I agree with ShadowNinja. I already had my o-ring G.I. Joes 35 years ago. I prefer the newer Modern Era figures we’ve been getting for the past decade. More articulated, more detailed, more accessories. It’s like owning a Lamborghini Aventador with a 6.5 liter V-12 at 729 horsepower and saying I rather have an 1988 Lamborghini Countach with it’s underpowered 5.2 liter V-12 at 455 horsepower. If Hasbro ends up making these supposedly O-ring Retro figures, good for you when that day comes. I guarantee that they will not be 100% “replicas” of the way they were. And we’ll just ending up with the same old whining and bitching as always.

Glad to hear both Retro and O-ring figures are on the radar. Hearing that o-ring figure dream is not completely dead is a pleasant surprise.

I'm pretty much on record with my opinion regarding O-rings, but I will reiterate a few things:
I prefer them to ME figures. That is my opinion and as such does not need to be defended. They feel like toys. I have no hopes of any return as the main focus. I do feel like all-new versions with modifications (like with the Ghostbusters and Star Wars Retro) would be better than straight re-releases. I hope every fan gets what they want, whether it be 6 inch, 4 inch, 3 3/4 inch, hell, even the OG 12 inch. I'm still not getting my hopes up anymore. |

The call wasn't published. Here's the full post. Full wrap this weekend. Follow 3DJoes on social or their thread here at the Tank.
Breaking news! We just completed an interview with the G.I.Joe brand team (Halle, Paul, Ben and Lenny) and Chris McLeod (of The Full Force podcast). The Cliff’s Notes are below, and my favorite announcement is at the end: Classified: They are well aware of the distribution issues, especially with the Target Cobra Island exclusives. It was a combination of underestimating demand and Covid related manufacturing and distribution challenges. They ARE planning re-runs and re-issues (like the Cobra Trooper exclusive —> Cobra Infantry non-exclusive release). They ARE considering vehicles but want to make sure they can do them well. News and announcements are coming in June! (six weeks out) Retro: more figures are coming, they would not confirm the wave 4 leak, or who those characters might be. They did not mention more vehicles, although we didn’t have time to ask. Movie: $9.99 figures will differentiate from the $19.99 figures both in articulation, action feature ($9.99 has them, $19.99 does not), AND packaging. $9.99 will come on blister cardbacks, while $19.99 will remain in boxes. $9.99 artwork will be more uniform and movie inspired (not yet shown), while $19.99 artwork (already shown) continues the Classified packaging tradition of commissioning a unique artist for each package. VINTAGE/CLASSIC figures: O-ring is NOT dead! They DO hear your calls for O-ring figures on social. They find it exciting and makes them want to push to make it a reality. Keep up the chatter, they are listening! One item of note: the four Hasbro folks on the line with us today were very nice, genuinely enthusiastic fans of G.I.Joe. They read what you write, so please be kind to the four people on this planet that are most likely to give us what we’d like to see when it comes to the future of G.I.Joe! Stay tuned for a full recap with Chris and Carson on the Full Force this Saturday!
