Yeah I have to look at this the same way, in a positive manner. Since the introduction of Hasbro re-releasing the o-rings I have accumulated, from ebay and Hisstank bros, almost every single vintage Joe and Cobra action figures that I owned back in the 80s, for fairly decent prices. Plus, because of Hasbro Pulse I now own the vintage inspired Cobra Troopers, Cobra Officers, Cobra Commander and Duke, which I've never owned before. Plus because of the other offerings I'll soon be the proud owner of oring Baroness, Scarlett, Stinger w/Driver, Stalker, and a badass Skystriker all of which I also never owned back in the 80s.

My Baroness is awesome! A bit Daria-eyed and the Cobra logo could be centered a bit better, but that's just me being a nitpicky old fart. The card is the thin stuff some of you can't stand, so maybe wait and hope they re-release it separately if you don't want MegaHISS. Speaking of, goddamn dream come true for me. I mean that literally. I dreamed of my Joe toys transforming when I was a kid (I'm sure we all did), and about 40 years later, there's a transforming HISS sitting on my desk. What a world! Probably not worth $90 though...unless you're a man-child of the 80s, in which case it's worth so much more than $90!

Is there going to be ANY GI Joe at NYCC? I figure we’d have a whiff of info by now if there was something unexpected revealed there.

I think they should focus the line on variations and hard-to-find originals:
- Sunbow variations - Comic book variations - International limited released (like Europe exclusive Tiger Force, Mexican Black and Red Storm Shadows, some of the more interesting Funskool figures, etc.) - Expensive troop builders like the B.A.T.S., Crimson Guards and Vipers) This, coupled with some of the more sought after vehicles (Rattler!) would make for some great offerings. |

I think nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the o-ring line. The Joe team seem to be a lot more dedicated to the Classified line, so it's not surprising that BATS had another run, as did Dr. Mindbender (which I believe got 3 additional pre-orders, if I'm not mistaken). One would think the logical thing to do with the Stinger is to do another run, but we haven't heard anything with regards to the o-ring line, so there's no way to know... In contrast, when Classified Dr. Mindbender sold out, fans complained, and Emily responded straight away to reassure fans another pre-order would come... and then did the same a couple more times... there was no such messaging to o-ring fans when the Stinger sold out in a day.

I think that's just a side-effect of the Internet era.

Daria grew up to become Baroness is now my head-canon.

They need to release some product. The line won?t do well if it?s so small. People want to see their period represented so release some

Did y'all see the Transformers "retro movie" Starscream and Hot Rod at Walmart yesterday? Totally different box, somewhat different colors/paints, but they're the original toys (well, Starscream is, I'm not so sure about Hot Rod). So Hasbro is doing precisely what you're suggesting above this very moment - just not for GI Joe (that we know of).
