Rumors have been swirling that after wave 5, or the last official 25th wave, that the characters we will be seeing are the ones depicted in the san diego comic con playing card set, such as major bludd, wild bill, rock & roll, torpedo, as well as versions of serpentor and zartan with there respective vehicles, some had stated on this site that the line might end with wave 5, I have read some posts from walmart employees that have stated that these future character names are already in the computer and have scu numbers. If that is true it would not surprise me this next wave will hit right after christmas, and the cg, snow job wave will hit during the holidays. Are there any of you out there that have any info on this topic?

Pretty sure the line is not ending after wave 5. Pics have been posted of the wave 5 figures' card backs, and it still says "More Team Members on the Way"

The 25th Anniversary will stop at the end of this 2007 year.
BUT...the 3 3/4" line will continue. The 25th Anniversary moniker will be removed (because...well it just isn't the 25 anniversary anymore). The 25th Ann. line was an homage to the characters that were in the 1980s toyline. All the figures were part of the 80s line (with leeway given to Satan / Red Ninja, as Satan appeared in Plastirama's Argentina line of 'Joes) But once we get into 2008...the doors are wide open as to the characters that can & will be looked at to be made (including never before made figs, comic figs from both Marvel and Image/DDP). So...cool stuff lies ahead! (This is all from a conversation with the head of the current G.I.Joe line at the Atlanta Con.) -Peter |

I hadn't heard any of this. Last I heard, yes the 25th logo would be going away, but that was only after a full year of the 25th toys being out (Which would mean around June-July of 2008) Also looking at the Wave 2 comic packs, they have the 25th logo still and they're not sceduled to come out until Spring of 08

Interesting, Shogi! I guess I may have interpreted it incorrectly. But you have a very good point about the comic packs having the 25th logo.
Perhaps you're right in that it might be annual, based on when the 25th Anniversary figures first came out. Maybe that is what Hasbro is considering their "25th year". Hmmnn, I man not be correct on that end of 2007 timing. Thanks for bringing up that other information. -Peter |

Oh, and to clarify on the "other" characters: It's not to say that these figures will definitely be part of upcoming releases. But all G.I.Joe characters (from all media) are available to be looked at to be given the "25th Anniversary-style treatment" in upcoming releases.

I will consider anything up to and including my first-born son if "considering characters from all media" means that I might get a 25th-style Mayday/Sgt. Paige Adams figure.

Irid70...that's the Gijoe Extreme character, right? Heck, who knows? But I'd think anything Extreme character might require some heavy bribes, along with that consideration! ;)

GI Joe Extreme? Huh? She's from DDP...one of the greenshirts who gets promoted along with Barrel Roll, Depth Charge, Mariner, etc. Unless there was a character called that in the GI Joe Extreme...which I know nothing about.
Also a 25th style Vorona/Daina would be pretty cool. EDIT: Research will set you free. The name "Mayday" was used for a female character in the GI Joe Extreme cartoon series. Which series I was, until a few short minutes ago, blissfully ignorant of the existence of. No Mayday GI Joe Extreme figure was ever made that I can see. But Paige Adams was one of the first "greenshirts with a name" in the DDP series. Giving her the codename Mayday upon her promotion was a reference to the GI Joe Extreme character.
