I don't say this to be unkind or throw shade, but I'm somewhat surprised that Derryl waited until Hasbro turned the lights out on him before moving on. The writing has been on the wall since Joe was scaled back to virtually nothing pending a new movie. Having been in a similar position myself in the past, where the signs were there if I choose to see them, I would have been floating my resume several years ago were I in his shoes.
All of that unnecessary preamble said, I wish him well and want to thank him for so fervently leading the charge on behalf of Joe over the years! |

First and foremost thank you Derryl for all the work and effort you put into the Gi Joe brand. It is clear that you Derryl have been a driving force to bring Joes to market. Second I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors. Lastly I personally think that this is not going to bode well for us Joe fans.

I was extremely upset to hear this news. I feel like I knew him personally between hearing his stories on the Regular Joes Podcast and speaking to him at cons. A really consummate professional and all around great guy. It makes me sad to see a brand, a company and people I care about suffering. Best to all and thank you again Derryl!

I’m very worried about the future of gi joe for me as a collector. From what I understand Those two have been keeping us collectors on life support. I wonder who has taken over the Gi Joe toy brand at Hasbro for the upcoming Snake Eyes movie.
