Does the fact that the wave 3 alpha vehicles was placed on hold, illustrate that the line is looking to be going the way of Indiana Jones?

Why is the Mantis sub, prominent in the movie's climax, represented only as a redeco of the Valor vs Venom Sting Raider, rather than an original sculpt matching its movie design?
Likewise, why are so many movie vehicles such as Sgt. Stone's cool Spyder motorcycle, the Joes' Paris van or those very cool RHINOs from the film's opening desert scene left out of the line?

Can we expect any new figures like the various o-ring style ones sold to dollar stores, and will these ever be used to deliver fan favorite molds or classic troop builders Hasbro still owns the molds to?

1. Why is Ireland and england and europe facing a lack of joes for the POC line.
Rumors are that the line won't make it here
2. why was the alpha vehicle wave 3 put in hiatus ?
3. with the ROC line in swing is there plans to release some of the other figures from the Original series(ambush ,LowLight,Crazy legs,FastDraw,SneakPeek and lightfoot and co)
4. whats the chances on a Dreadnok 8 figure set with the addition of Zarana,Zandar,Roadpig and Thrasher.
5. is there any plans to do a similar BAF or Hidden extra Gear additions to the Joe line like what has been done with the SW line.


ok I know theres a few questions here but these are just ones I thought up on the fly.

Will there be a line of subterranean figures and vehicles other than the Mole Pod and its' variant the Lava Pod?

The Mole Pod is an awesome little vehicle that opens the doors of imagination to subterranean adventures. The Terra-Viper and Volcano-Viper are two impressive figures, especially the Volcano-Viper--a real winner. But other figures would be welcomed, such as a Toxo-Viper, or even Neo Vipers outfitted for subterranean environments (can call them Cave-Vipers), even mountaineering Vipers (afterall, the Joes have Alpine.)

By the way, as a side note, I would easily army-build the Volcano-Viper figure if it was sold without the vehicle *hint hint* ;-)

Anyway, thank you for taking time to read and answer my question, and I wish you success with the new POC line.

Hasbro, I can not wait to buy more Joes! But it's not enough to just buy figures and vehicles, they need props. Troops need chairs to sit, and Cobra needs tables to layout plans for world domination, and both sides need computer screens and other hardware.

At the San Diego Comic Convention 2009 (SDCC '09), Hasbro had done an impressive diorama display. There were a lot of props. Some looked scratch made, but others looked like they came from a toy-line of their own (specifically the diorama of the Joes in their headquarters). The Star Wars line has some excellent props, and there have been a few props with the ROC series of figures--specifically the Breaker and Covergirl laptops--and not to mention the various briefcases to carry nanomites. But it would really enhance playability, especially from a diorama standpoint, to have other kinds of props as well.

Are there plans for such things as props to be included with figures and/or vehicles? If not, to whom should we contact to help encourage for items like these? This might appear to be a small question, but for diorama enthusiasts, like those of JoeDios and other sites, even these things add tremendous value to playability.

I thank you in advance for your reply.

Dear Hasbro: In the 27 years of the line, why has there never been a Cobra Commander or Serpentor sold with a Cobra-esque throne? Given the sheer amount of people using the throne from the mid-90s Flash Gordon toyline as a Cobra throne, it seems like a money in the bank concept.

I do believe they answered this one already with a NO. Damn you Hasbro!
