Agreed. At the MOST, I can see Hasbro Labs doing some kitbashing of some of the Punisher, Nick Fury, and a few other Marvel Legends to make a limited edition GI Joes 6" set. I really don't see them making a full wave. Their last attempt at the brand was a flop at retail, even with heavy marketing of The Rock on all the packaging. I remember all my local stores pulling the stock off shelves and clearancing them out within a week. Didn't help they released the toys 3 or 4 months before the movie released.

I know lots of fanboys really want it, but I don't think that kids, who ultimately make or break a toy line, really want it. Even Fortnite toys, the closest "modern equivalent" toy line, is now shelfwarming after being the hot commodity for months. Kids want superheroes.
