I know last year they did the "Then & Now" with O-Ring Snow Job, the Battle Bear, the Rockslide, and new-style Snow Job, and I heard Rumors of a 1982-esq Hawk, MMS, and their new counterparts but never saw THAT one at retail - only the MMS done in Cobra colors. Does anyone know of any plans Hasbro has to release any more O-Ring Joes besides Snow Job from last year?

And that means that Snow Job will go down in history as the last/most recently made 3 3/4" Joe (since all the 25ths etc. measure closer to 4") made from an original mold.... So I guess it's up to Snow Job to "turn out the lights" - joke's on us I guess.

No, a good amount of the molds were destroyed, not all of them. The Club is even considering one last o-ring set for 2013.

The Then & Now sets they were thinking about were mostly using the comic pk molds not the original molds...so it wouldn't have been the 82 esque look anyways but a comic pk look of the uniform... They did have some test shots of ones but it was only Duke, SE, and Storm Shadow if I remember correctly.. So other than the SK Omega figs and a OCCASIONAL Corp figure or set here and there yea its pretty dead.. Unless Mattel ups their figures with the 70's articulation and starts using O-rings for their super hero lines.. ..yea RIGHT... Mattel sticks with the 5 pts of articulation and thats it.
