View Poll Results: Should Hasbro produce the Oktober Guard? | |||
Da, they deserve a few slots among the 30th anniversary releases. | 68 | 45.03% | |
Not at retail, but they'd make a good online exclusive. | 55 | 36.42% | |
They'd be a good JoeCon set, as only a few really dedicated collector's would want these. | 17 | 11.26% | |
There are at least a half dozen or more sub-teams I'd rather see before the OGs | 9 | 5.96% | |
Anyone at Hasbro who signs off on these should be fired. | 2 | 1.32% | |
Voters: 151. You may not vote on this poll |

Hasbro bluntly stated in the last Q&A that, while they thought the Oktober Guard were great characters, they have no plans to produce them. "Now that they are remaking Red Dawn, it seems like the Red Scare is back in vogue. These were and are great characters in the G.I. Joe storyline, however, we don't have any plans for their return."
Of course, much the same was said about Kwinn, the Skystriker, and other fan favorites. Hasbro can change their mind. I was inspired to do this thread when I saw pics of these guys: IDW Publishing Forums :: View topic - Soviets Invade San Fran!! |

These guys really went above and beyond in utilizing some authentic East Bloc stuff.
Poll added. I'm going with the first option. Since Kwinn finally made the cut as a single card release (which I approve of), so should Brekhov, Daina, and Horrorshow (at the least). |

I've wanted to see the Guard in ME form, but at this stage in my collecting, I can't say that I want them in single carded form. An online boxed set would definitely be good, though.

I went with an online exclusive so we could get them all at once. I like the Guard and think that they have a lot of room to work with since the wall has fallen to reinvent these characters.
