Their road map/plan has been terrible: the initial designs with their garish gold accents were lukewarm, their distribution atrocious. When you can't even supply enough figures for the demand of people who pay extra for their premium Pulse membership, there is something wrong. Every other toy line they produce has a designated space in toy aisles and at least SOME representation of those lines on pegs (Transformers, Marvel, Star Wars, etc). I don't believe the demand is that ridiculous but the supply has been underwhelming. Vipers and Troopers would have been pegwarmers back in the day. If you want to blame troop-builders or scalpers, go ahead. But Hasbro could easily put an end to that by meeting demand like they should be.

Lying about miles per gallon a car gets, that's false advertising. That's being sold a bill of false goods. They can put character bios on a site and kill the line the very next day simply citing "Sorry, we have decided to cancel the line." No, other reason. You have only disappointed expectations, not false advertising.
Remember when they would have to put fine print on commercials and such, "Weapons do not actually fire."? It's there to avoid false advertising claims because people don't grasp the "magic of television". There is no promise many of these or all of these will see a figure. Many of those bios (some of which have been released) still have decades older artwork. For all we know, those bios could be for the Blackout or whatever game (DLC or sequel) only. |

Because fans started to piss and moan the SECOND the line was revealed about the cartoony/bright colors in use. Gung Ho also shows signs his deco was altered from what his Evergreen design was intended to use.
The fuss over NOT getting that variant as part of NTWK's BS lead to Hasbro offering the figure as a made to order

Fred was right. When I went to see if the figures released coincided with character's on gijoe.com. There was this message from L.J.
"SORRY, THE CLASSIFIED FILE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS NOT IN MY DATABASE YET." -LADY JAYE So either they're updating the site or they scrapped it.

So I went back on the gijoe.com to see which figures on site have been released out of the eighteen JOEs on the sight eleven have been announced or released with Gen. Hawk being the only A lister left, (if you include Hawk as an A list character. I would be very surprised if Gen. Hawk wasn't announced this year. Assuming of course there are more figures to be announced.
On the COBRA side 21 characters on the site all but four have been announced and/or released. The thing about the three that haven't been announced two of them are Dreadnoks and the other figure is the Sand Scorpion. But Fred, there's a gang of characters that weren't on the website that come out. Yes there were. However, I don't think it's a coincidence that figures that were on website have been released. Case in point Covergirl. Hasbro Pulse Yo JOE! June Instagram Live FanStream 6/1/22 This for the dudes that are rushing to say Road Pig hasn't been announced yet, go to 14:40 - 14:58 of the clip. Granted Road Pig hasn't been "officially," announced and isn't slated to debut in Classified next year, but he is coming and this is one of at least three times that Lenny has said that Road Pig is coming to Classified.
