G.I. Joe News Coming Out of Toy Fair 2007

Tazzzman · 02-10-2007, 11:16 PM

Thanks for the info, it is good to see that vehicles are going to planing on coming out for 3/3/4 right? Perhaps we will see a few at the con or at SDCC first. I was wondering about the S6 line if the name was going to continue or now, they do not seem to have any more cartoons coming out right now. As for the ASnniversary line, the logo looks cool, the figures look great. My only question is, will they be showing any more figures that will be coming out. Also thanks for the info on the Cobra Trooper, it is good to hear that they are planning on releasing him in single card too. Is there more information to still look forward to at Toy Fair (any more images?)

The Sigma 6 line is going to continue, there are many new figures for the standard line that were not shown. The main reason was the Transformers Movie line was the main focus. I did not ask about the cartoon but I can find that out on Sunday. I would think with the huge focus on Sigma 6 we would get another season.

There are more pics on the way and more info so stop by on Sunday and ill keep everybody up-to-date!

Thanks for the info about the S6 line as well as the info on 3/3/4 vehicles and we all look forward to more pics, thanks again for the reply.

Thanks for the reporting. Good news that Sigma 6 will continue, I don't collect the figures but I like the theme a lot. If you can find out if the Sigma 6 Anime is going to continue could you find out if Studio GONZO will continue to animate it?

I'm happy for all the blue-shirt fans out there that the new COBRA Trooper will be release as a single I think that's a very smart move on Hasbro's part. Although now I wonder if we'll get any more COBRA troop-types?

The 2.5" line's passing I have to say I'm pleased about if simply that it means there might be hope for the continuation of the 3.75" line. However if vehicles for the 25th Annv. line are possible I hope Hasbro recycles the vehicle designs of the 2.5" because most of them KICKED ASS.

That is a great question and hopefully this can be answered. The vehicles were great in that line (except for the face that they did not fit 3/3/4 figures). I am sure that if they wanted to they could re-tool the cockpits of each of the 2.5 molds. Only time will tell. 3/3/4 vehicles nonetheless is great news.

No I don't mean 'retool the cockpits' I mean the whole vehicle. Increase each one, the entire machine, in size to fully accomodate 3.75" figures. Hasbro used 3.75" vehicle designs like the RHINO Chopper, HISS V, ROCC, Sting Raider, and Defense Mech and made 2.5" scale size versions. Why not make 3.75" scale versions of the Firebat, VAMP, Street Razor, Dune Runner, Steel Hammer and others? A better idea then risk Hasbro making new stuff from scratch and the 3.75" fans wind up with another Neutrailzer or Battle Hornet.

Ahh, I get what you are saying, that might be a far fetched request for HASBRO to re-size all of the 2.5 into 3/3/4 size, but nonetheless that would be cool. I am thinking that they will either re-make some of their classic vehicles or perhaps make new ones down the line. I look forward to hearing more about this and perhaps seeing something at SDCC or GIJCC convention later this year.

That would be great, although it would put a major strain on my wallet. I always thought some of the Sigma Six designs would look great as 3 3/4 figures. Cobra Commander would look great. Maybe they could even release some of the DTC wave 4 figures although I would rather see them make those figures with the new 25th Anniversary design.

Well, The news is great for 3-3/4 and S6 8's I am digging what I see so far can't wait to see the final product of the 25th figures. As for 2.5 bummer they had some cool vehicle's but thats all i can say about'em....anyways 07 is looking good.

Well I just got done the world tour of Toy Fair itself ( Hasbro Is Not Located At The Main Halls) and I did not see anything at all for G.I. Joe out on the floor from anybody including diamond select, first 4 figures ect....

Plenty of new Transformers info is about to go up on www.tfw2005.com so go check that out.

Im going to head over to the Hasbro Building in a little while to do another tour and maby get somemore info out of the reps. Check back in a few hours to see what may come out of that.
