Considering Hasbro is likely making him in China these days, Why Not?

If we can bag on Mattel for manufacturing in China, why not bag on Hasbro for letting this happen?

Hasbro was one of the first firms to use Asian labor right from day one of G.I. Joe. The originals were molded in Hong Kong and most of the clothes and accessories involved extensive handwork too expensive to make in their U.S. plants. G.I. Joe was the catalyst for Hasbro to make the jump to international manufacturing back in 1964.

Sorry, folks, but G.I. Joe always was, in reality, a soldier from east Asia.
