1.Will the 25th line and the movie line be released in Australia?

We are just as excited about the live action G.I. Joe movie as we were about the globally popular "Transformers," however it is too early to give specific distribution details for the movie line.


2. Will multi-pack figures such as Torch, Ripper & the Tele-Viper be released on single cards with the original card art? (Similar to Wave 4 2007).

This was not in our original plans, but upon hearing the fan upswell for this we are now reconsidering.


3. Certain molds with articulation flaws like Duke (elbow joint, wrist swivel) and Cobra Trooper (crotch) have been released several times over without the fixes several other similarly afflicted molds received. 1.) Why have these popular molds not yet received fixes and 2.) Will they ever receive them?

Because some molds have been in continuous use, we have not been able to make changes. We are attempting to incorporate fan feedback and continually upgrade all products.

4. Will we see a consistent scale used for all the figures to ensure uniformity of parts? (IE: Breaker's, Spirit's and Serpentor's Heads being larger than other figures and therefore requiring "one use" tooling for accessories)

This is one of the areas of fan feedback that we have heard and are working on improving in the future.

5. Recently Toys "R" Us has started receiving what appear to be newly produced shipments of the older 8" toys. Is this an indication that we may start seeing more older stuff trickle out, and if so, dare we hope that new items might be on the horizon for the 8" scale?

This is a trickle of old product, there are no new plans for the 8'' scale.

So that sucktastic Duke mold hasn't been fixed because they keep using it to make more sucktastic Duke mold figs. . . . . .


But cool news on the possibility of seeing comic pack figs on single cards!

I know this isn't a popular idea with everyone, but it sure would make me happy!!

Torch and Ripper were never on single-packs anyway, were they? (Wasn't it only a 3-pack back in the day?)

The only ones I'd like to see released on single-cards are troop builders that haven't been available in singles (like the Tele-Vipers).

You kidding me? If they did that, There would be a severe drought of Tele Vipers in Indianapolis due to some freaking hoarder in Speedway.

As I said earlier, I know not everyone wants figures they already have. But if Hasbro reduces the production numbers on the suggested filler wave I honestly think they would sell through quite well.

Eh? Not by a long shot. Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer were all released individually in 1985. They were never packed together in a 3-pack.

Huh, guess my memories of those bygone days must be getting muddled.

And now if they would only sell the Flight Pods separately, right Jay??

I would be all for single carded Tele-Vipers. This begs the question: Will the Tele-Vipers in the vehicle packs be coming with gear? They aren't of much use without commo gear.

double that

That was my one of the questions I offered up for this round (though I asked about all the figures in the vehicle packs), didn't get selected though. Maybe next time. I don't think it's been answered anywhere else yet?

Though let's not forget, instead of just single-packing a straight Tele-Viper, they might be more likely to do a Python Tele-Viper.

I'm actually not too disappointed in this round's answers.....
