Childhood toys of G.I.Joe movie stars

August 30, 2009 | By Juliana Heng In Toy observations |

Here’s an interview of the 2 female leads from the recent G.I.Joe movie. The interesting parts are at the very beginning where Sienna Miller (The Baroness) reveals that she played with My Little Ponies (she named this first!) and of course the typical Barbie during her childhood. Rachel Nichols (Scarlett) played with Barbie, and often used her brother’s G.I.Joe dolls to be ‘boyfriends’ to her Barbie dolls, LOL!

Then they talked about how Hasbro did face scans of them to make the G.I.Joe movie action figures. I do agree that it feels kinda freaky to have little toys made in your supposed likeness. While most people buy them as toys or collectibles, Lord knows what some people would use them for, LOL!

Of course they also talked about the filming of the movie, some behind the scenes incidents that took place and other trivia. I saw the movie and it was quite enjoyable. The toys are still sold everywhere and I feel tempted to get a few if there is a sale. But somehow, Hasbro has made them price controlled items. Hence I’ll wait for Christmas time where the chances of a sale on such Hasbro movie toys would be greater!
