People scoff at me, but I still say the AT theme could be relevant at retail. Toss in a few RAH characters like Flint or Firefly to pull in the RAH fans and mix in cool animals, dios, jeeps, bikes, boats etc and I think kids would love it.

With the right support behind it, absolutely. Any kid would like the adventure premise, and some parents would appreciate the less violent nature of it. Collectors of regular GI Joe would also like the neat diorama-ready accessories and customizers can always use new parts or old parts in new combinations and colors.

I could not agree more! Most people (especially parents) are against toys that promote war and violence; the Adventure Team line was more geared to exploration. Hasbro could create a new toy line using the existing toy models from the GI Joe line and create a new Adventure Team series at retail. This line would be perfect for those people whom do not like toys based upon war.

I totally agree the Adventures could be endless. Recovery, Rescue, Capture, Spy, Discover, etc. they can pertain to treasures, artifacts, endangered species, advanced technology, lost technology, and on an on.

This is badass, I'm not familiar with the dimension size for the AT logo, what size logo is that?

Here's the AT Image link:

I scaled it down to a 1/8" dia with the printer setting options. That way you don't lose the image resolution when it's printed.
