Interesting. I hope GI Joe is in the toy aisles again, like back when Rise of Cobra was in the cinemas.

While I'm happy for the UK, I still wonder if Hasbro (US, I mean) is aware there's a Brexit coming up, which will probably result in Hasbro not simply being able to ship items from the UK to mainland Europe anymore (at least not without going through the whole customs process and paying import taxes and handling fees). A lot of European fans, myself included, currently import their Hasbro figures (Marvel Legends, GI Joe, Star Wars...) from the UK, something which might become a lot more difficult and expensive when the Brexit is finally a fact. It genuinely amazes me how little Hasbro seems to be aware of this... Their European strategy seems to be almost non existent. Pure in numbers France and Germany have a potential customer base that's bigger than the UK. The whole EU is many times bigger and even bigger than the US market. And still Hasbro doesn't manage to take advantage of this and often fails to bring their products to potential customers in those countries?

Odd since the original release date for the movie has come and gone you would think these would have already been filed.

It is indeed strange considering Hasbro's track record on Trademark vs. Release Dates of their movies.

Hasbro has a habit of applying for a trademark approximately a year before the movie release. This pattern is a regular one other than for delayed movie years.

But for Snake Eyes, they've applied before a year it's true, but they should have applied on October 2019.
