I’m suspecting they were “late additions” to the 1993 line, much like how the Tiger Force line was omitted in the 1988 catalog. They likely continued shipping in 1994 (justifying the cross sell) along with the impending release of the Street Fighter feature film. Parry Game Preserve has images of the 1993 Toy Fair catalog, featuring the addition of Street Fighter 2 to the Joe ranks.

In all fairness, release dates were getting a LOT more fluid in the 90s. Remember, the insert for the 1991 Lifeline mail away featured dominantly 1992 product. It would not surprise me if stuff started to follow a “fall to spring” release schedule rather than the “winter to winter” schedule toy lines tended to follow in the 80s.

I'm not likely to include those lines, ever. Just because pieces and parts were used that were originally used with G.I.Joe doesn't mean they deserve inclusion in a G.I.Joe: ARAH archive. Think of the Bronze Bombers or Stargate (and I'm sure there's plenty of other "cousins" that borrowed vehicles, figures, and accessories from the ARAH mold library). These are not items I'm interested in collecting, documenting, or archiving. They aren't "Joe." You'd have to create a more compelling argument than "they share some parts" to sway me.

Fair enough. Though, I DO think some sort of mention is perhaps warranted in regards to some figures (like Sonya Blade or many of the Guile variants) that are a simple head swap from a prior figure since Hasbro didn’t change copyright/trademark information very often on those old molds. Not a detailed archive, but a mention on the site with the respective figures that they were largely reused for another, non joe branded, product line and maybe a link to Yojoe for additional details?
