So I'm guessing they won't be revealed till Toy Fair. I hope the style will be like POC.

Yeah, that's most likely the case. It would be awesome if they did them in the POC style.

This is just an idea. It would probably never happen, but it would be great if they included a swappable POC version head that doesn't resemble the likeness of the actors. It would satisfy those who want their Joes to look like their on screen counterparts and those who want an updated POC look to their figures. 2 figures in one kind of thing. I would much rather have this then any of those over-sized spring loaded accessories.

I wonder if Hasbro still takes suggestions.

Hasbro said in a Q'n'A that they won't be licensing actors likeness's. So that won't matter much.

I thought I read they had some trouble with actresses from the first film not liking thier action figure. That's why Scarlett isin't in the film. Not fact, just a rumor I read.

I hope canadian retailers stock them.

I did not know that. Which Q and A site has that? Got a link?

I was looking forward to getting a Dwayne Johnson action figure to be honest. Geez, that sort of sounds lame now that I type it.


Move along, nothing to see here.

They should have at least gotten the license for the Rock. They could possibly sell a lot of those Roadblock figures.

No, that isn't lame. I want one too! I refer to him by his wrestling name instead. Lol!

I was also hoping for a GI Joe Rock figure as well so he can lay the smackdown on all my Alley Vipers, Rock bottom Firefly, People's elbow Zartan, and put "boots to assess" on the rest of Cobra. LOL!

Kinda sucks that Hasbro isn't licensing actors likeness's though. If Sgt. Slaughter makes a cameo, I was hoping Hasbro would make a figure of him too. Having the Rock and Sgt. Slaughter both in POC style now that would be awesome!

I honestly didn't care enough to bother running it down.

Haha I was also looking forward to having a figure of the Rock as roadblock.. and gotta admit i was looking forward to having a Bruce Willis Action figure.

I have to wonder if there is an issue with Dwayne Johnson's action figure likeness being owned by the WWE and Mattel having the rights to it. Its possible that it would have cost too much for Hasbro to get the rights. Just a thought.
