No! One MASK figure is enough. If the guys at Hasbro are even remotely thinking of doing this, I kindly ask them to revisit a separate line of MASK figures SEPARATE from Joe.
You know why they can't do this right? They can't get the rights to MASK as a term, only "Mobile Armored Strike Kommand", so thats why its referenced as such. As of now, they only way to get ANY Mask toys is through G.I. Joe, because a TRUE Mask toyline would have to be called something else, and NOT reference the original name MASK.
I completely understand the copyright issue argument. However, the 2 lines have no business being crossed like this.
The 25th line releases will (most likely) not be going on for another 20 years by Hasbro. Eventually, the well of support will run dry and they will halt the line.
I see too many characters who never had figures made like Billy, Pythona, Big Lob, Cool Breeze, etc.
The more that Hasbro incorporates other lines into Joe, the less likely any of these other figures will ever see the light of day.
I hate to even think this but is the Joe line going to be the end all-catch all for Hasbro.
Can already see it now - oh wait, we lost the XEVOZ license, lets release them as Joes instead! LOL. J\K. Sorry, don't want to tick off any of the Xevoz fans out there.
