super happy that Roni Noyman is out. I remember her from the first Fan First presentation they did. I think she didn't know much about Joes - The shitty Classified plan of action and the garbage Retro line came out under her watch.
The other lines she managed at Hasbro : Mr. Potato Head, furReal, Playskool, Easy Bake Oven and Baby Alive. I'll elaborate later, but I kind of get the feeling she was always an "interim" manager until things got going with the reboot with Snake Eyes. She just got stuck working stuff an extra year because of the film delay(s). She was there to help get stuff done for the Snake Eyes push and then Hasbro would figure out where to move staff. Quote:

John Warden is seeming in charge of the "Emerging Brands" section of the Boys Division. That means he's basically in charge of anything that isn't Franchise (Transformers) or Partner (Marvel and Star Wars), so he doesn't just have GI Joe to manage, but Ghostbusters and Power Rangers. And if Micronauts gets going, he'll probably inherit that as well. The long term goal is to grow these brands to the point they can become Franchise brands (Power Rangers will probably "graduate" in the next couple years to that status), but that is never a guarantee. GI Joe is NOT its own team. That means it's not going to be addressed like it was 8 or so years ago. As much awesome he's done in Transformers, he's also contributed to the Cyberverse toy line, some of the WORST TOYS to carry the Transformers branding. More over, the industry is not as it was when he designed all those amazing GI Joe products. He does great work, but he IS subject to the whims of marketing and the market itself. I just think some of you are thinking his return will automatically mean a return to what we were getting a decade ago...and I don't think that will be the case.

I'm just a little disappointed that this means we'll never get Easy-Bake Oven Roadblock Edition. What else would make the #1 Best Seller in Kids' Cooking Appliances better than a snazzy Hawaiian print pattern and a figure to match it?

His Cobra arch enemy was supposed to be a mail away Gordon Ramsey, kitchen viper commander, but the planned flag point promotion thru Crate and Barrel didn't pan out. |

Hopefully this means we will actually be able to buy the classified line in stores one day and end the damn eBay exclusives

Thanks to everyone who weighed in. This does at least sound like a step in a positive direction for the G.I. Joe brand.

Yep. I guess they pulled Warden back in because the Classified brand is now the hottest and most exciting action figure line on the market. He has an incredible track record and this new assignment proves Hasbro has gotten serious about GI Joe once again.
