Ever since X-Men went with the all black outfits people complained, whined, and bitched about it, but the movie big-wigs didn't want to listen. Those same big-wigs fought with Marvel "tooth-and-nail" to keep their outfits all the same matching black color. For some reason, they wanted to get away from the colorful characters and source material that made comic book heroes who they are today. And now they are just getting that thru their thick skulls???

Not a surprise but it is still a bummer to hear. I was hoping for another run of the TRU line at the very least.
I am not a fair weather fan though. I will still be here when Joe gets back on gear. Yo Joe! |

There was a post on the facebook group today that said they're going to show the 2016 line up at JoeCon. Was that post wrong ?

I honestly don't see how they can feasibly merge all these drastically different properties. Basically this reads as GI Joe is dead. The life support plug has been pulled. In a few years I'm sure they'll attempt to reboot the movie series and resort to 5 poa figures.

That information is incorrect, there will be no main G.I. Joe line in 2016.

I don't see the line is dead thing...they are going away to dream it up again. They have Star Wars and Marvel to compete against...is GI Joe really going to compete against them? Or Transformers. The Hasbro cinematic universe needs to revolve around Transformers, and all tie in to that, since that is the big draw. Gi Joe, should ride its coat tails. We need to accept that they are moving forward in the way that they can...and it is better to do that slowly than dump crap on us. I am disappointed there won't be a TRU line...but am looing forward to Stiletto. Hopefully, she won't the exclusive, but I don't know what other way they would release her....

So no GI Joe line in 2016 except for SDCC? What about perhaps an online exclusive, like a 7-pack that was done in years pass?

Hasbro will be producing a G.I. Joe 2016 SDCC Exclusive (TBA) and they will honor the production of the fans choice poll figure Stiletto, from Bill Nedrow’s third Kindle Worlds novel – G.I. JOE: Body Count, in a yet to be determined way. There will be NO main G.I. Joe action figure line in 2016, not even a Toys “R” Us Exclusive run.
By process of elimination Stiletto must be the SDCC exclusive. If there is not going to be a line this year then there is no other way to market this new character. |
