Please throw down your questions in THIS thread. Prudential will compile the questions and email them in. Please do not email them yourself!

are we going to see Glenda in any of the upcoming sets,?

Is there any word on Vehicles and/or Playsets being made, or Joe Cartoons being released on DVD??? :)

Are we going to get any more old sculpt style figure 6 packs like the viper pit etc?

yeah, forget everything else, ask about a cartoon. that has to the one most important question there is. thats the one i was trying to think of, i knew i had one i couldnt remember.

John Warden is the new guy who seems to basically be in charge of most of the 25A stuff (at least the looks of it, etc).

Warden is NOT a fan of "updated looks".. he wants classic characters in classic uniforms. The "updated" Serpentor was not his idea, and by the time he was made aware of it, it was too late to change him back. This is apparently true for a few other figures and/or certain aspects of some of the figures.

Why are army building figures (such as the Cobra Trooper and future Cobra Trooper releases) being placed 1 per 8 figure case and 1 per 5 pack, yet each case seems to have 2 Snake Eyes, 2 Storm Shadows, and 2 Cobra Commanders. 1 Flint, 1 Cobra Officer. We need some cannon fodder, Hasbro!

Why are we already getting repaints making new characters (Cobra Jet Pack Trooper) when there are so many characters from the 25-year history, including ones only seen in the comics and cartoon and not toys before, still left unmade? Is this going to continue, with more brand-new characters/troops just to allow reuse of molds?

And more important because it actually affects the money Hasbro could get from me:

What are the odds, or % chances, of old-style sculpt figures ever being released again outside the Collectors Club?
