After getting hooked on Hasbro's Super Hero Squad
toys, I guess it's only natural for me to also like the squadies'
American cousins: the G.I. Joe Combat Heroes. These figures have been on
the shelves for years but they don't seem to be selling all that well. I
think that today's kids aren't really familiar with the G.I. Joe brand
as a whole and when you couple that fact with a very steep price range,
then you have the recipe for a sure-fire toy aisle stinker. I know it's a
bit harsh but that's the truth and trust me, I don't like it too! As a
huge G.I. Joe fan, I want the property to succeed but there are things
beyond our control and we, as collectors, can only do so much to help
propel the brand. So, let's talk about the toys and see why they
actually deserve some appreciation!
