I have been patient for over 3 months (15 years if these are O ring, 4 if these are ME), I can wait a bit longer.
Patience is definitely a virtue in this waiting game....
I think what really upset me was the general tone in which the non answer was delivered. I get that they are the design team for the 6 inch line and knowing this, I am sure they do not want any distractions from their 6 inch product reveals but it would have been nice to have the heads up that the Hasbro Fan Friday was for 6 inch collectors...3 and 3/4 crowd need not apply.
Will the Retro line or any other 3 and 3/4 line from Hasbro be showcased with such enthusiasm? Judging from the change in tone (which was very apparent) from the presenters, I have little faith in that.
It is enough to have new (or as the case most likely will be repackaged) 3 and 3/4 figures, but I for one don't like the general attitude toward the 3 and 3/4 collectors. It has happened before with the Hasbro Marvel Universe line, then the Hasbro Star Wars line, and I fear the GIJOE line. As I have said, I have nothing against the 6 inch fans and I am happy for them. I merely choose not to collect that scale. I instead will save up and show my support for the 3 and 3/4 line with my wallet in hopes that Hasbro will recognize that there is a market for both scales. I plan to purchase the retro figures even if they are reproduced 25th figures (just so long as they are not 5 POA reaction style or bend-em figures as this thread has joked about) but it would be nice of the company and marketing division to hype this up a bit-who knows, perhaps they will. Or even if they dropped a few photos of what we can expect and perhaps go as far as to indicate when....as it seems to be soon.
