Yes folks the answers for the latest Hasbro 2010 GI Joe Q&A are finally in! Do you want to Pursuit Cobra longer than 4 waves? How about the Shadow Guard, what secrets lurked in its shadow? Find the answers to these questions and more by hitting the title bar!
1) Will there be any way of telling from the box which color HISS Tank V5 you are getting once the running change in color(black) starts to happen, and when will it hit retail?
A) The Black HISS will be packed in the same package as the previous version. This is what is known as a “running change:” a change that was made in reaction to fan-feedback which demanded an “all-black” version. We’re sorry, but packaging will not reflect which versions are black and which are Burgundy.
2) The Shadow Guard from Pursuit Of Cobra was shown on a banner at JoeCon 2010 but the figure itself is nowhere to be seen. We take it, it was unfortunately canceled or maybe even hiding in the shadows for a later release. In any case, was it merely a repaint of the 25th Anniversary Crimson Guard figure with the same weapons, or did it have any new parts?
A) The Shadow Guard was originally planned as an exclusive. He was a redeco of the original Crimson Guard, but contained some weapons not previously packed with the Crimson Guard.
3) As we all know from the Pursuit Of Cobra line, plans change. Though Pursuit Of Cobra was meant as a filler line between the Rise of Cobra movie and the Renegades cartoon, has any thought been given to extending Pursuit Of Cobra beyond 4 waves? Or is the strategizing and marketing of this current line basically over and done with?
A) After we started this line, we have been overwhelmed with the response. While we can not promise anything, there are many additional figures that we want to do and we are currently looking to see if we can fit a few more waves into this line.

So, i think all the answers goes in the same direction: In the beginning they thought POC will go just to Wave 4, but POC seems to sell a lot better than they expected and they chenged the direction: more POCs Waves and Renegades going under the POC Label..
Thanks a lot HASBRO

...till Renegades pops on the scene. Then all bets are off as far any new POC Joes.
Tanksmasher says
They seem to be moving more toward quality than quantity so if the next waves sell really well, and I think they will, we'll probably see some more.
