Hasbro's G.I. JOE Q&A Session: The Answers!
Posted by Curto on January 15, 2010 at 03:33 PM CST:


As part of Hasbro's bi-monthly Q&A session, Cool Toy Review passed on 3 of your burning questions and now we've got the answers for you.

Cool Toy Review: While I do really enjoy the upcomming Snowjob from the POC line, I have to ask how many Snowjobs are too many? From my count, starting from the 25th anniversary line there have been 5 releases of him including exclusives. What about Frostbite, Blizzard, Iceberg, Lifeline, and especially Low-Light? Same thing goes for Scrap-Iron, I count 5 releases for him including exclusives. How about moving on to some of the missing Dreadnoks?

Hasbro: We try to keep new G.I. Joe fans familiar with popular characters. It's important to reintroduce these characters as they are core to the story and have significant meaning and heritage. We want to make sure G.I. Joe remains relevant for all ages of consumers. Although we have no plans for the missing Dreadnoks, we do have a new Storm Rider with a Doom Cycle vehicle. Look out for him later this year as part of the Pursuit of Cobra line.

Cool Toy Review: Are there any plans to release characters in regular clothes, like Destro/McCullen SDCC 2009 and Cobra Commander SDCC 2008 in the main line instead of as exclusives? These figures appeal to Joe fans and also to customizers, but these limited-release exclusives fetch crazy prices on the secondary market.

Hasbro: We have no plans to release these as mainline items. They were designed specifically for exclusives because we know collectors and customizers enjoy these types of figure.

Cool Toy Review: Also, any plans in releasing stands with labels like you do for Star Wars? I can't help but feel the figures without the stands are incomplete.

Hasbro: Our single figures do include stands but we have no plans to include labels or add to the vehicle segments.
