Looks like Hasbro is looking to start the New Year off with some AWESOME G.I. JOE NEWS! According to the new issue of the G.I.Joe Collectors Club Magazine, Mark Weber is the new Brand Manager for G.I. Joe! Fresh off his role on the Transformers Brand where he was chiefly responsible for the Generations and Construct-Bots, as well as most exclusive products.

In his first interview we get our first confirmation that G.I. Joe will be alive and well in 2015!

"For the most part, our biggest plans will be centered around future entertainment - the kind of stuff I can't talk about just yet. We are finalizing our 2015 plans and expect to deliver a lineup constructively similar to 2014 - with popular characters and vehicles, as well as a few NEW Surprises. If things go as planned, we will have an update to reveal at JoeCon in Springfield."

"We want to have stronger, more consistent dialogue with the collectors and fans. We want collectors to have NEW vehicles and playsets to energize the brand to a new generation of kids and a fantastic new feature film that is faithful to the soul of the brand (action, fun, weapons, vehicles). Two things I want to prioritize right away - I want to enable and simplify army building for Collectors, and I want the file cards to be brilliant for our characters."

Sound off about this exciting news for G.I. Joe in 2015 after the jump.... [Read More]
