Better question is if we'll see the India facility actually produce GI Joe toys like what has happened with My Little Pony.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a lot of Hasbro production move to India. Other industries already have.
Maybe that's why we got Funskool colored Windmill! |

That's a good point ViperLord.
Anyone know or have any idea how popular Funskool GIJoe was at it's height in INdia? I mean were 1,000,000 units sold? Are there die hard Funskool Joe fans in India who grew up collecting GIJOE? Just wondering if there is a market for Joes there like Transformers?

Yeah are they already doing so? I mean Hasbro didn't even make ANY figures in 2017, and the 2016 offerings were a little light. I mean the original 82 wave wasn't much bigger than 2016's output, but they followed up with more the next year in vehicles and playsets. HASBRO did absolutely NOTHING in 2017. Thank god for the Club but still.

Starting a couple of years ago, Hasbro moved to expand beyond simply using China for toy production (due in no small part to the frequent factory leaks and increasing production costs). Transformers are mostly made in Vietnam these days, and last I knew, a large percentage of My Little Pony is being split between India and Vietnam.
One of the issues I feel is impacting Joe is the fact ALL of GI Joe's assets are in China, which is likely impacting Hasbro's reluctance to simply "release stuff", since Joe is costing more to produce than some Transformers stuff which sells better.

I’d seriously buy “30th Anniversary Complan Commandos” were they available.
