Hmmmm. I wish we were getting the customs from 2007 still.......none of those came to fruition this year. Zarana, Slaughter, Range-Viper, Raptor, Airtight, Leatherneck (although he's now coming I guess), Lifeline, Shockwave, Pythona, Night Creeper......I think I might be forgetting a few others. Anyways, it doesn't seem like Hasbro is releasing any of their custom mock-ups anytime soon. I'd love it if they did, though!

sorry, buddy, but empirical evidence disputes everything you have stated. while I don't doubt that the process you describe does occur elsewhere within the toy industry, it isn't occurring with G.I. Joe. these customs are in fact just customs, and not "tests" as you are attempting to infer.
last years con had a great display of customs, of which zero have been made, and only one, Leatherneck, is on the docket to be. that doesn't bode well for your assertion that these convention customs are just tests that are going to be made, at least 90% of them. they aren't even mock-ups, they are just customs. I talked wit the maker/designer (Richard Woodhouse) about these customs both last year and this year and both times he repeated to me that these are customs not what hasbro is thinkin of makin.. I was also told by others that it is a way of hasbro sellin more figures as now u aren't goin to just buy (like me) one to keep carded, one to open but now at least two more to use for custom parts. So someone like me is buy 4 or more of each figure. |

because hasbro doesn't really care? I mean they're putting the line on that hiatus so if they cared what fans wanted....they may not have. Just my two cents.
