X-Men '97 as well, though the animation isn't really that similar to the '92 cartoon. I would love a Sunbow-style season 3 40 years later for Joe.

Even with Star Wars a virtual wasteland until the Mando movie I'm sure Hasbro wants to be in on a possible Baby Yoda craze reignition.

Although Disney does nominally make their own 3.75 Star Wars (whether they are made by Disney or just Disney not listing Hasbro on the package is anyone's guess).

Hasbro cannot drop Star Wars and/or Marvel. Disney can drop Hasbro since they own the IPs. Star Wars and Marvel accounted for 18% of Hasbro’s revenue in 2023. They cannot make up that kind of a loss. Star Wars and Marvel would be fine without Hasbro making their toys. Hasbro would not be fine not making Star Wars and Marvel toys.

Transformers, Play-Doh and Hasbro gaming combined for 65% of revenue. GI Joe, which is listed under portfolio brands, was part of a group that accounted for just 10% of revenue.

I am waiting to see the 2024 numbers compare to the above 2023 numbers.

Star Wars certainly isn't going anywhere and neither are Marvel, Transformers, and Classified. D&D? Indiana Jones? Both are already DOA anyway.

Not really following it but for some reason I assumed Indy was dropped already?

Could see it maybe as a VAMP-type release, but it could work as a Deluxe if they really had it in scale with the original 3.75" to figure ratio, couldn't they?

Interesting. Hope gi joe breaks out of that category. Maybe some of the other portfolio brands they should cut?

I may be even more pumped for a Moray HasLab than the Rattler. I think they're tied for my favorite vehicles. Never owned the original Skystriker and don't think they'd do that anyway.

I still feel like the WHALE and Moray somehow feel like a bridge too far in terms of size, shelf-space, etc. OTOH, I also still feel like as long as we keep throwing our money at them, what's stopping them? I'd just hate to start seeing them start to try and save money by cutting out play features or details.

I would like to see a cartoon or comic covering the 87 -88 years. something to bridge the gap between Sunbow and the DIC cartoons with it starting right after the movie ended

"Butt Scoot Bazooka" sounds questionable.

I think the actual toy made them lay on their stomachs more than the artwork suggests.
