Lines like this are about nostalgia aimed at Gen Xers. Regular fantasy genre lovers aren't going to plunk $18 each for figures that look worse than Happy Meal toys. Those people are probably buying Four Horseman's series or something.

So in that regard, there could be a GI JOE line like this (as in retro 80's character designs), but Hasbro isn't willing to let that happen in such a format. Brian Flynn said he had many ideas for GI JOE, but it seems Hasbro isn't willing. But supposedly Hasbro's GI JOE will come back in some form in 2020.
