Hasbro reacquires rights to Sunbow distribution
Going slightly under the radar is an article on Forbes.com stating that Hasbro has reacquired the rights to distribution of the Sunbow Productions library of animated titles. This, of course, includes all episode of G.I. Joe from 1982 through 1987 (before DiC took over).
Potentially great news for cartoon fans and those of us who have been overspending on DVD’s and waiting anxiously for Season Two, part 2.
