OK, something that has been bugging me and some others for awhile now. Bringing Sgt. Slaughter into the 25th line... During a recent Q&A Hasbro was asked the question "Do you plan on making a Sgt. Slaughter figure this year." and they answered something like "We didn't plan on it." Now that doesn't really tell us if they technically can't due to rights and/or likeness owned by someone else, or if they just didn't think he was an important enough character to release, or if he is not in the plan for this year but could possibly still be a part of the line in the future?? We all know Hasbro can play the game... example Nemisis Immortal, Double Clutch, etc. So if they need to call Sgt. Slaughter something like "Sarge", "Drill Seargent", etc. then so be it. I know I am not the only person who wants Hasbro to make this figure... Can SOME HOW we make it a point to get some FINAL answer from HASBRO as to whether this can actually happen or if the dream of a Sgt. Slaughter figure is over? I don't know the best way to find this out, maybe the next Q&A, or does someone know somebody that works for Hasbro, or could we get an answer at the SDCC??? Any ideas?

Just get one of the tankers here to custom make one for you. ;)
I don't think we'll be seeing Sarge anytime in the near future. With the name copyright issue and the fact that they are focusing a major portion of the budget for the movie line, I just don't see it happening this year. Last edited by foor; 07-10-2008 at 02:01 AM.. Reason: I suck at spelling |

like i said in another thread-here in england they renamed him "sgt.slammer" so thats what he was called in the cartoon,the animated movie and the cards etc.we knew he was the same guy as sgt.slaughter of WWF anyway,didnt change a damn thing.My question is,how many of you guys in the U.S would be upset if they did this as a way of making a figure out of him? cuz to me it wouldnt matter atall

I wouldn't have a problem with it, he was a pretty important character (tho not a fav of mine) in both the comics and cartoon.

I don't figure it as much of a problem with the name as it is that the figure is a likeness to a real person.

i dont see how the copyright would pose a big problem. he is still slaughter in the WWE. hasbro should sign him back up as a spokesman. i know he still does stuff from time to time about his GI Joe days.
anyone watch ESPN classic? he is on there now during his GI Joe days. as to the question would a name change bother me, no. we would all still call him slaughter no matter what the card said. and its true hasbro had no plan for him, but seeing how their using the same parts so much he is likely, because they already have everything they need for him. |
