Vagaries of the trademark system. If Hasbro doesn't renew their TM for the names there isn't shit they can do about it. Personally, I liked it better when Bbi gave them names and ranks, but whatever, it's just a name on a piece of packaging that will be dumpster-bound.

I think it's probably why Hasbro also now use ''long form'' names - e.g. Conrad ''Duke'' Hauser. I very much doubt somebody could trademark ''Duke'' (although with that said, Marvel did it with ''Death'') and make a valid argument as to why nobody else could use it. With that said though, having a military figure at the same scale as GI Joe which also shares their name could be seen as passing off... With all that being considered though, Hasbro doesn't give a shit about GI Joe now anyway, so... /shrug.

Bbi has said the MSRP on the 5 pack is ~$20. We can probably assume a mark-up on Target's end, but it's still gonna be ~$5 a figure.
Also, 3 of these are "new/partially new". The NBC trooper and a couple of others were prototype-only until now. |

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the new G.I Joe ;)
I remember years ago when these were at Target for under $5.00 a piece and end up being clearanced every year after Christmas. Codename: Corba, can it be any more obvious?

I wonder if that SEAL's code name is really supposed to be Frog instead of "Forg". What the hell is Forg?
