Looking at the website, its interesting that there is a "Digital Kids Conference". Has this always been at Toyfair or is this new? It's more evidence that action figures are dying.

And yes, if I held Hasbro stock I would be far more excited about the Star Wars films as a revenue source for merchandising. GI Joe is culturally irrelevant. The plan going forward seems to be to make it an accessory property of a larger world.

Well, this begs the question. While The Force Awakens has been a box office success, how has toy merchandising fared?

Ah OK thanks, that's about all I've heard so far myself.

It's already been said, no new Joes will be shown till the last Joecon run by funpub (hopefully).

Really? Huh. That's a bummer. I guess we are looking at late summer for product to hit the shelves, then.

I'm still inclined to believe we'll see some new items, as I think Joecon is too close to the release of the assortment to keep secret.

That's what I was thinking.
When I asked if the Fan Choice figure would be revealed during a potential Kindle World Panel at this year's JoeCon, I was told no because by that time it would have inevitably be leaked at the factory. I assumed, then, that it would be officially revealed much earlier. Now, that's not to say it and the year's offerings won't be via the Pulse or whatever, but I was kind of hoping that we'd get a good look this weekend at what is on tap this year. |

Everyone calm down already. Just wait until tomorrow and we will know what's really going on if anything for the line.

Isn't tonight Preview Night? I stayed up all last night thinking it was last night and got nothing. Now, I've been hitting refresh all day and still seeing nothing. I feel like my parents keep delaying Christmas. What gives?
