Classified Files - Coming Soon
They've been coming soon for months. GIJoe.com serves as an information source, but hasn't been updated in a very long time. So what's its purpose? Some of us love the lore and would like to see more characters added and existing bios expanded upon.

It was a marketing tie-in for the initial launch of Classified and Hasbro making sure they keep the gijoe.com domain. It was an information source for potential new collectors in the absence of new media at the time.
But asking about the website might not be a terrible thing to ask Emily about next time she's around. They clearly haven't completely forgotten it because some of the characters' artwork has updated when Classified-style art became available, and they updated the frontpage for Snake-Eyes: Origins. I doubt it's ever going to expand to be some kind of "Joepedia" and websites for particular brands are often low-priority for toymakers, but suggesting it could be updated or expanded upon wouldn't hurt. At the very least they could add Beachhead, but I doubt they're going to add any characters that they haven't announced or already produced at this point, because too many people already took the Website as some kind of "roadmap" that it wasn't necessarily intended as.

I like the general history of Joe outlined on the site.
What I don't like is the use of any character artwork from the past 40 years. It looks very mish-mash and thrown together. |

If only gijoe.com was as good as yojoe.com in its prime.
I believe I heard the Honcho say when he was an employee, he used yojoe.com as a reference. |

I expected it would have the bios of all the new and coming Classified figures, and just assumed it was a blueprint for who was coming.
Guess it isn't, though. But it should be! |
