The G.I. JOE
COLLECTORS' CLUB has received the answers from the HASBRO
team for the bi-monthly Q&A series. Check out our list of submission
questions, along with the answers as provided by the company:
GIJCC Question 1:At JoeCon 2008, many of us were told that the Toys "R" Us:
Exclusive Iron Grenadier with purple belts was based on Destro's General
Voltar and would be the Officer in the set. So why does the Iron Grenadier
Command package and filecard show him as the trooper now? Hasbro Answers: After JoeCon the
red and purple uniform figures were flipped.
GIJCC Question 2:Do you have plans to make any other Oktober Guard figures? Hasbro Answers: There are currently
no plans for any additional Oktober Guard figures at this time.
GIJCC Question 3:We really enjoyed the Cobra Extreme Condition: Arctic & Desert
figure packs. Are there any plans to release their G.I. Joe counterparts? Hasbro Answers: We are investigating
more Extreme Conditions Packs for 2009.
GIJCC Question 4:We have found many rank errors on the G.I. Joe filecards. (For example:
Flint should be listed as Warrant Officer and not E-6; Lt. Torpedo is
still listed as a Warrant Officer and should be a Navy Lt.) - can you
fix these? Hasbro Answers: Please feel free
to have the Club collect a list of any errors you find in filecards and
send them to Hasbro so we can aim to fix them in the future.
GIJCC Question 5:Will the file cards for future vehicle pack drivers/vehicles be in
the box or part of the box? This seems to go back and forth and inside
the box is much more collector friendly. Hasbro Answers: Where possible,
we are trying to put the file cards inside the boxes when doing collector
products.
Special Thanks to the Hasbro Global
Brand Marketing team for their support this year and we're looking forward
to a very exciting 2009!
