Apparently, he's suing Hasbro for lack of promised royalties that the Hassenfelds promised him back in 1963. He would like the property returned to him. I'd like to think that if he gets it, we'll see 12" GI Joes again, maybe a proper celebration for GI Joe's 60th Anniversary. |

According to this September article http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-es ... rab-823985 if he wins, Hasbro's rights would end in 2020. If it happens, either they give him a load of money to keep the brand alive or it'll just die, because I don't see a 87 year old man wanting to start a toy company just because he got his concept back. Following the last few years, I doubt any other company would want to buy the brand either, we're far from the glory days of the brand. |

I bet Lanard would love to buy it for cheap from his estate after he passes, lol. |

And Lanard would produce the crap out of it. |

The return of the T-crotch joes! Actually, Hasbro has already brought back 5POA SW, so it would not be out of line. |

Has this guy been able to prove he pitched it to Levine before they came up with the concept on their own? |
