Yes, on Instagram. The news kind of got buried, but it was today's post with a photo of Cobra Commander standing in front of a bunch of tan troopers.

Here's what he said:

“Final blackmajor release” meaning that’s it? Or for the year?

blackmajor
@atwooddan final as an #gameover

He retired before and came back though, so maybe it’ll be an MJ thing and we’ll see him again down the road as a Wizard?

That's a bummer if Black Major walks away. Red Laser hasn't done much in a while either.

Red Laser and Black Major both out of business now. That stinks. Getting new o ring figures for a while was fun while it lasted

Well, I shan't weep for them. Given how arrogant, unhelpful and rude they were to me everytime I so much as tried asking about products, accessories or even the most simplest question: SHIPPING COSTS and how to pay them...they lost me as a potential repeat customer years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro put in a cease and desist legal order on them both...probably they upset a lot if folks, maybe some of them told Hasbro.

I'm not sorry in saying this, but good riddance.

I never had any negative experiences with either of them, but I certainly don’t blame you if yours wasn’t a positive one. I just love the product, and Hasbro could care less about providing a true retro line for Joe as they have other properties like Star Wars and Ghostbusters. These guys provided a product to a customer base that Hasbro ignored. So I will always appreciate them for that. Gave me a few more years to enjoy expanding my o ring figure collection.

I heartily agree with your points about them providing collectors with vintage style products. Alas, had they both treated me with a modicum of respect and a realisation that I was a potential repeat customer, I'dbe get sad by the announcement they've ceased trading...



However, I reckon they'll be back. Give it a year or two...

I think Red Laser is done. I think something may have happened to the molds he had in China. Black Major, yeah, I could see him coming back or selling his operation again. I wondered if they got a cease and desist but I don’t think so as BM is still going to release some more stuff before he quits. I would think if Hasbro had shut him down, they’d have done so immediately.
