Hasbro Q & A November

[lehsreh]

[COLOR=Red]
This will be the last Q & A for 08, so if there is something you want to know, now is the time to ask. The deadline is on Monday the 17th and the answers will be sent back on December the 1st. Let's all think of some good questions. Once the questions are posted, let's all check back and decide together on which ones to send in to please the most people. [/COLOR]

[lehsreh]

[COLOR=Red]I'm sure I can think of many question myself, but since I'm going to be sending them in i won't, but I do have two questions.

(1)Will we be getting many more updated figures that are more accurate to who they are supposed to be? By this I mean any like the new updated comic pack beach head?

(2)Although you cannot confirm this, is there a chance that we may see more Oktober Guard figures? Possible a 5 pack or at least Horror show and Diana. If not Oktober Guard is there a chance of any 7 pack extreme conditions for the Joe team.[/COLOR]

[guiltridden]

The usual please can we have some o-ring figures even if they are online exclusives, as long as they weren't overely priced and were not heavily over-used molds they cold make some money using molds they already have and give people who enjoy these figures a cheaper alternative to convention figures

[Lowjacked]

Don't know if these questions have been asked. Tried to reveiw all Q&A's but I know I didn't hit all of them or I don't remember the answers.

1) Is there a chance for "Resolute" to become an on going series if the ratings are high enough?

2) After the release of the movie, is there any chance of getting some of the larger vehicles and playsets down the line if sales and interest continue to grow like the Terror Drome or FLAGG (I know this is a longshot)?

3) Will we see any more troop building sets like that of the Crimson guard, Greenshirts, and Cobra Nightwatch (specifically Cobra Blueshirts and Infantry Vipers)?

I'll be thinking up more. . .

[/QUOTE]

[COLOR=Red]they have touched on this one. they said that if the net internet resolute series goes well, they will be looking for a network to pick it up much like star wars clone wars.[/COLOR]

[vespapilot79]

Has the ? benn asked if there is a possibility of a reproduction of the Joe base or Cobra terror dome?

[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Hasbro has already released a new Beachhead in the comic 2 packs with Mainframe. The new Beachhead uses the original 25th body but with a newly sculpted body armor that looks just like version 1 Beachhead, an ammo bag like version 1 with a removable ammo clip, and not 1 but 2 new head sculpts. One retooled masked head and one new maskless head, complete with a pulled down mask accessory so Beachhead can go maskless or pulled down over half his face, its a repaint of the same mask the Extreme Condition Major Bludd has.

yeah, thats what i was asking, if we were going to be getting others like those[/COLOR]

[Fisher]

Hah I misread after seeing this, I feel dumb. The new BH is great by the way, I picked him up yesterday along with the other 2 new comic packs.


As for a question, I am not sure what has been asked lately seeing as how I have been gone since May or so (life has been nuts), I have nothing to ask currently. I will have to backup and read for a bit.

I 2nd this as a question.If they would do another release of something like the TRU Cobra Infantry 6-Pack,it would sell out Faster than they could make them,just like the first run did!There are alot of O-Ring molds they could use as DTC only Figures,and how about an Arctic 6-Pack using the V-1 Snow Serpent mold.I really don't think they would have a problem selling them,if they would just give it a try...

I 3rd this. They could even release the con BATs as a 6-pack. Please include this o-ring question this time.

[Sonneilon]

The 1st run was underproduced. Hasbro, for some reason, didn't think they'd sell AND worse yet, they just plain never wanted to do it. They'd rather push a mold they can try and get their money back on, like... Oh... Hawk's mold into Falcon or the use of molds we tend to hate.

Look at 25A. They KEEP on using the 25A Duke arms, if that makes any sense! They know they suck. They've already built NEW arms... but man... Anyway...


I thought it was in the last Q&A there was talk of doing some classic ARAH type bodies which I ASSumed meant o-ring. Kinda like how Hasbro was busy doing bastard sculpts and still doing ARAH for comic packs and 6-packs. So with the new body type... They could do special packs with o-rings but I still see that as a step backwards.

[troopsofdoom]

Would you consider releasing 25A Accessory Packs? (Same idea as the 80's but no weird colors colors.)

I know the answer to this - No. They claim they don't sell well enough.

[General Jones]

That's why we have Marauders. :D

[Sonneilon]

Yeah! Support Marauders! $1.45 shipping worldwild (as far as I know). That way, you can get whole sets of weapons to equip your figures!

I feel your pain as well Dustin, but I know better than to even ask anymore. :mad:

[lehsreh]

[COLOR=Red]we didnt really get a lot of questions this time around, i guess everyone is losing interest in the same answers. anyhow, i picked the questions, actually put them together where we got to ask them all in 5 questions. i hope these are alright with everyone as i have to send them tonight because i will not have time the rest of the week and the deadline is monday.

2) Although you cannot confirm this, is there a chance that we may see more Oktober Guard figures? Possible a 5 pack or at least Horror show and Diana. If not Oktober Guard is there a chance of any 7 pack extreme conditions for the Joe team, we love the troop packs.

guiltridden and everyone else

lowjacked


5) With the success of the line and the movie around the cornor, is there now a possibility of getting some of the larger vehicles and playsets? Maybe a Joe Base, Flagg or Cobra Terror Dome, or at least some 25th accessory packs?

[Rambo]

Thanks for including o-ring question.

[Trench-Viper]

If you could ask if the movie toys would be in scale with the regular Joes it would be great.

[lehsreh]

[QUOTE=Trench-Viper]If you could ask if the movie toys would be in scale with the regular Joes it would be great.[/QUOTE]

[COLOR=Red]there going to be the exact same as the 25th. same design and everything. the only difference is the figures will be from the movie.[/COLOR]

[Trench-Viper]

Thanks for the info Lehsresh!
