Anyway, my questions: 1. In the last Q&A, you stated that the Pursuit of Cobra would hit stores in "the back half" of 2010. Does that mean the products shown at Joecon last year as part of the Pursuit of Cobra theme have been delayed? Or is that product still considered "Rise of Cobra" product and will still ship in the first half of the year, with a full "rebranding" in the later half with product that hasn't yet been unveiled (and probably won't until Toy Fair)? 2. It seems the cat got out of the bag regarding a 26 episode G.I. Joe series currently being in the casting stages. Will this new series follow its' own continuity or be a continuation of an existing one (Rise of Cobra or Resolute, for example)? 3. What's the final verdict on Rise of Cobra? Were the movie and toys successful enough to secure the future of the G.I. Joe brand, or did they underperform and once again put G.I. Joe in "bridesmaid" status compared to lines like Transformers and Star Wars? Are we going to be looking at "25th Anniversary" levels of production and distribution next year or something more substantial? |

id like to know if the team enjoys working on the new line more than the 25th as they have alot more creative control over use of existing parts and new characters and if there are any parts they absolutely wont use for a new character.
id also like to know why doctor rex clearly has a body sculpted after the likeness of psycho mantis and whether theres any talk of a metal gear gi joe line. other than that id like to acknowledge the use of spray paint details such as zartan's sunburn and chest circles, the new camoflague, and other things as being long overdue. i believe the next big step in gi joe quality wont be through sculpting but through spray painted textures and details like the kubrick figures. except put that last one in the form of a question. lol |

It would have, but the new PoC Snow Job would have been a good choice to use as Frostbite instead of another Snow Job... even though I'm buying him since he looks so cool and the gear is topnotch.

1) Are there any plans for vehicles that can transport more than say 5 joes like and apc warthog or howler/tomahawk
2) will we see any civilians issued out so that joes have someone to rescue from the clutches of cobra(some scientists, cute girls etc) as maybe a hasbro toyshop or other exclusive 5 or 7 pack 3)what will you do to continue to develop the line as a product that keeps a nostalgic sense amongst old fans/collectors and yet updates enough to take new fans young and old on exciting adventures with the g.i.joe team |

Hasbro my first question. Why do the Past And Present 2 packs have ROC figures. ARAH Duke Past should be packaged with a 25th Duke Present.

My 2nd question are there any plans on releasing any more store or internet exclusive multi-packs like a Cobra-La
Night Force or Cartoon Movie pack. |

Doing a vintage Duke with a 25th Duke is not the purpose of the Then & Now packs.

You don't think it's weird to see the colorful old toys with the all black new ones? It's horrible, it just looks like Hasbro was lazy and wanted all color-schemes to be black so they wouldn't have to buy different colors of paint xD. |
