Hasbro Q & A-Round 4

[General Scarlett]

Alright gang, you know the drill..........

Post up the questions you'd like me to send to Hasbro..........


We've got until Sunday night (they're due on Monday, so I'm going to send them out before bed Sunday night)

[ender098]

1.) It was mentioned at the convention that there would be 25th Anniversary vehicles, but how can you make vehicle for action figures that can't sit down?

2.) When can we expect Mastercollector to be offering DTC wave 4?

[Flint]

Ok he's mine.

1. Is there any Chance for Playsets?

2. How about the Rest of the Sunbow cartoons will they ever get released on DVD?

3. Is there any chance you'll be making 5-pack of Joe vehicle Drivers (Clutch, Ace, Wild-Bill, Cutter, Heavy-Metal, Etc)?

[viper08]

1. Any chance of a Cobra-La comeback, for example Cobra-La convention set?

2. Where are the tenative locations for 2008 GiJoe Convention?

i can answer a few of these question from the interviews ive read from hasbro reps.

1.) It was mentioned at the convention that there would be 25th Anniversary vehicles, but how can you make vehicle for action figures that can't sit down?
[COLOR=Red] i have read in more then one interview that the sitting problem will be fixed by wave 4, if not wave 3. the first thing they are trying is thinning out the hip.[/COLOR]

1. Is there any Chance for Playsets?
[COLOR=Red]also in an interview there will be a chance for playsets once the movie draws closer. nothing is planed until then.[/COLOR]

2. How about the Rest of the Sunbow cartoons will they ever get released on DVD?
[COLOR=Red]unless this has changed there are no plans for now. although i have read that it is something they may look into for the future

keep in mind these are interviews i have read and as time passes these could chage. here are my questions
(1) i myself would like to know more about our chances of a new cartoon. i have herd mention of this in one interview, but nothing solid.
(2)i know that stalkers color was sent back to the factories and fixed. i also know that serpentor was not made as he was planned. is there a chance to see a redo of serpentor and some of the other characters who came out wrong. or will the only redo's we get be ten thousand more snake eyes, cobra commanders and storm shadows?[/COLOR]

I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but I want to know if Hasbro has permanently abandoned the traditional o-ring style construction. Will we ever get new o-ring figures aside from convention sets?

[G.I.*Jock]

Yup... Where are the o-rings? :eek:

And...

Where are the Operation MOTH Vehicles? :eek: Hasbro must know something about it even though they are Collectors Club exclusives?

D :D

[Jay]

Gah.
I missed this topic. Wanted to ask about the possibility of GIJoe Transformers in a similar vein as the Star Wars Transformers (only not as restrained to vehicles transforming to poorly engineered mechas that ressemble their pilots)...

Next time, I suppose...

[General Scarlett]

Uncle Flint, Dave and Jay-


Hold these questions until the next round.......December.


The questions were sent off last night. I'll post the answers up here when I get them.....STAY TUNED!!! :cool:

[Sonneilon]

FRAK! I forgot to get in on this one!!!

[General Scarlett]

There's always December...........hold your questions until that time...... ;)

From what I heard over at YoJoe, the 25th Anniversary body construction style is only body construction style they will be using from now on. The only O-Ring body construction style figures will be released through Master Collector

They should just rename this thing "The GI Joe Magic 8-Ball..."

[viper08]
