OK Here's a few:

1. Since your making Cartoon Versions of certain characters, does this mean will be seeing figures packed with a cartoon DVD?

2. Will we be seeing a DDP version of Joe Colton in the 25th line of figures?

3. How involved is Larry Hama in the New G.I. JOE Movie?

4. When will we start seeing the 25th line vehicles hit the stores?

5. How do you pick which figure gets made for the 25th line?

and in production G.I. JOE: COBRA UNITED

Will the Target Exclusive vehicles (and any possible future releases) have retooled footpegs to fit the smaller peg holes of the new figures?

While we understand the reasoning for having the "iconic" characters (Snake-eyes, Cobra Commander, Duke) on shelves, will any of the more prolific characters be getting a "rest" similar to what was done with Duke near the end of the 8" line?

Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

-Are there plans for "themed" 5-packs akin to the 6-packs of yesteryear that included the Plague vs Steel Brigade and the Joe Colton themes?

-When the 25A is done, are there plans to move GI Joe ahead? ie: will we see the rest of the Plague?

-Are there ANY plans to release a 5-pack that has, perhaps; 1 Cobra Officer and 4 Cobra Troopers (w/ red symboled chest and black gear)????

1) Is Gungho going to be in the new movie?

If its not too late I'd like to add one more question.

We've gotten Stalker, Breaker, Scarlett, Snake-eyes, Hawk, Rock 'n' Roll and Grunt (coming soon) so will we see the rest of the "Original 13" released in 25th style?

1. Are the remainder of the original 13 slated for release in any format, whether it be a single, comic, or multi-pack?

2. Will any future characters have to be renamed or identified by their specialties or file names in order to bypass any copyright laws so they can see release?

3. Are the main Marvel comics the only Joe publishings slated for 2-pack treatment? I'd like to see some characters from some of the other books that have been released, like Frontline, America's Elite, "Declassified"s, either Special missions series, Master & Apprentice, or any of the newer story arcs from other publishers (the Joe/Transformer crossovers may be a bit of a stretch, but I'll mention those too).

4. What are the chances of seeing larger playsets (Terror Drome, Flagg, etc.) or vehicles (including fighter planes) being released for this line or the movie line?

5. Will the latest and future merchandise offerings be readily available (barring any distribution issues) at all of the stores currently carrying your merchandise, as well as HasbroToyShop.Com?

Ok, here's a listing of the current questions posed for this round. Note that the questions which already have answers are in 'Navy/Red'.

Questions that are up for consideration are in 'Orange'.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Since your making Cartoon Versions of certain characters, does this mean will be seeing figures packed with a cartoon DVD?

See this link from JoeBattlelines:
http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/vi...php?f=86&t=4316

Will we be seeing a DDP version of Joe Colton in the 25th line of figures?

Since DDP has lost the rights, this one will most likely be a moot question to ask at this stage


How involved is Larry Hama in the New G.I. JOE Movie?

See this link from JoeBattlelines:
http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/vi...php?f=63&t=3886

-When will we start seeing the 25th line vehicles hit the stores?

-How do you pick which figure gets made for the 25th line?

-Will the Target Exclusive vehicles (and any possible future releases) have retooled footpegs to fit the smaller peg holes of the new figures?

-While we understand the reasoning for having the "iconic" characters (Snake-eyes, Cobra Commander, Duke) on shelves, will any of the more prolific characters be getting a "rest" similar to what was done with Duke near the end of the 8" line?

-Are there plans for "themed" 5-packs akin to the 6-packs of yesteryear that included the Plague vs Steel Brigade and the Joe Colton themes?

See this link from JoeBattlelines:
http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/vi...php?f=86&t=4316

-When the 25A is done, are there plans to move GI Joe ahead? ie: will we see the rest of the Plague?

As of right now, good money's on the fact that they are just churning out figures and the like in a ramp up for the movie. Unless they plan on '25th-ing' the Plague storyline......


-Are there ANY plans to release a 5-pack that has, perhaps; 1 Cobra Officer and 4 Cobra Troopers (w/ red symboled chest and black gear)????

after the movie toys die down, will you revert back to the 25th line of action figures and continue going through the line making the other figures?

This question will be tabled for future use

is there any chance that you will make the 25th figures easier to customize with the old joe figures?

Come on, we know that this isn't going to happen


will there be wal-mart exclusives?

what are the chance that you will answer all this questions this round with anything other then, "we have no plans as of now" or, "we will wait and see" or, "we will pass it on"?

This is redundant.

Is Gungho going to be in the new movie?

See this sub-section of JoeBattlelines
http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=63

How much longer are we going to have to put up with Hasbro throwing out so many different versions of the same characters like Snake Eyes, Duke, Cobra Commander, etc.

Come on now, we all know the answer to this one.....


Are there any plans to release GI Joe toys outside the US?



Will the movie toys be done in the same style as the 25th line, classic 3.75" (o-ring) or something different entirely?

We know that the 25th line is THE design that Hasbro is using


Is there any possibility of seeing GI Joe Transformers (ideally as 3.75"-scale vehicles, or at least to scale with the Star Wars Transformers)?


You're going to continue with 25th style figures until such a time that the line ends rather than ever go back to o-ring construction, right?

You answered your own question

Are Ace and any Cobra pilots going to be in the Movie?

I'd stay current with this sub-section of JoeBattlelines:

http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=63

Why do the 25th Anniversary Scarlett, Baroness, Roadblock, and Destro not have the double knee articulation that the rest have?

This is most likely due to the die molds

Any plans for a playset for the 25th Anniversary figure, now that you've seen how well the line has done?

See this link from JoeBattlelines:
http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/vi...php?f=86&t=4316

Are there more vehicles coming after the initial assortment?

Considering the 'ramping up' that's being brought forth with the movie coming up, this is most likely a given.

Vehicles and Playsets - what plans are afoot in this regard. Are there more RAH 80's vehicles coming, or any plans to remake from new molds any classic vehicles or playsets?

See this link from JoeBattlelines:
http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/vi...php?f=86&t=4316


Figures - can we expect to see any more 82-87 figures such as Clutch, Mainframe, Dialtone, Lifeline, Steeler etc etc.. or is the plan to move on into the later 80's and 90's?


Sgt Slaughter - why no slaughter? Can you confirm that you do not hold the rights in their entirety to make this figure? Can you acquire the rights or is this a dead issue?

Licensing and copyrighting are long and often drawn out procedures. Time will tell

-We've gotten Stalker, Breaker, Scarlett, Snake-eyes, Hawk, Rock 'n' Roll and Grunt (coming soon) so will we see the rest of the "Original 13" released in 25th style?
1. Are the remainder of the original 13 slated for release in any format, whether it be a single, comic, or multi-pack?

These 2 are the same question, essentially. See this sub-forum from JoeBattlelines:
http://joebattlelines.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=86


Will any future characters have to be renamed or identified by their specialties or file names in order to bypass any copyright laws so they can see release?

Are the main Marvel comics the only Joe publishings slated for 2-pack treatment? I'd like to see some characters from some of the other books that have been released, like Frontline, America's Elite, "Declassified"s, either Special missions series, Master & Apprentice, or any of the newer story arcs from other publishers (the Joe/Transformer crossovers may be a bit of a stretch, but I'll mention those too).


What are the chances of seeing larger playsets (Terror Drome, Flagg, etc.) or vehicles (including fighter planes) being released for this line or the movie line?

Let's see how the current set of playsets/vehicles go over.


Will the latest and future merchandise offerings be readily available (barring any distribution issues) at all of the stores currently carrying your merchandise, as well as HasbroToyShop.Com
