Hasbro held their G.I. Joe panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday. Unfortunately, for those of you hoping for some new toy news, there was none to be had. Instead, Hasbro used the opportunity to showcase the new G.I. Joe Renegades animated feature that will appear on its upcoming HUB network.
Here’s a video of the teaser trailer shot by TFW2005.

The Fine Print
In Toyfare magazine two months ago, we got some looks at the Hasbro Marvel Universe exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con. With a week to go before the big show, Hasbro’s sent us some big pics of all of their exclusives. For those of you not going to be there, all of the items, with the exception of the Star Wars exclusive, are said to be available on HasbroToyShop.com after the convention.
Enjoy!

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.
Hasbro is conducting the G.I. Joe Q&As a little differently now, and we’re still trying to figure it out. We get to submit three questions, and then they send us answers to one or more of them (we got two answered and Fwoosh got one). After a few days, they send us the questions and answers from all the sites.
We expected to get the answer to our unanswered questions (we asked about Matt Trakker), but that wasn’t included in the full list, so maybe the round-up only includes the answered questions. Confused? We are too. In any case, here’s the AFP questions again, followed by the questions and answers from the other sites.
1) We’re psyched to get two new Sgt. Slaughters at San Diego Comic-Con, but you’ve whetted our appetites for more classicly-styled figures. Will the Pursuit of Cobra figures incorporate any classic-styled designs, or will figures be styled only according to the four different environment themes?
Thanks, we’re glad the fan response has been so positive for the Sgt. Slaughter exclusives! The Pursuit of Cobra will focus on the four environment themes but we will try and sneak in some classic elements. We can reveal more at JoeCon!
