Just spoke with DePriest

No release dates yet for 50th
Will be TRU exclusive
Focusing on Joe / Cobra saga

Goal is to have all offerings at Joe Con for fans with release dates.

No 12" figures outside Club offerings. Focused on 3 3/4" because it's the bigger fan base

Some interesting stuff coming, even if some of it ends up as fodder. The leatherneck, flint, jaye, destro, all nice surprises.

I don't want to sound negative either, but I'll believe it when I have it in my hands.
Especially if it's a tru exclusive, my local tru is a cesspool of four year old garbage and hasn't seen a restock in over a year of anything worthwhile.

When are they gonna throw that puny Thor buck in the toilet and make a Thor that's not punier than Colossus and Mr Sinister? Quit putting so much effort into one-use figs like that [LASER BLAST]' Deathlok and make good eterna-use bucks already!

I'm in for the snow vehicles and most likely the Stinger too.

Glad we'll be able to get the night landing set after all.
While I understand that the fan base might be smaller, to ignore the original Joe in the 50th anniversary is a bad move.
The should have at least made a 3 3/4 Joe.

Glad to see a Kre-O Storm Shadow in his Joe colors.

2.5" figures and vehicles for GotG? Is Hasbro going Sigma 6 on the franchise or do they want to test the market for smaller articulated figures and vehicles?
Maybe they see Mega Bloks' huge success and they want their share of that cake?

I hate the Skyhawk. I wish that when they picked a new small vehicle to retool and force feed us over and over, it had been the Devilfish. I could live with lots of those.

OH, there goes the toy budget, but I think it'll be worth it. I am LOVING what I see in G.I. Joe. I don't know where to start. That Arctic BAT is AWESOME! I love the arctic camouflage on the VAMP, I like the Sky Hawk, I like the gray and red Viper, and even the red-trimmed Night-Viper (although I do prefer green on him -- maybe 'll make him a Night-Viper Officer or something). The Lady Jaye and Baroness figures look excellent, and a HEAT-Viper!? There's someone I didn't expect to see in the modern line!

In other lines the 6" Star Wars Black Series stuff sure looks to be doing well. About time Vader and Chewbacca got in on it. Where the heck is C-3PO, though!? Jabba the Hutt!? That thing'll be huge. I may take a pass on the big slug, but I DEFINITELY will want the Speeder Bike with Biker Scout.

Glad to hear that they have some Transformers planned for the 30th Anniversary Generations line (that is what that was, right?) because all I could find on my own was toys related to the new movie, and they're these new "1-Step" Transformers with not a lot of articulation in their robot forms. Great for the kids, but no significant interest here.

And that Kre-O Serpentor is downright cute.

Some GREAT news and some great pics, sgcaper and everyone. Thanks for all of it!

I think someone from Hasbro was spying on me. Ive made custom Kreons of about 12 of the newly announced single packs over the past few months.

Oh, the Arctic BAT......now that is a great figure. I hope they make a ton of this line. I can't imagine having to hunt this stuff or go to ebay for it.
