I know Hasbro promised to never allow official Kenner style Star Wars figures (which sucks) after the ones they did in the 90's, but did they make a similar promise for GI Joe? Is the O-ring style to expensive to make?
I would gladly pay a high premium for O-ring style Joes that fit in with the 80's line, especially if they are compatible with the vehicles and play sets form that era. I know it would mean Duke, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow etc.. reissued, but imagine Zap, Short-Fuze and Breaker with their unreleased V2 heads, Khaki Kwinn, Dr. Venom, Col. Sharpe, Mera etc.. from the cartoon and comic getting official releases that fit in with the 80's line. It's been a dream of mine for years and I am surprised someone has not tried to do it. Seems like it would make money unless the O-ring style cost is too prohibitive or the molds are deteriorated beyond use or lost like the Dinobots.
Of course, some nice o-rings in modern version, especially characters with new heads or never produced, I would buy them for sure. Maybe they will do them! Many brands are reproducing vintage lines, as you have done the MOTU example, and maybe it will also happen with Gi Joe
