figures overall are distinctly smaller in height and build than the male figures. The heads do look a bit small, but might be okay given the overall size and proportions of the figures. And these could well be prototypes. I suppose we'll see when they actually arrive in the stores. |
