I think it's fair to say that Hasbro isn't going to care about what's happening in G.I. Joe comics and make toys based on those story lines until the comics are being published by Marvel. Just a hunch looking at my Retaliation Kwinn action figure. It's a movie toy line now, and it's making me sad.
Again, IDW GI Joe (bar volume 3, maybe) just isn't terribly marketable to kids. Quote:
I'm thinking a next stage evolution for G.I. Joe will require letting ARAH die with a failed movie, and then taking like a six-year break to develop new entertainment media. Think the 1976-1982 gap between the last of the Adventure Team offerings and the intro of ARAH Original 13. Hasbro went Hollywood, why not take the time to develop a GOOD video game through their partners at EA, Activision or THQ?
Also, a good video game doesn't mean sure fire success. Again, Call of Duty is the most successful game out there right now, but I'm not seeing Call of Duty action figures. (Also, THQ has been dead for several years now, so they aren't in a position to make anything :p )

Maybe not full on action figures but Call of Duty has...Mega Blocks !! (On those store shelves, sometimes you can find peoples' toy stashes behind them)
lol...oh, and a largely ignored WWII-era line of McFarlane stactions. Last edited by Wylde Weezle; 02-05-2015 at 07:56 PM.. |

The 2 inch scale with highly detailed, super poseable figures (done like MB does their figures) is the way I really think Joe should go...and to be clear NOT like their current 2 inch Hasbro offerings for Marvel. You would not believe the Halo universe I have build because of the 2 inch figures, vehicles, and structures. THIS is the scale we could get the Whale, the Cobra hydrofoil, the Joe base, the Flagg and the Terror Drome. They could even do a TF crossover line in this scale.
