Ya, like the guy above said, can someone weigh in who knows more and tell us what does this mean? Does this mean that Hasbro lost faith in Lenny and did not like how he was handling the brand? Could this mean Joe is going in the right direction now? Does this vindicate the posters here who said things weren't going well for the brand? What does it mean that it is now with two other brands? Is that good, bad, or doesn't matter? Could this mean we will be able to get products more easily?
Feel free to ask or answer any other questions I couldn't think of. Here's hoping he can pull the same magic for GI joe |

I don't know anything about this man, but that's promising if this means the Retro line will have Concept Vault figures!!!

But someone should be in the media division producing better Joe shows.

Make Cobra Island a shared exclusive line so I can preorder from BBTS or Dorkside.

I'm mainly a Transformers guy and Transformers has had a massive renaissance under his leadership with War for Cybertron, so I can only hope things get better from here on out.
Also I hope that retailers in Australia start stocking any Joe related stuff, but I digress. :P

Roni Noyman was the brand lead from 2/15/20 til now. Warden a good choice, I've seen him in alot of interviews on the box set of the cartoon.

Word of Mr. Warden heading the brand is very promising news. First and foremost, he's a really nice guy. Personality aside, he's responsible for absolute awesomeness (POC, WFC, et al), so I'm excited to see what he's going to do with the brand.
As for Lenny joining him, I'll save judgement. Maybe now Nigel Thornberry can stop passing off shitty 25th bucks as something he casted an hour ago. |

An excellent decision to have John Warden once again work with a brand that he loves so much.
He did some excellent design work for this brand in 2008-2009 back when Michelino Paolino was the Director of Design, and even made the Rise of Cobra movie line figures interesting with such additions as the G.I. Joe Pit Commando, Cobra Night Adder, Bench Press, Ice Storm, and more. Together with designer Richard Woodhouse, they rocked this brand a decade ago, and are in part to blame for why I have so many rooms filled with G.I. Joe product today. Thank you, Hasbro, for calling in reinforcements. Yo Joe!

This very VERY exciting. John Warden has lead to the creation of some of the most successful iterations in design for so many properties.
Anyone that doesn't think this is great news needs to give specific reasons. Because this is one of the best things to happen to the brand since Classified was announced.
