If it's on the internet, it's true.

Time to panic?!? You sir have nerves of steel. Should have been in full blown panic mode for quite some time by now.

You can wait until the toys for G.I. Joe 3 show up to decide to panic or not. Toys for this year have already been designed. All they need is someone to approve the samples from the factory. That person can work on other brands in the meantime. Until the concept art from the movie production comes in, there is nothing for the design team to do with the brand.

Action figure sales are slumping. No surprise. Someone said bring back Sigma Six, but with productions costs on the rise, imagine prices for figures that size.

As I understand it, and I am by no means an authority, Hasbro does not have anyone slated to work on gi joe full time. My expectation is that they would pull someone to work in the line for the next movie. This is just internet speculation based on the recent news and rumors.

While it IS true Hasbro doesn't have an active Joe team and opted NOT to attend Joe con this year: to say they are "killing" GI Joe is a bit overdramatic.
Joe has been dying a slow death since the end of RoC's support peak (which itself wasn't even as successful as Transformers pre-movie), with diminishing retail support with diminishing product turnout and distribution. And I don't think the writer understands what an "evergreen IP" really means, because GI Joe isn't it right now. It isn't evergreen if Hasbro needs a 150 million dollar movie to get Target and Walmart to carry the line. And Hasbro's NOT going to keep a brand team around for a brand that barely does specialty store sales
