Problem is GI Joe figures don't exist outside of the club at all. The fact there still aren't any 3.75" figures out there doesn't bode well for anything 6" coming. The Star Wars collectors have a very vocal 3.75" community, but there are many who love the 6". You got an untapped market at this point of 3.75" Joe collectors, and at least in my opinion GI Joe is the king of 3.75" figures. If the line that started super posable 3.75 figures unable to get modern super posable 3.75" out to market 6" isn't a risk Hasbro will take.

Also part of the reason GI Joe, a number of times in the past, became difficult to sell to retailers was the changing political climate on guns and war. Things today are worse than before, you got hoardes of online lynch mobs ready to tear Hasbro's image down for selling an entire toy line surrounded around war and including realistic weapons with thier figures. The last thing Hasbro needs is an attack because they included an AR-15 looking rifle with a toy. Look at Marvel Legends! We got all these goofy Nerf guns with most figures. Spider-Man Noir came with space guns instead of real world guns.
