IMO, the market forces are too great for Hasbro to keep GI Joe 3.75" going forever, despite the strong loyalty of fans. Action figures as a whole are selling less and less each year replaced by XBoxes and Playstations. Star Wars 3.75" figures are starting to fade, and with the end of all the Star Wars movies, the pressure of cheap imitations from China, I don't see any reason to think that the GI Joe 3.75" line will continue forever. The reason that Hasbro may have even re-designed and brought out the 25th Anniversary guys is for collectors--- I doubt they really have any great visions of sales beyond the core collectors and a few other impulse shoppers.
