If you have links to other sites post them in this thread for round 4 Q &A.

Cool Toy Review: With the recent fan favorite poll recently completed here at Cool Toy Review, it looks like the results show that you're right on track with what the fans have chosen. Were there any characters that surprised you?
Hasbro: No real suprises. It feels good to know we are in touch with the fans. Cool Toy Review: Why the choice to make Serpentor without the cobralike hood? The original simply snapped into the hole in his back. Is there any chance you will include it as an accessory? Hasbro: All I can say is that we have plans for Serpentor and his hood. Cool Toy Review: Are there any plans to make a SCARFACE Cobra soldier? I've been wanting him since he first appeared in the comics back in the 80's and he'd be a welcome addition to the legion of Cobra! Hasbro: Sorry, if we didn't reveal it at JoeCon, you will have to sit tight for a little while longer. Cool Toy Review: I recently pulled a sealed case off of a pallet at Wal-Mart. When I opened it, I noticed that the cardbacks of the figures were bent because the shipping case is not big enough for the figures!!! Why change the cardstock when all that needs fixed is the shipping case size? It just needs to be a little bigger. While you are at it, make it 12 figures per case, with more troopers. Hasbro: Your feedback is heard. We will look into the case pack size. As for 12 figures for case, that will not change.but you will see more troopers in the future. Cool Toy Review: Not really a question, but I wanted to pass this along... JoeCon: What a great show, with loads of announcements and a lot of excitement. It seems like the G.I. Joe brand is on the cusp of making a huge comeback with the new toys and the upcoming movie. Congratulations on what appears to be a great line with a lot of history and comeback potential. Obviously, longtime fans are excited by the line, but I gotta tell you, even those who weren't fans back in the 1980s are excited by what is coming. Keep up the good job! Hasbro: Thank you for the kind words. We just want to fans to realize we love the brand as much as they do.

That's probably more likely, but I'd like to see an original Serpy with Air Chariot |

"Will the black timber variant of snake eyes continue to ship in wave 2 and/or 3? I was under the impression that there was supposed to be a 50/50 split between the white and black timbers, but this hasn't seemed to be the case."
While we cannot give out ratio information, the black wolf is less common than the white. We are planning on continuing to produce both color wolves in future waves. "What is the status of funskool molds retrieved from India?(damaged beyond repair, ready to use, needs cleaning, lost, etc.)" While we can't give too many specifics, Hasbro is doing its best to find and preserve old G.I. Joe tools. "When you re-release boxed pack figures as singles, will there be differences so we know they're different? (IE- Color changes, new sculpted details, etc)" No, we are re-releasing the 5 packs figures as is because this is what we heard from the fans. "Is it possible that we will be getting anything other than toys to celebrate the 25th Anniversary? (t-shirts, posters, books, etc.)" Hold tight until the movie and hopefully you will have your hands full. "It was discussed at the convention that the 25th anniversary figures will be switching to a new lower mid-torso joint. Any idea as to when we'll see this change implemented?" Look for this change in wave 1 2008.

Q: What is the expected release/ship date of the first wave of Comic Packs (Hawk/Scarlett, COBRA Commander/Duke, Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow)?
A: Look for them on shelf in January. Q: What are the specific details about acquiring the Mail Away ""Doc"" figure? A: To get Doc fans will have to send in 5 proof of purchase stickers from the Comic Packs. Q: When can we expect an authorized online forum for new Movie discussion? A: There are no plans for this right now…but feel free to tell us what our fans are looking for and we will try and accommodate. Q: Any chances that we might see some of the 2.5"" vehicles ""retooled"" to be more compatible with 3 3/4"" product?" A: This is something we are currently evalauting. Q: Will the final version of Grand Slam have a unique head sculpt, or still Flash's? A: Flash Thanks as always to everyone for submitting their questions! Quote:
When can we expect Mastercollector to be offering DTC wave 4?
We don’t yet have an answer for that. How about the Rest of the Sunbow cartoons will they ever get released on DVD? This feedback was heard loud and clear at JoeCon and the team has raised the issue within Hasbro. Is there any chance you'll be making 5-pack of Joe vehicle Drivers (Clutch, Ace,Wild-Bill, Cutter, Heavy-Metal, Etc)? There is no plan for this right now. Any chance of a Cobra-La comeback, for example Cobra-La convention set? There is no plan for this right now. Where are the tenative locations for 2008 GiJoe Convention? Master Collector will reveal this information in the coming months.

TNI: Will the figures in the special wave of single-carded box set figures coming out at the end of the year be the exact same figures as those already released, or will some of the joint and articulation problems be fixed on these versions?
Hasbro: They will be exactly the same as the figures in the box sets. Look for new articulation in the first wave of 2008. TNI: Exactly what will people have to do to get the very cool-looking Doc mail-away figure shown at this year's Con? Hasbro: To get Doc, fans will have to send in 5 proof of purchase stickers from the Comic Packs. TNI: Can you tell us more about the rank building evolution type sets to be released at TRU stores (as announced at this year's Con)? How many figures will be released in each set, what figures will be in the initial sets, and will these be new figures or just re-released ones? Hasbro: We will be debuting these at the GI Joe Club soon. These packs will have three figures and highlight the ranks of both Cobra and GI Joe. TNI: Will the new IG Destro have a soft good cape or a hard plastic cape? Hasbro: This will be soft goods. TNI: Word at the convention was that a Crimson Guard Commander comic 2-pack would be released in the second wave of comic packs. Is this true? Hasbro: Other than the wave 1 Comic Pack characters, we've only confirmed the Dreadknoks comic pack. |
