Is there a chance Hasbro will ever give us ME/25th style Red Shadow figures. I for one love the look of them. I also love the idea of the Joes having another faction to battle. I was so disappointed this years con set was O-ring style or else I would've been all over them.

Dude. I really hope so. Red Shadows is totally interesting. I REALLY just want some hasbro made IDW versions of Joes and Cobras!

Maybe the GIJCC will make a convetion set of them in the future (which would be cool!), but I can't see Hasbro doing them for a general release...
Heck, Hasbro can't seem to get much beyond Duke/Destro/SE/SS/Cobra Commander, so this would be way outside the box for them |

I doubt it. As much as I'd like a new faction to mix things up, the Con set didn't sell that well. Whether it was because of O-rings, or because the characters aren't as well known on this side of the pond (or more likely a combination of the two) is hard to say, but Hasbro isn't likely to take a chance.

I know they may not be able to support a full blown release over here, but I'd love to see them reworked into either Renegades, or the new Joe (Movies/PoC).
Possibly, as an organization Cobra works with overseas. I'd dig seeing an "Action Man" european based undercover team if they reworked them. Almost like a small team of Chuckles style agents. While much like the classic Blueshirt, I love the design of the old school Red Shadows. However, I'd like to see them brought into modern times, ala Cobra Shock Trooper. I know someone on here used an RoC Destro to make a custom Black Major that was straight up awesomesauce. It'd be nice, but we're probably not going to see it.
