I have tried writing to Kelly Skovron, Lenny and Emily, with little to no success. It bothers me, when I hear of others who've managed to correspond with, or even befriend them. All of my concerns were dismissed, by the look of things. That's a fine way of letting fans know they're shit on the botton of your shoes...
However, you should probably read the following essay first (to help you craft your request/"learn to speak Skovron's language"): https://buttondown.email/skovron/archive/why-gi-joe/ PS Just don't forget the whole "non-binary" thing this time. (They are very particular about that.)

I would definitely try again to contact Kelley Skovron. Since, at the present moment, those YA novels are (sadly) pretty much all there is in terms of "lore building"/outreach to future generations. And, apparently, Hasbro was happy enough with the author's work to have already approved/greenlit a "Book 2".

You want two figures and are already getting one. We get new figures announced all the time now, with a lot of obscure or underused characters so there's nothing but hope. It's a bit unreasonable to expect a personal reply from a company. Even more so to expect them to incorporate a specific bit of lore in a toy line that is as general as possible. I'd bet that we get Zandar before any other Dreadnoks at this point. But I kind of like that we get less background info so that we, and people new to G.I. Joe get to make up their own stories. |

Did it end with "Now you know. And knowing is half the battle?"

A guy was at a screening of G.I. JOE: The Movie Emily and Lenny did a spot talking about the line and Emily said that by the end of next year there will be over 100 figures in the Classified Series. Yes, a lot will be repaints and the obligatory S.E., Duke, and C.C. figures, but a lot of them will be new. With that being said, I have very hard time believing that Zandar won't be announced between now and the end of next year.

I'm tired of being a complaining and pessimistic sadsack of a Joe fan. It's just that whenever creative professionals who aren't fans of Zandar get the chance to develop the character, they deem everything about him, including his relationship with his twin sister, unimportant, and so it's lost. Or they're depicted as pretty much not twins and not close at all.
The current Hasbro crew is putting out some great stuff! I shouldn't doubt they're fans. Once bitten twice shy from past creative teams however leaves me wondering just what's going to come of Zandar (& Zarana) if anything.
