Question: if the first two G.I. Joe films had no bearing on the development & release of a MOTU film, why would the performance of the third installment in the G.I. Joe series be the difference-maker?

I don't know, Arkangel - you're asserting proof of a negative here. If there's no evidence of something's existence, then it is of course likely that no one knows it exists... I'd be willing to bet...
I have been following the mystery of this figure for some time, and two things keep striking me (the following is all purely conjecture):
1) It seems to be an article of faith at this point that...
There is a mid-80s Jackie Chan movie from China in which the climactic scene takes place in some department store, presumably in Hong Kong. In a few sequences, you can see MOTU merchandise hanging...
I have also had similar dreams, though I usually find carded Super Powers (the 1984-1986 DC line by Kenner) and/or carded Batman/DC Comics Super Heroes (the 1989 Batman film lines and Super Powers...
MOTU is, to a certain degree, doomed by what it is. I consider myself a casual fan of the franchise, but that's not really accurate: if I am one of the several hundred people checking this forum...
I know it wouldn't constitute proof by any means, but I continue to be amazed that no one out there has ever come forward and at least CLAIMED to remember exactly where they got their savage He-Man...

Man, I so had this Christmas. Still remember it. I opened package after package - it seemed to go on forever - and in them was one He-Man figure after another. I remember I even "found" one more...
For some reason when I was a kid, I had no interest in seeing the live action MOTU movie. It just looked bad to me or something. So, I never did see it - until my wife and I got Netflix earlier...
I have to say, this whole mystery has captured my fascination, and I was unaware thre even was any question until an hour ago.
It's ashame I never got one of these as a kid; if I had, I can tell...
That's Filmation studios at its finest, I'm afraid.
It is? Just cause the dude is bare-chested? Or am I not getting internet sarcasm?
I mean, let's be honest, one way a potential movie might go - and I'm sure this is an unspoken fear of many on...
Hello all, relatively new poster here. I wanted to throw in my two cents, because I think I am an interesting test case for the basic problem. On the one hand, I am exactly the target demographic...
