So in looking at the concept vault Hasbro obviously has talented people working in the design teams. They also apparently know what many of us would like. My question is whats stopping them from becoming actual product. Is it Paramount, Is it sales, whos dropping the ball?

So the various execs probably demanded retalation inspired toys and cheap drivers for the vehicles. (Same thing happened with ROC/POC but at that time the design team was able to succesfully push for fully articulated drivers with limited paint apps.

If not a single of those concepts hit before or on March of next year- I'm out.

They need to take some chances or they need to expand the brand a bit. My idea for releasing the Ninja stuff is calling it Snake Eyes Sides Story which only deals with ninja stuff. Dont even have a Gi Joe logo anywhere, just sell it as ninja toys, people will buy it. And if they are scare... just call it Ninja Force II and have it as a wave of regular JOE toys.
Screw it, have Echo Warriors! Bring back all the craziness. It's all about having fun and putting out a good product.
