So in the middle of the week we got news that GI Joe Retaliation is going to be delayed 9 months for post conversion to 3D. Today we got news that while some of the toys are out now, most of them will be delayed until early next year.
With a large library of parts to use, and movie toy designs that we have yet to see but were in the works for later waves, What improvements and/or changes do you want to see when GI Joe Retaliation returns in 9 months? Bare in mind, Hasbro stated prior to delay announcement at Toy Fair, that movie accurate figures would not appear until wave 2. This was due to the movie initially getting its premiere date moved up from August, to June, and Hasbro not having the time to have accurate figures out by wave 1 on May 28. However, with 9 months on their hands, perhaps there is room to "make things right". DISCUSS! |

Drivers with joints.
Not repaints unnecesary Take a time to watch the awesome (and sometimes simple) stuff the customizers do. Give the fans the characters we want and then propose new things, we all like it. |

The later waves were pretty good although this is just my opinion I wasn't stoked by Crimson Guard much preferred TRU's offering on these but each to their own.
I think what should happen is they take what was good about POC and 30TH and there was plenty right with both!! And use this to improve what comes out going forward! I can't help but think that it won't pan out that way though...

If some of the rumours about the film are true, I can't see Hasbro bothering to invest in any changes... at all. Packaging maybe, but not much else.

They did get as far as wave 2, not sure how far along waves 3-5 were with regards to production. |

If the toys were prepared for an upcoming ship date and street date then chances to see changes are slim. At best they might add a few products to the line to make it seem robust even after the current toys hit shelves.
More articulation seems to be the going want from collectors and fans. I'd like to see more Cobra Troop builders and less ninjas. |

What should happen is what everyone on this site will suggest should happen. Movie accurate, no spring loaded, etc.
What will change is nothing. They will have already produced the majority of everything, they're not going to change any of that. Sad, but true. |

Use old molds to create re-painted vehicles
Black Rattler Night Force (Not orange parts) I'd like to see ME tele viper again. Zap & Mindbender updates. Shadow Tracker different color Bring back POC Hawk Low Light with just the riffle & case. If its made already use it EDIT: We will see something before Christmas, Hasbro makes a lot of their money in the Christmas season. Last edited by VideoViper; 05-25-2012 at 12:53 PM.. |
