Hasbro's Q & A: Answers for January 2010

HasbroThe latest round of answers from Hasbro's marketing are in. What did we ask this time around? Click on the article to find out.




Q1. ArashikageClan.com asked: The first Rise of Cobra Snake Eyes figure came with a sword but no scabbard, but the bandolier he wore had a curious flap on the back that looked ALMOST like it was intended to hold something, possibly the sword, in place. The problem was that it had no "bottom" to it, poviding instead an unneccesary "top" and a "side", which would allow  something to slide in, and then just have gravity pull it right out. Was this flap designed for something else, or just a cool concept with an engineering flaw?


Hasbro answered: Unfortunately this was a cool concept with an engineering flaw.




Q2. AashikageClan.com asked: In the "Final Battle" scene in the Rise of Cobra movie, Snake Eyes defeats Storm Shadow while using his tonfas, as he did in the flash back to his childhood. Although his Combat Heroes line "Young Snake Eyes" figure is shown with tonfas in hand, none of his 3 and 3/4" line figures offer a set of these weapons. When will this be corrected to we can properly pay 3 and 3/4" homage to this important scene in the movie?

Hasbro answered: We have no plans for this at present, sorry.




Q3. ArashikageClan.com asked: There has been much talk about the upcoming 26 episode animated G.I. Joe Cartoon. Although we realize it is pobably to early to divulge much information on this, can we at least know which storyline it will be based on? (i.e. the original marvel universe, rise of cobra, etc.)



Hasbro answered: Stay tuned!
