General Scarlett Hell hath no fury.... Offline --> Posts: 7,646 --> Join Date: Dec 2006	Answer Time!!!! And the answers are........... 1) Is there any word on Vehicles and/or Playsets being made, or Joe Cartoons being released on DVD??? These are all options the team is currently considering as we expand the 25th anniversary. It is too early to reveal our plans for 2008. 2) Are we going to get any more old sculpt style figure 6 packs like the viper pit etc? In the future all sculpts will be in the 25th anniversary style. 3) 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? Great question. For the first wave we wanted to get the most popular characters out in force. This will change as we move forward and the second case pack of wave 1 figures switches over to 2 officers. Also look for the second Cobra 5-pack to meet your troop building needs. 4) 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 toysbefore, still left unmade? Is this going to continue, with more brand-new characters/troops just to allow reuse of molds? We are thrilled with the success of the 25th Annvierary line. In fact, the original plan was for only two 5-packs. Once we saw the figures, we knew we had to do single carded figures as well and the line expanded to 25 figures. Because the single packs were decided after the five packs, you will see some re-used tools in wave 1, but totally new figures in waves 2 and 3 The current plan is that the Collectors Club will continue to work in the 80s type sculpting. 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? No answer given 5) Are we going to see Glenda in any of the upcoming sets? No plans as of right now. __________________ Non illigitamus carborundum~Vos mos non effrego mihi Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

They did give an answer.

Stormer Wasss once a man Offline --> Posts: 1,430 --> Join Date: Nov 2006	That addressed the part just beneath that, asking about the chances of them using old sculpts again, but the part about making up new characters with reused molds (Jet Pack Trooper, unless someone can show me a comic or cartoon they were in?) instead of following their original stated plan of drawing from the 25-year history, wasn't answered. They just started talking about why they're doing single packs... __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.

Cobra used white JUMP jet-packs in the second episode of "Pyramid Of Darkness"-when they were chasing Snakes and Shippy in the Utility Railroad below Enterprise City.
