Hasbro, listening to the fans is the best move you can possibly make here. Look at the success of the 25th line so far. It's due to the fact that you're giving us fans pieces of what we want and you're attracting new fans because you're putting superior product on the shelf. It's a perfect marriage of nostalgia for the grown-up fans and really good looking toys for all the kids to latch onto (like we all did 25 yrs ago.) Ok here's my list of must do's =
1) Larry Hama should be involved in every decision you guys make. The man is the George Lucas of G.I.JOE RAH and his input was heavily responsible for the success of the line and comic in it's golden years. The filecards really separated the joes from stuff like remco and lanard. Those were the guys I would set on fire and launch into the air with rockets :-) ...and while I'm on the topic of the filecards....how about spending a little time on these fellas? I've found a couple of typo-s already! 2)I would love to see a lot of the comic 2 packs such as issue #61 with a repainted quick-kick and outback, #15 with dr. venom and kwinn, #33 with ripcord and a civilian clothes fred VII and spec. miss. # 8 with wet-suit and footloose! 5 figure battle packs. stuff like troop builders, a special mission brazil 5 pack! (please!), vehicle drivers , etc. 3)Mini Playsets!!!! (Watch Tower, Machine Gun Defence, Cobra Bunker, Cobra Rifle Range,etc... Or new versions of these if the molds don't exsist). Or even create new modular ones that when linked together, form a joe and cobra headquarters! That way you save on shelf space and keep costs down. 4) as much as i like the big vehicles like the whale, defiant, and MCC, I think they are definitely too big for retail nowadays. I think affering those as mail orders is a great idea and would be a perfect use for those flag points! 5)I love that most of the sidearms on the new figs. can be removed and used. Here;s another idea, how about adding small (backpack pins and holes) to some of the figs. for removable handgrenades? That was always a childhood frustration for me was that the grenades were always painted on and not usable. 6) let's see more of the $9.99 vehicle options like a ferret with driver, vamp/stinger, silver mirage with driver, trubble bubble with driver, retooled skyhawk w/ driver, hydro-sled w/ driver etc. 7) accessory packs! solid black that's all I got |

Can't really think of anything else to add here. Just a note on the BIG items (Flagg and Defiant). I think we can all agree that our chances of ever seeing these again is about equal to DDP bringing LJ back from the dead. But... I think the smart way to do it would be to make them HasbroToyShop.com exclusives. Saves on shelf space at the Stores, and I don't think that this would stop most collectors. Yeah, shipping would suck, but I'd pay it

i want a version 1 mercer if you have to put him in a 5 pack with say the other renegades lt. falcon and sgt slaughter and call it a movie pack so be it and if you done that you could also make a cobra-la one with golobulous, pythona nemisis enforcer a royal guard and cobra commander turning into a snake that would be great
also id love to see some devils due styled figure shipwreck could be a beach head repaint with his lower legs like the custom im going to make but id also love a firewall,wraith,dd stormshadow, dd serpentor,spirit, mainframe zandar jinx etc also a viper wich would also be cool to do an eveloution pack with a viper to mercer version 1 to mercer version 2 tomax and zamont are a must chuckles the rest of the dreadnoks hawk version 2 airtight lifeline shockwave leatherneck outback budo mercer mercer mercer mercer mercer mercer mercer well hasbro i think you know what i want "mercer" anyway i believe the 25th stuff is great and getting better and im so stoked so thank you hasbro for giving us what we want |
