That’s right! With a huge thanks from GeneralsJoes reader Chris, who greatly assisted in setting this up, we have launched a SurveyMonkey survey based on what Hasbro showed in the Concept Case at the G.I. Joe Convention last weekend.
Please keep in mind, this is not a Hasbro sanctioned poll or an official data gathering system! This is all being done by GeneralsJoes, and is simply a way of gathering some empirical data to send off to Hasbro. According to Marketing Director Joe DelRegno, Hasbro will likely be launching their own online polling system as well, but rather than wait for that to be coded (I believe they only made the decision to do it last weekend, based on the overwhelming response from G.I. Joe fans) we figured we’d get a leg up and start this sucker early.
As we’ve seen many times in the past, toy collecting is very much a “what have you done for me lately” scenario, and with a desire to strike while the iron is hot, GeneralsJoes is doing their own survey while emotions are raw and at the surface. You can either click the banner above to check out the survey page, or click right here.
Linked on the survey page is also a very easy to follow gallery of all of the unproduced items shown with clear identification. Chris and myself worked hard to make this as simple and straight forward as possible. Please check it out, and please take a few minutes to answer. I know this isn’t official, but the data from this survey will be gathered and sent to Hasbro, so there WILL be a voice. Let it be yours!
I hope you get a chuckle from some of my choices and thanks for putting this up.
I wonder how many #1’s Kwinn is going to get! 🙂
I wish I could muster the enthusiasm to rank them. There’s just nothing there that I’m wild about.
They have Make some of the toys since they can not to the movie.
No, they don’t. There’s not enough time to get these into production. If they wanted product out at Christmastime, they’d just roll with Retaliation Wave 2 (which I still kinda-sorta expect will happen).
Someone needs to mock up a Kwinn / Obama “Hope” mashup poster. 🙂

You, sir, are a hero.
Pythona and Golobulus maybe as comic con or joe con exclusive?
Good work!
I basically want all of the Renegades stuff as well as the entire cast of the show. Also, Cobra and IDW characters.
Thanks Justin for doing this! There are easily 20 figures I’d buy in heartbeat. Can live without the Zombies & different coloured Storm Shadows but really hope we see all those POC / 30th figs (KWINN!). Including the option to submit choices was a great idea too! Based on what I heard from Hasbro at Joe Con on your podcast it sounds like they are definitely open to hearing suggestions. Looking forward to seeing the results – and the “dream figure” choices. Hasbro does it for Star Wars, why not Joe?
Love to see Hasbro go all out and make a fan choice series ala Star Wars. Would love a crazy mix of characters like PYTHONA, KRAKE, SCALPEL, WHITE CLOWN, HEADHUNTERS, PATHFINDER…could do this all day 🙂
I would like the Arashikage Skeleton. 🙂 Also the Jason Voorhees guy.
