Yeah, across all boards they seem to be giving really good answers. We were all so tired of the vague b.s., comical as it was.

What prompted the selection of Blowtorch and Croc Master to receive new repaints in the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra waves? Both seem to be odd selections compared to other potential repaints.
Hasbro has produced some impressive new figures that ended up released on either store exclusives or multipacks (the cartoon colored BAT, the 2008 Joe and Cobra 5 packs, the Rise of Cobra TRU exclusive Snow Serpent, even Lt. Falcon in a comic pack). Has the potential of rereleasing some of these figures in the single figure assortment been pursued? Possibly a fan vote? |

Have the third wave of Alpha Vehicles (HISS Scout and Cycle Armor) and second wave of Mechs officially been canceled or can we still expect to find these at retail in the coming months?
Retail support for the Joe line seems to be at a very low point right now, with many Wal-Marts not carrying the line, Target not carrying Bravo vehicles, and some product seemingly skipping mainstream retail channels altogether and going straight to closeout retailers like Ross. Has this affected the plans for the line in 2011 and beyond? |

A) We have to be very careful about releasing exclusives in mainline. One of the reasons that we can call them exclusives is the fact that they can't be found anywhere else. While we may release similar figures and vehicles, the chances are you won't see the same ones as in the exclusive packs. |

Since no one else has posted I will have a go at it. I hope it isn't too late.
1.)The San Diego Comic Con Sgt. Slaughter was produced in very limited quantities and being a highly demanded figure was hard to come by. Can we expect the same for Zarana and the Starscream Skystricker? 2.)Figures in the Pursuit of Cobra line have been broken down into themes. Can we expect this to continue and possible expand upon it with some of the franchises sub-groups like Tiger Force, Sky Patrol, Night Force, Python Patrol, etc.? 3.)We've seen the repaint of the H.I.S.S. V5 as a Crimson H.I.S.S. but can we expect to see remolds of the newer vehicles like new weapons (example a missile launcher to turn the V.A.M.P. into a Stinger). 4.)There is always a lot of talk about characters that fans would like to see updated. Does some of this play into how you decide who to update and how do you decide which old character to update? 5.)When designing a new mold do you consider how that figures parts can be used for future figures or is it more of and after thought, just picking parts for characters from existing molds that might work? 6.)In the past few years we've seen new molds being used for exclusives at SDCC and not being reused. Can we expect this to continue? 7.)Will the 30th Anniversary be like the 25th with a heavy focus on the ARAH line or will we see more characters and designs taken from IDW, the SpyTroops line, and maybe even Sigma 6? 8.)The Joes haven't had many troop builders but in recent years we have gotten the Green Shirts, various Pit Commandos, and the upcoming Steel Brigade. Have you thought about beefing up the Joe Team with more troop builders or are you focusing more on the individuals? 9.)For the first four waves of Pursuit of Cobra we haven't had any variant figures like with the 25th Anniversary line but waves five and six will. Will we see more in the future? 10.)Why is the Pursuit of Cobra H.I.S.S. designated Version 5? The G.I. Joe vs. Cobra H.I.S.S. has the designation of Version 4 but the Direct to Customer H.I.S.S. which was also a new mold has no such designation but would be implied to be the fifth version. Was this version of the H.I.S.S. overlooked or was the H.I.S.S. III retconed out?

Backdrops to the Joe Universe historically have come to us with playsets. Recently Hasbro gave us the added bonus of backgrounds in the packaging which could be easily shaped and formed into diorama's. My son and I love the playsets and backdrops, but we also like the other small things Hasbro has added to the figures by means of accessories. These items have really helped flesh out the fantasy universe: tiki masks, bear traps, constantina wire, bomb robots, etc... Trust me, there is a lot. For example, when I though I didn't need another snake eyes, you see one with a new mask packaged with him, making it a must have. What is the thought process behind the accessories we get wich don't necessarily have to be character specific, and with the way some pieces are being released are we seeing an unnoficial "build-a-playset" without knowing or realizing it?

why did wave 4 cases not see a canadian card release? this has severely reduced the number of wave 4 figures available to canadians. wave 4 cases where 3 of each of the 4 figures. the US carded revision cases being sold in canada don't have destro or shadow tracker. did you not take this into consideration when deciding not to give us wave 4 cases? |

Wouldnt that be the stores fault for not ordering and distributing or displaying them? If anything, maybe Hasbro needs to start putting out commercials to ramp up more interest in their toy lines like the 30th anniversary GI Joe line, Marvel Universe and whatever other toy lines they are producing. I dont remember seeing any GI Joe toy commercials in a very long time or any Marvel commercials.
I would like to see a wider range of GI Joe figures made with more POC styled older figures as well.

General's Joes - Dio-Stories and Figure Reviews
This is a good repository for the Q and As. They were actually pretty helpful and honest - and even a little playful - with their answers. The 7 pack responses were the most interesting - looks like they may very well be coming and if so will be classic figures. |

Have you considered allowing all future convention exclusives to be available for preorder before the event? They were on HasbroToyShop so it would not be a further contradiction of the term "exclusive" by makeing them available beforehand. There are many loyal GiJoe collectors that get burned by being too far from San Diego or not having enough computers in one room to place an order on Tuesday morning at 11:45 am.
I am sorry I can't get past this and I know it may be getting old. They may have already answered a question like this for all I know. But this is the only big issue I have right now. The new figures and packaging looks great. The designs and accessories are awesome . I had all the Joe exclusives in my cart multiple times before noon on that Tuesday in July but the site would not let me proceed to checkout. Now how many Joe collectors feel like they missed out by not getting Sgt. Slaughter, Pimp Destro, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Zarana at a fair price? Please consider submitting my first question even if it needs to be re-phrased. |
