Just in from Hasbro Public Relations… the G.I. Joe Q & A Sessions will be resuming effective immediately!
The next round of questions will be due next Monday by noon, so start getting those brain cells firing. In the past GeneralsJoes and JoeSightings have worked together to get a single 5-pack of questions answered, but starting in 2009, GeneralsJoes and JoeSightings will be able to submit separate entries to maximize the Joe fan’s “bang for your buck”. Of course, this year it looks like the pool of questions has been reduced to “3” per outlet, but I think we still have the best opportunity to get our questions answered by splitting the coverage.
Please use the Comments in this thread to submit your questions, and I’ll pick and choose and we’ll try to uncover whatever info nuggets we can find.
Huge thanks to Hasbro for commiting to this very fan-friendly project for 2009!
EDIT – Just in case anyone didn’t notice above, the question limit for 2009 has been reduced to THREE per outlet. Just something to keep in mind.
Questions:
1. When will we see new info regarding GiJoe 25th/resolute figures? It’s been a bit quiet.
2. Will you (Hasbro) improve your quality of the lables/stickers as a lot of them lets loose.
3. Will Habro release a complete DVD box set of both GiJoe series of the 80’s (Sunbow and DIC), maybe together with a partner like Metrodome for Europe?
4. Will there be more movie related figures/vehicles be released after the movie. Like what was done with Transformers movie toys with a lot redeco’s?
5. What will be release date of both 7 packs?
1. Any chances that we will get an improved Falcon with corrected short sleeved arms?
2. Any possibility of the MASS device elements being re released with other figures, for those of us who refused to buy a 6th version of Cobra Commander or a 2nd Tripwire?
3. The resolute figures that have been released are amazing. How many more can we expect in the future?
4. The 2 7-packs shown at Toy Fair are awesome. Can we please get Chuckles in his classic blue hawaiin shirt instead of the color shown?
1. Thank You Hasbro, for those 7 packs, fantastic and brilliant. I concur that Chuckles should have his classic shirt colors. (not really a question… LOL)
2. RESOLUTE. Can we please get the other Resolute figures out, too? If you need to put them out in another 7 pack do it. The current RESOLUTE singles are amazing along with the with the figures from the Resolute 5 pack. What are your plans for the upcomming Resolute Figures? How and when?
1- With the Ice Dagger being a reused mold from several years ago, what are the chances of the movie line seeing rereleases of other relatively recent vehicles, like the RHINO, the ROCC, or the Thunderwing?
2- Has the post-movie direction of GI Joe been decided yet?
3- Will Movie Hawk be released outside of the Pit vehicle/playset? He was one of the best looking of the figures we got early looks at, and it would be something of a disappointment if he is exclusive to a $100 set.
4- Why were the firing missile launchers for the movie line designed to be so big? I understand there are safety regulations involved in these matters, but there have been missile launchers in other recent Hasbro toylines that were significantly smaller in size.
1. Will the Combat Heroes wave 3 be released, or are they permanently cancelled?
2. Can we expect a G.I. Joe videogame not set in the moviverse?
3. Are there any plans to include Sigma 6 characters into the anniversary toyline?
Ditto for the MASS elements. To get a complete device, you need to but not 1, not 2, but 3 Cobra Commanders!
