Some great news from the Hasbro Joe team. Apparently there will be a Yo Joe June event to discuss the brand, especially Classified. They are holding back on specifics until the June event.
Highlights:
- They know about the fandom and the exclusives. They mentioned reruns and reissues coming, especially the "dreaded Target exclusives"
- More retro figures coming (wave 4?). No mention of vehicles, but not a denial.
- Working out details still about possible vehicles for Classified beyond motorcycles. Who knows what that means.
- Design team said O-Ring is NOT dead!!! However they seemed to qualify that statement with the mention of hearing fans/fandom and pushing because of that. So to me that seems like they want to do it, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
- The team definitely wants to do a Haslab (YAY!!!) Of course no confirmation about whether or not they will be doing one.
- The line (Classified) is still evolving so things like BAF could be possible down the line.
