Questions for Hasbro are due Monday. So get your questions in by Monday before 11:30am EST and I'll pick the best ones.

Will the G.I.Joe Subscription Collector Club ever offer new, original, unique characters?

I think thats more of a Club question than a Hasbro one...(although they do final green light all figures from the club)


1) Despite being ALERTED AT JOECON, there still appears to be distribution problems at retail with the availability of G.I.Joe Products (I recently visited a Toys R Us in Massachusetts that didnt carry Joe products at all.) , and with the frustration of Hasbro Toy shop constantly being sold out of the newest figures. Is there something being done to prevent this with the next waves of 30th figures, and the Upcoming movie merchandise?

2) one of the issues some collectors had about the Rise of Cobra figures was the movie likeness head sculpts were.. well.. WAY too big. They had a balloon head syndrome that made the figures look kinda weird and detracted from our vision of what the Joe figures should look like.

has this problem been addressed in the newer movie figures sculpts?

Dear Hasbro,

Alpine.

ALPINE!

A-L-P-I-N-E!!!

Thank you.

So how cool is the Rock's movie action figure going to be?

Since HTS has now stopped selling single carded figures, could we get army builder cases and/or half case assortments?

Now that collectors can complete their collections with the upcoming Dreadnoks 7 pack, could we please get a 7 pack of the Oktober Guard?

Possible rephrase:

Is it possible that Hasbro ever approve new, original, unique characters for the G.I.Joe subscription Collector Club?

Maybe something along these lines:

We've seen BBTS get an exclusive set, and we've seen the GIJCC get exclusive figures, so what would be involved for a group to contract a run of a figure from Hasbro?
Is there a part library restriction on exclusives?

uh...



Anyway, when can we expect Renegades to be released on DVD?

well they have in the past. (The dreadnok septuplets, Lt. Clay Moore, etc)

I would ask:

Is the Collector's club free to create new Characters within the Joe Mythos, or must they stay within the parameters of Hasbro?

Can you explain the paint process, like what is the difference between a paint mask and a tampo? How are the eyes painted?

What has been the toughest aspect of working on the GI Joe 2 movie line? Have you guys been working on your Rock imitations?

From what we've seen at NYCC it appears that the Marvel Universe Professor X figure uses the SDCC exclusive suited Destro body. If this tooling is available to another brand what is preventing it from being used in the Joe line, for example for a suited Tomax and Xamot?

I asked this at NYCC.. and was told....

"wait"

apparently we are going to see this again in the MU and Joe lines....

I don't understand. They complain about the cost of tooling and other related costs, yet they use parts from one line for another.

Use the parts that work and use them across brands. You get more bang for the buck and can use the savings elsewhere.

It's like a no brainer...and it gives the collector/customizer more options.
