As of now, G.I.Joe Resolute will debut as ten 5-minute web-episodes. With such uncertainty, neither sponsors nor solid network agreement, will Hasbro spend money on new molds? I doubt Hasbro has reached the audience needed to sustain this line and with the graphic content of G.I.Joe Resolute, they may lose out on the target group of 5-10 year olds…

all new molds? I doubt it. I can see them creating 1 or 2 new pieces per figure. Maybe a new head and a new torso or something. but otherwise most of the 25th parts are interchangeable.

Yeah, if I were Hasbro, I would be wanting to re-introduce my current product (ie. Resolute), change the packaging a little bit and see if I could pull a new part of the market into buying existing product. That equals more $$$$$$$.
With gaming as popular as it is and many cartoons now being more like animated graphic novels, maybe the transition to manhood (the point where you say, I am too old for cartoons/toys) is coming much later, if at all. I know that I am regressing. |

With the path that hasbro has been going, it will most likely be repaints. Personally I'm liking the look of the animated figures, so I really don't care if they are repaints are not.

I asked Hasbro about Resolute figures at the SDCC, and there lead designer said there figures would be in the same mold as the 25th line. He also went on to say that the 25th mold is going to be the standard in the 3 3/4 line.

I think the molds will be mostly new with minimal mold reuse.

Repaints. Saw some possibles over at the TNI Joe forum. If that's the case, I am terribly dissapointed. Having seen the preview, I was truly looking forward to the figures. I still hold out hope, but the folks at Hasbro are masters of the repaint. The original 13 were the original victims of such a practice.
