Alternatively, you can work for one of their licensees and introduce your ideas there (such as what DDP did when they introduced Kamakura and Wraith), and hope that they become popular enough that it goes back up the corporate ladder and catches their attention.

I'm pretty sure Hasbro doesn't accept unsolicited materials for their toy designs. Your best bet for getting in on the GI Joe design team would be to apply for a position in art/design/engineering with the company, and, if you get hired, hope that you get assigned to the group that handles the GI Joe property.

Don't send anything to Larry without asking him first - he's just the writer on one of the books. You'd need to send any submissions to IDW, preferably an editor. A book's writer doesn't, generally speaking, have the power or the authority to do anything with a submission, and if he had something similar in the works and you show him yours, there's the whole question of who inspired whom. If he's open to it, sure, but anything unsolicited could cause problems for both of you in the long run.

Thanks! I've only gotten into it in the last 6 months or so, almost entirely thanks to people here on the 'Tank.

Andy Schmidt is the editor of the Joe line for IDW.
Go to IDW's website and read their submissions policy. ALOT of comic companies aren't taking "off the street" (unsoliciated) submissions anymore, not sure if IDW does or not. Absolutely DO NOT send anything to a writer or artist. especially if it's new concepts. Something using the writer/artists established characters is okay. Also, chances of IDW using unsoliciated character designs is pretty slim. They'd take things from in-house or Hasbro first. Anything new would have to go thru them to Hasbro then back again and there would be copyright issues, liscensing fees, having to "buy" the character, etc.. Not trying to crush the dream or anything, sorry. Your best bet is to produce the concepts as your own thing. Write and draw your own comic with the concepts. Or even use them in some kind of Joe Fan Fiction and post that on the web. That's the best chance of it getting seen. Anything comics related, you have to break into the biz and work your way up before can start dishing out concepts. I've tried.
