G.I.Eddie: since the 25th Joe line was designed "with the customiser in mind", will we ever see any type of accessory/weapon/harness packs, spare heads/body parts? hamilcar: the vast majority of releases thus far have been from the 1982-1987 era figures. we all also know that most of what is scheduled for release through wave 8 is also from that period. do you plan to do much in the way of releasing figures based on later years? specifically, 1988-1991? thanks.

We'd like a Wraith figure please. theprocess: Hey HASBRO, Will I ever pay retail price for 25th figures? Porkchop Sandwiches: If it has been asked once it has been asked 1000 more times...Rattlers?, CLAWs?, FANGs?, Joe Headquaters?, Terror Drome?, Aircraft Carrier?, other playsets?, Carrying case?, Accessary pack with weapons?, APC?, stuff stuff stuff... RockinHard: What other characters are we going to see in the 25th line, and how many more? What about vehicles? G.I.Eddie: Quote:

G.I.Eddie: will we get to see any more veriations of SE...ahh, scratch this one, why waste a question when we already know the answer... hassidae: In the last Q&A session on another site, you stated that in Wave 4 of 2007 (presumably you meant 2008) that you would release an all black version of Snake Eyes version 2 (the one with the visor) with a new tooling. Given that the wave 4 lineup was unveiled and he's not in there, and wave 4 of 2007 was the original single pack releases that did not include a Snake Eyes, was this a mix up or can we expect to see this figure released at all down the road? What if I say pretty please?
And props to the moderator if you list this question and include that last part.
And for anyone that remembers this question/answer, do you think they muffed and meant version 3 coming in the next wave, because that would just suck (I love that figure, but an all black v.2 with the updated tooling would be the quintessential snake eyes IMHO). VIPER 48: Quote:

Shin Densetsu: 1-Will wave 4 comic pack Storm Shadow have a shirt painted on?
2-Will the Duke mold finally receive a crotch fix?
3-Will there be a figure based on the 2002 Storm Shadow?
4-Are Ninja Vipers a possibility? G.I.Eddie: Quote:

Specifically, was the figure posed at times with both the RAM and Armadillo supposed to be Steeler, the Breaker figure we were told would come with the RAM, or was he another figure entirely?
Will the Serpentor figure packed with the Air Chariot be a re-pack, or an all new sculpt?
Can we get more information on which figures will be in the DVD Entertainment Packs? I believe we know who will come with the MASS Device and Weather Dominator sets, but what about the Pyramid of Darkness, Arise Serpentor Arise, and GI Joe the Movie sets? Con-man: Will playsets be produced for the movie or the future 25th lines?
In the future will we see mail in offers with items other than the two packs? VIPER 48: Besides the TRU and Target exclusives, will we see anymore exclusives? Will we see any more mail aways like Doc? Will Seinfeld ever do a reunion show? The last question is optional... RazorMurphy: Will Hasbro be releasing 25th Anniversary figures in Europe - namely Ireland?
Obviously G.I Joe is not as popular over here as it is in the States, but with the movie being released next year...
Ebay is killing me!
Any chance of a 25th Skystriker? Tomahawk? Rattler?
C'mon Hasbro, surely the line is popular enough now, and for the forseeable future to warrant it! crazyfellow1: 1. Will we ever see a retooling of the skyhawk?
2. Are we going to see Alot more vehicles, or is these a limited release sort of thing?
3. is there ever going to be a realistic hiss (moving treads, etc.)?
4. will there ever be a better original ninja Snake-eyes?
5. will the target exclusives ever be released to regular retail?
6. will there be a seperate toy line for the 2009 movie or are these tribute figures and vehicles going to dissapear? Jinx723: For future releases, will body parts (arms, head) be molded in the appropriate colors? Or are we still getting entire figures molded in one base color and then having arms and faces painted?
Will the mold for Duke's arms ever change (R.I.P.), or are we just gonna have to deal with them? Golobulous: Will we see new versions of the Cobra la team, Golobulus,Pythona,and Royal Guard. Also what is the status of there being a new Sgt. Slaughter figure? Shogi: Have you considered using the Hiss Drivers body mold for your upcoming Major Bludd figure instead of using Zartan's body mold?
Guys, don't forget to check General's Joes Q&A site to see what has been asked already G.I.Eddie: Quote:
Originally Posted by Shogi Have you considered using the Hiss Drivers body mold for your upcoming Major Bludd figure instead of using Zartan's body mold? | great question! artiepants: #1. Can you close the door on which HISS is being released in the Vehicle line (DTC or ARAH)
#2. Any chance of seeing the Cobra Trooper/Officer mold getting fixed Crotch n' Elbows (along with the Duke Mold) since they are getting so much milage. it did wonders for Snake-Eyes mold.
#3. a 5th wave of Comic packs was briefly listed for Preorder by a couple different eTailers (the wave with Lt. Falcon/Nemesis Enforcer, Destro/Iron Grenadier and Trip Wire/Cobra Commander) has this wave been canceled or pushed back?
#4. Is Major Bludd being pushed back again? According to the revision to Wave 4 2008 (aka Wave 8) case on Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth he has been removed, which seems odd since he is the only new character in the wave.
#5. how many Vehicles are planned for 08 (i don't think that was mentioned in the press release) murphbri: 1) All the Tomax/Xamots I have found have a painted neck but unpainted arms and face. Any chance of doing a running change to fix this?
2)Any plans for doing a cartoon-accurate Cobra Commander repaint? (Vac-Metallized faceplate, stripe on helmet, black gloves).
3)Could future releases of Snake-Eyes V2 come with the sword that matches the card art? (You could leave out the wolf to save on costs!)
4)Why does Spirit's gun not have a handle? (He needs it so he can, y'know, aim it and stuff)
5)What was the reasoning behind altering the original card art? I prefer the crisper, painted look of the originals. tuan_tran73: 1. Since I saw the gloves and roll-up sleves fixed on Tiger Force Flint, will we ever see, re release with this fixed, for the original(V1) Flint? Please do it and I guarantee you that I will purchase every Flint figures that I saw - I only saw twice since Flint was released?
2. Will I ever see the accurate Snake eyes V2?
3. Am I still need to support "Cut-Throat" ebay sellers?
4. When am I seeing Quick Kick and Falcon? RockinHard: Will Flint, Storm Shadow (v1), and Snake-Eyes with Timber be rerealsed since they are so hard to find? Will distribution improve? vision_vanson: Will Dr. Mindbender's cameo in the live action G.I. Joe movie possibly lead into a 2nd or 3rd sequel with Serpentor? Also if the G.I. Joe movie is a trilogy would Serpentor be the link to a Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover film and/or series in the future being as he became Megatron's son in the Transformers vs G.I. Joe "Art of War" comic series? That would be a very smart move for the franchise bc those 2 stories existed within eachother in the comics and in the cartoon. so it would be great if they each have their own trilogy set and then link the stories together and make that a trilogy with a total of 9 films. with that said its easily matched in an ultimate good vs evil showdown with G.I. Joe/Autobots vs Cobra/Decepticons. Now who wouldnt want to see that???? kilowatt: I just want to know what the deal with distribution is? Goin' Commando: Quote:

A DD Shipwreck would be awesome. Billy, Storm Shadow and the Plague troopers from WW3 are a must have !! Faceless: Will we ever see a return of G.I.Joe Extreme in the 25th style? Possibly as a sub line or comic/DVD pack?
Any chance of seeing the complete marvel run of G.I.Joe collected in graphic novel form or on CD/DVD?
Will we be seeing any of the 89-93 versions of G.I.Joe characters?
How about some classic play sets?
In issue 111 of the Marvel run of G.I.Joe we were introduced to a new character, Cool Breeze. Any chance for a figure? onefastbird95: 1.) Will anymore of the "original 13" be released single carded for the 25th line?
2.) Will figures already released and upcommming figure be made into python patrol or tigerforce figures for single card or box set release or does this just depend on how the tiger force flint and python patrol cobra officer do when they are released?
3.) Can we get an answer on the subject as whether Sgt. Slaughter will be made in the 25th line and if it is even possible with licensing issues? blackrazor1: Will we ever see a 25th Snowcat w/ Frostbite, Conquest w/Slipstream or Moray w/Lamprey? Junior: Quote:

? | From Toy News International: "For those who have been wondering if the figure shown HERE is Steeler or Breaker, we went to Hasbro's G.I.Joe Brand Manager Neal Hoffman for clarification. According to him, this figure is Steeler and will come with the Armadillo Tank. There will be a Breaker figure which has not been shown yet that will come with the RAM motorcycle." Junior: Quote:

| "As we previously reported, the HISS tank slated to come out will be based on the original "RAH" mold and not the more recently released "DTC" version."
- Quote from Hasbro taken from ToyNewsI.com Tracker: Will we see Hit&Run in the new 25th line up GI Jr: will snake eyes v2 and other hard to find figures be re-released? eg: stormshadow, cobra officers, flash70: Hasbro -
Will we get an updated Terror Drome during the next year when the movie comes out? vega-1: My one queastion is a simple one. Will we ever get a battlestands with the two pegs in a package all alone? They work so much better then the single ones. artiepants: Quote:

- Quote from Hasbro taken from ToyNewsI.com | the reason i phrased it the way i did, is another site had a quote from a Hasbro rep at the show that it WOULD be the DTC mold ~ i'm more inclined to believe the TNI qoute, but it would be nice to get it official.

STORM SHADOW: Do you have the audacity to release Gold-head Destro's and Rowdy Roddy Piper figures in mass quantity? Deathx360: 1. Will we see anymore comic packs after wave 4?
2. Will there be anymore mail-in figures, will there be more than one at one time, and will Flag/Battle Points still be used in some way?
3. Will there be a SDCC exclusive and will it be a new character or a repaint of an existing character like last years Destro?
4. Will the Joe Con figures be ARAH or 25th style?
5. Why was the G.I. Joe Movie Battle Pack changed to a Best Of pack? Deathx360: Quote:
