Remember when G.I.Joe wasn't a serious Collector hobby

Prior to the 25th Anniversary of G.I. Joe, Hasbro marketed G.I. Joe's from 1997-2006 too jerks, cool dudes (Smash The State, it's loyal readers and a few other non jerks), some angry guys, and the nostalgic. This meant that Hasbro mainly focused on making a bunch of awful figures, lying too fans and occasionally doing something good. So there main audience was people who belived they "Really tried hard too make a figure I didn't belive that I would enjoy" as well as people who blew their money on joes because it was an easy thing to collect.

Nowadays, G.I. Joe is serious fucking business, which means not only are they still making awful figures and lying too the fans, but now they've decided to make nerds lose more money, by producing garbage like this:



That's a mighty Mugg, I have no idea what the fuck a Mighty Mugg is, but i'm sure some moron is gonna fork money over for it because G.I. Joe is now SERIOUS GODDAMN BUSINESS AND YOU GOTTA GET TWO OF EVERYTHING (One to open and put on a shelf and another to tack too your wall or put on a hook to make your house look like a fucking Wal Mart)

There's another stupid type of thing like this but I can't remember what they're called, but I do know they're godawful too and this type of expansion is only making this line easier and easier too ignore, back in the good old days of stuff we complained about but would take back in a heart beat this shit wouldn't fly
