Q5: We understand Plan A stood to make just 25 figures for the 25th. Now it does not to make financial sense to stop such a good thing at 25, much less, 62. Kenner’s Star Wars collection stopped at 200+ figures.
That number didn’t halt Hasbro from gunning for its 1,000th Star Wars figure in the close future of that new collection. Â Taking cues from that, can we too see G.I.Joe’s new anniversary collection continue on and on? Via his own “Legacy Line,” with his own “Expanded Universe” waves of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s Joes? Giving something new to all of Joe’s broad base of fans (as Star Wars did with their broad base of fans spanning the movies, comics, and cartoons) all coalesced in this new 3.75 format? Reaching such a broad base, can maybe have Joe reach its 1000th figure. And, afford Joe’s own BMF-like Millennium Falcon, the U.S.S. Flagg - even if its just available during Christmas time. Like a Walmart or Target exclusive, as exemplified in the latter’s Christmas re-release of Star Wars “Emperor’s Shuttle,” of which sold-out so quickly just a few years back just as a Christmas-time exclusive. Come on. Wadduya say?
A: The short term plan is to continue the classic line until the movie line debuts in 2009. After the movie, we will look into all options, including an expanded universe. As for a large key driver item we are looking into all expressions for movie and will have more info in the coming year.
Question 4 makes Snow Job sad.....so sad.
Question 5 was the best question ever, and ties into a thread I made a week ago or so. Although, the answer was kinda meh. "..looking into all expressions for
MOVIE
"? The question had nothing to do with the movie. It had everything to do with the vintage characters and toys. It asked about larger scale vehicles like the USS Flagg, not movie stuff. Come on.
