One small portion of the Hardcover project relies on the old creators. I’m “getting the old band back together” to design one more figure, from concept sketches through to final package art. We’re part way through that process, and I don’t want to launch the Kickstarter until I know it will all come together. Trust me, it will be worth the wait! |

Thanks for doing this! Yojoe has been a site I have gone to since I was 16 years old (1998) so to see the spirit of that site live on through 3DJoes means alot to me!

Any chance we can change version numbers? For example flash and Sgt flash can be on the same numbering system and not have a version 1 etc for each?

Where this might get messy, unfortunately, is something like Heavy Metal changing his code name to Rampage. They have the same file name and are the same character, but it seems weird to call Rampage "v2" when there's no prior figure called Rampage. Likewise, The Sky Patrol figure called Airborne is a different character than the original Airborne. Should he be v2 or should they both be v1? Issues like that become tough judgment calls. |

Yeah, I really hate the way YoJoe resets the version numbers with any change to a character name. Neither "General Hawk" nor "Lt. Falcon" should be a v1. They're the same characters as Hawk and Falcon.

Stupid inconsistencies like this are very frustrating. |

I vote option 1, your sample picture looks great, and would much rather have a WHOBIT replacement sooner. Can't wait to see the results!

Breaking news!
We just completed an interview with the G.I.Joe brand team (Halle, Paul, Ben and Lenny) and Chris McLeod (of The Full Force podcast). The Cliff’s Notes are below, and my favorite announcement is at the end: Classified: They are well aware of the distribution issues, especially with the Target Cobra Island exclusives. It was a combination of underestimating demand and Covid related manufacturing and distribution challenges. They ARE planning re-runs and re-issues (like the Cobra Trooper exclusive —> Cobra Infantry non-exclusive release). They ARE considering vehicles but want to make sure they can do them well. News and announcements are coming in June! (six weeks out) Retro: more figures are coming, they would not confirm the wave 4 leak, or who those characters might be. They did not mention more vehicles, although we didn’t have time to ask. Movie: $9.99 figures will differentiate from the $19.99 figures both in articulation, action feature ($9.99 has them, $19.99 does not), AND packaging. $9.99 will come on blister cardbacks, while $19.99 will remain in boxes. $9.99 artwork will be more uniform and movie inspired (not yet shown), while $19.99 artwork (already shown) continues the Classified packaging tradition of commissioning a unique artist for each package. VINTAGE/CLASSIC figures: O-ring is NOT dead! They DO hear your calls for O-ring figures on social. They find it exciting and makes them want to push to make it a reality. Keep up the chatter, they are listening! One item of note: the four Hasbro folks on the line with us today were very nice, genuinely enthusiastic fans of G.I.Joe. They read what you write, so please be kind to the four people on this planet that are most likely to give us what we’d like to see when it comes to the future of G.I.Joe! Stay tuned for a full recap with Chris and Carson on the Full Force this Saturday! |
