DSTZach Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Not sure, to be honest. Sorry. Thought they'd be ready for December, but I don't know where they are at this point. Quote
THE_CRIPPLER Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 Any chance a character like Zartan would come with his swamp Skier? It would be small, not as small as the goblin glider but still pretty small. Quote
Carlos_ Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 Hey Luke ! is there any special plans for the 40th anniversary of the brand ? Just watched the streaming from Hasbro and its a lot going on with Gi Joe Quote
nandoninny Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 the streaming mentioned how hasbro is going away from plastic in its packaging...... i wonder if licenses will be affected by this. i can't imagine just getting a cardboard box full of stuff. but yeah, some really cool stuff coming up!

I want to be able to see what I am buying. I see way too many posts of Classified figures that have been returned to stores and the figure has been swapped out with some random figure, many times not even a G.I. Joe Classified figure. Quote

DSTZach Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 I don't think we will be eliminating plastic any time soon, although we are phasing out our larger Select action figure packaging for most lines. And GI Joe MM Series 1 has plastic blisters, but will be in a larger cardboard box, and I'm not sure how much plastic that will have, if any. Lots of Joe plans for this year, including MM Series 1 and 2, some new Gallery Dioramas, and I believe a new L3D bust and a statue. Plus the SDCC exclusive, which is different from the original concept, but should be pretty darn cool. Quote

Does it mean that the SDCC set could be based of the cartoon or am I way off in what you are saying? Possibly you are just talking about the packaging for the SDCC set? Quote
DSTZach Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Not sure about the packaging, but the GI Joe Minimates exclusive is based on the comic and toy line. There will also be a TF MM exclusive and a MMPR MM exclusive Quote
Nervous Rex Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 hmmm,"comic and Toy line" (specifically not cartoon). I wonder if its gonna be based on something like Tiger Force/Python Patrol or one of the Special Missions comics or maybe a crossover with the properties ... I'm all in for anything, just can't wait for the reveals! Will future sets be revealed at SDCC? Quote

DSTZach Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 Wrote the SDCC bios today! Well, copied them from vintage filecards. Still! Designs look great. Lots of weapons. Quote

THE_CRIPPLER Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I can't wait for the SDCC reveal, plus the reveal of waves 3 and 4. I hope we get some kind of trooper in one of those sets though. Can you tell us Zach if the SDCC set will be all new characters and how many are in that set? Quote
elhonez Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I'll be at SDCC this year, looking forward to seeing these in person! Quote

SDCC set will be existing characters in new outfits. Slight change from original concept, but we'll see what happens to that concept, maybe it will be a future release. Not sure about troopers at this time, I haven't seen the full line-up for 3 and 4. I only know two of the Cobras in Series 4 and I'm excited. 43 minutes ago, elhonez said: I'll be at SDCC this year, looking forward to seeing these in person! Come by and say hi! Quote

We already have two Snake Eyes, Storm Shadows, Cobra Commanders, and Scarlett. I'm cool with it if it is Commando Snake Eyes, Arctic Storm Shadow, etc. Quote
