Since hasbro is clueless and they just laid off their staff recently.
Why don't we as a community do a business proposal for them so they know exactly what we want For the 50th anniversary, do a real 50 for 50 5 waves of figures ( can be a blend of the ultimate stuff and concept stuff ). Each wave with 10 new figures and 2 army builder duplicates for a total of 12 per box Wave 1 ( from concept vault sculpts ) Footloose Gung ho flint Lady jaye Camo Ss Heat viper x2 Crimson guard immortal x2 Ultimate snake eyes v 187 Ravens wing Baroness Wave 2 Laser viper x2 Data viper x2 Cc Zartan Roadblock Scrap iron Duke The tall air Joe behind the hockey mask guy in last years vault The cobra w the swirly mask at last years vault Ultimate dial tone Wave 3 Tele viper x2 Eel x2 Ss scarlet Shipwreck navy shirt Beachhead Echo faction trooper x2 Hit & run ultimate falcon Wave 4 Hiss driver Black crimson guard x2 Snow serpent x2 Cobra stinger driver x2 Steel brigade v2.

I think it's something along the lines of the plans they had for ARAH 30th anniversary.

They've got something planned (or at least a couple different options ready to go and just haven't settled on one). I'd be willing to bet money on it.
They just weren't talking about it at the con. You know what might be cool as an additional tie-in? Sideshow doing a "classic" Joe Colton, Sideshow-Style (With both classic clean-shaven and bearded heads). I don't know, the 12" line has been declining, while the 4" has been increasing. Back in the early Con days it was 90% 12" collectors and every year the 4" collectors have been closing the gap. This years Con I'd be suprised if the 12" collectors took up 10% of the attendees. They probably will do something, but I can't see them doing something with the 4" line, since it's the 50th anniversary of the 12" Joe. The two lines are two totally different animals. They've crossed them here and there, but not much. I don't think it'll be a big deal. Like someone said earlier, they may do an exclusive figure or two for the collectors, but I'll be shocked if it's more. I won't be disappointed, just shocked!

Tell them what us joe nerds want Can we front page this as an official community proposal to Hasbro? Or take a vote as a community and go from there? Something to get the ball rolling to find a way to present this. |

I do like the idea of a 50th anniversary 3-3/4" Line celebrating all the lines of joes over the years. 1 case of 12 figures:
1. Original GI Joe (Joe Colton?) 2. Action Marine - come with bearded and clean shaven heads 3. Astronaut 4. Mike Power, Atomic Man (Action Team) 5. Bulletman (Depending on Copyright Law) or Super Joe Alien figure 6. Sgt. Savage (GI Joe Extreme) 7. Hi Tech (Sigma 6) 8. The Intruder (Action Team) 9. Ultimate Cobra Soldier (ARAH & Troop Builder) 10. Dr. Mindbender (Valor Vs. Venom) 11. Renegades Baroness 12. Fan Poll Cobra Character (Ultimate version of Firefly, Scrap Iron, Major Bludd, Zartan, or other) It would be a pretty wacky assortment and show how diverse the line has been. I think they could make most of these with existing parts and pieces, so it would be economical for them as well. |

Also, I'd really rather they didn't do anything for the 50th because it's going to get damn confusing. Stick to the ARAH anniversaries. And if you want a 50th brand anniversary, then it ought to include a lot of 12". And I think we all know how those do at retail anymore.

Mine from earlier this year is much more developed and practical. Unless GI Joe sales explode, 50 figures in a 12 month time frame is just NOT going to happen (much less with a selection ridiculously light on core characters. On average, 30% of a given GI Joe line is composed of core characters). Hell, with a damn live action film, Retaliation is only going to top out at only 34 figures (assuming wave 4 even sees production). The only reason we saw as much as we did in 2011 was because Hasbro bumped 2012 product ahead to avoid rollover into the movie line.
