The G.I. JOE team at Hasbro is back with another round of Q&A. If you recall, of the questions submitted, they’ll respond to a number of them of their choosing for the initial round of answers. Then in a couple of days, they’ll send out all the answers to all the questions for the current round. This time we got two out of three answered.
1) Have you ever considered releasing the figures you pack in vehicles like the Motor Viper / Nitro Viper or the upcoming Desert Scorpion in army builder friendly packs? More people would like to build squads but not have to buy 6 vehicles, for example.
Great suggestion. This is not currently in our plan but we will consider this type of pack in the future.
2) The new packaging for Pursuit of Cobra looks great, but why no environment theme labels? Some we can guess, but the new heavy armored Destro, Duke, and Storm Shadow weren’t labeled with themes.
All Pursuit of Cobra packs will have the relevant environment pictured on the back of the package using the diorama sets we showed at this year’s JoeCon. Packaging copy will also reflect the environment the character is from.
3) Why does Resolute Destro have a robotic arm? Is there a back story we’re missing?
[Answer pending]
Hmm, the fact that Hasbro hasn’t thought to pack vehicle drivers into an army builder set is strangely odd. Especially with how on the ball they seem about other things. Regardless, I’d be all over a set like this if it was ever produced!
