Freestyle is not relegated, consigned, or permanently assigned to the G.I. Joe Sky Sweeper Jet, (a specially modified F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft fitted with a detachable Spy Plane on the underside). She is a dependable pilot capable of delivering a remotely piloted Night Force Spy Plane quickly into the midst of the enemy, thus allowing Sneak Peek, the Night Force Advanced Recon member, to observe and report unnoticed. If they ever produce a specially modified F-22 Raptor toy with a detachable Spy Plane for that mission, I will gladly switch to the Raptor.

That's answered in the highly acclaimed book, The Joy of JoeCon, by Bill Nedrow, when the G.I. Joe Collector's Club founder and president, Brian Savage said the following during an interview with the author:
Just to set the record straight, at the end, we walked away from the contract, as we felt we had made just about all the figures anybody could want and it was becoming too much for us. Conventions are hard and very risky. My family made the decision to stop while there was still interest in the brand. It's kind of like a pro-athlete getting out after many successful years before he/she gets injured. Thus, Hasbro didn't cancel our contract; we chose not to continue.
