Specifically about GI Joe.

Quote:
In 2012, Hasbro will also celebrate the movie release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, to be distributed by Paramount Pictures on June 29th, with an extensive line of action figures and roleplay items. The movie and product line, based on Hasbro’s G.I. JOE brand, will feature classic characters from the G.I. JOE vs. COBRA saga including legendary ninjas SNAKE EYES and STORM SHADOW. Continuing the blockbuster year, Hasbro will introduce new licensed toy lines in support of major motion pictures from Marvel including THE AVENGERS and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN as well as new STAR WARS products supporting the theatrical release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace in immersive 3D...

G.I. JOE Brand

The G.I. JOE brand will redefine action this year as a new blockbuster movie roars into theaters and innovative toys continue the legacy of the ‘original action figure.’ The new film, G.I. JOE: RETALIATION, to be distributed by Paramount Pictures on June 29th, 2012, will feature popular characters from Hasbro’s G.I. JOE vs. COBRA saga including two of pop-culture’s most well known ninjas, SNAKE-EYES and STORM SHADOW. The G.I. JOE brand will offer an extensive line of action figures, role-play items and more based on these ninjas, a dynamic new battling style known as “BATTLE-KATA” as seen in the upcoming movie and additional characters including ROADBLOCK, DUKE and COBRA COMMANDER. Highlights include the next phase in G.I. JOE action figure evolution with the 10-inch scale G.I. JOE NINJA COMMANDO SNAKE EYES and ROADBLOCK figures featuring quick-draw action with the press of a button.

Yet another scale? Is oil prices really causing them to shrink the 12 inch format to 10? And the vehicle drives have limited articulation?......I know what my Q&A questions will consist of when it rolls round again!

by removing points of articulation.

Do I detect the sewer-like whiff of 'action-features'? :angrymob:

Nah they're doing the rocket launchers this go around. I guess the memos of "industry insider" says spring action is the "hot trend". Apparently 5 point articulation has been a "hot trend" for a few years now too with vehicle drivers... or with all figures where Mattel is concerned.

Isn't the 10 inch line the new version of this line, the action battlers? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001XQ0LY ... xgy_p_dp_y

Nothing's more idiotic than that.

That press release, as mentioned earlier, is some brutal reading. Personally, I hope Bonka Zonks become the most popular toy of all time, because it would thrill me to no end to arrive at a Target at 7:55 AM on a Thursday and find a group of pasty, doughy dudes grumbling about the horrible Bonka Zonk distribution in the L.A. area.

Meh, if they don't put out toys I want that's a win for my wallet. I'm not really worried.
