Thanks to HISS Tank boards member Nordland for checking up on the updates on whether GI Joe has been canceled, or rather, stayed canceled in the UK. If this sounds familiar, we posted something about this back in October. Now Nordland brings us recent information on the status of the GI Joe altogether for the UK:
Thank you for your enquiry regarding our G.I. Joe range.We can confirm that there are no current plans to release any further G.I. Joe product in the UK during 2010.
Again thank you for contacting us and for your continued interest and support in our products.
Kind Regards,

Whether or not new G.I. Joe products will be introduced into the UK market next year remains to be seen.
Nordland says
You may remember i posted an email reply from Hasbro UK back in October after i asked whether POC would be released in the UK. hasbro replied that it was undecided, which let to a huge argument about what that meant.
Anyway i emailed again and just got this reply........

So thats that. I think we will get the film figures for ROC 2 but as far as POC and any other filler figures/vehicles that is that.
Seeing as we never got the 25th and only got half of the ROC line i can't even say it was good while it lasted.
I expect the rest of Hasbro Europe will soon follow with the same reply.
Damn.......

wow, that's fncked up man.. i much rather have the poc over the roc.
the man stuck you boy..

Maybe this is me just being hopefull, but they did say for 2010, maybe their current plans are to see how well POC does stateside then bring it over there in 2011
or maybe the US is just pissed that they can't get the 3 3/4" Harry Potter figures or any of the Doctor Who toys over here and said you don't get GI Joe
THE RED SHADOWS says
they need to make ACTION MAN into a 3 and 3/4 inch line to take the place of GI JOE, then slowly mix the two lines

About POC maybe being released in 2011 i doubt it. By then the US would be on wave 2 or 3 with Wave 1 long out of production. So if they did release anything early 2011 we would still miss out on all the initial waves. I doubt they would start releasing anything that far after launch.
As for Potter figures, Potter or Joe? I don't consider that a good trade off. :/

Troynos says
Wait? 3 3/4" Harry Potter figures? I WANT!!!
That does suck.
Maybe we can set up some kind of "Joes for Englanders" exchange program on the 'Tank.

Jeffrozup says
Well the POC line comes out in the fourth quarter of 2010 correct? That could be mean they will be seen overseas in the first part of 2011 right?
Maybe they just aren't going to have enough time to ship the new products overseas in 2010 because of when they will be released here in the USA?
