G.I. Joe 3 3/4 Re-Issue?

One of my International dealers sent me some Images today of 3 3/4 Cobra Troops in Boxes I have never seen. Can anybody help me out on this.

Wow....in all the years I've been collecting, I've never seen a Crimson Guard/Crimson Guard Commander in that style packaging. I wonder if those are going to be released here?

hhhmmm very intriguing....... I doubt that Hasbro would do anything like that.... But those Might be this years Con exclusives from MC, being the 25th and all I bet they are planning something big like this. And the boxs are kind of cool, I am just curious why CG Commander, never really cared for the mold, but I bet it is still in hasbro's inventory for MC to use.

And another little item that I doubt hasbro would do, but MC would is the little Battle Corps emblem in the GI Joe line on the CGC box.

They look pretty cool. If they are actual releases, I hope the CGC gets a new paint job.

Another thought is maybe Hasbro is doing a Classics line similiar to the treatment they did with TF?

Those look like repro custom boxes.
I could be wrong, but those boxes don't look too sturdy at all, and look like someone printed them off their printer, taped em up, and that was it.
I've got a few TF custom boxes, and they look flimsy like those boxes do.
I could be wrong though, but with Hasbro releasing new 25th figures, that everyone seems to love, why would they take 2 steps back and re-release old figures?
I am going to say they are custom boxes.

Hey Destro, are these for sale somewhere? And if so, how much?

I gotta agree with Dream...they look like custom boxes to me, nothing more. Especially because they're old school figures in there...

Does NOT look like any kind of new release item to me of any kind.

if they had new figs in them i would believe it but as everyone said it looks like a custom to me too.

They might have been an idea that was tossed around, but didn't make the cut. Just a theory, based on the sheer number of ideas that get scrapped during pitch sessions.

Looks like unused concepts for the last half of Battle Corps. Maybe an unused convention exclusive.
