I think, keeping in line with Hasbro's Retro Star Wars wave, it would be a safe bet that itbe a re-release of the OG 3.75" line,80s-mould.

Absolutely...this should be aimed at the guys who grew up with it and thus they should focus on the cartoon show and remake those. That would be cool.

Check out the list I'm talking about on the site.
EH...I am not a fan of the Valor vs Venom so if that is the case I can pass.

There most likely repros. It would be cool to see brand new characters and new versions of some of the origional characters in the classic style.

So that opens up to include all of the GI Joe VSCobra,Valor vs Venom, and Spy Troops original characters as well as many characters that had figures premier in those comic 3-packs or convention sets. Then you have a bunch of characters that were only made as toysin the modern era style like Billy,Pythona, Helix,Dr Venom, Tombstone, Female Dial Tone, Crimson Asp, etc etc. And there are other out of scale Joe characters like Sgt Savage, or Lt Stone that could certainly be done. And then of course there are the ones that have never ever received a plastic figure like Dawn Moreno, Col Sharp, Soft Master, Ronin, Mayday, Firewall, Wade Collins, Vance Wingfield, Agent Mara, Hector Ramirez, General Rey, the never made members of the Plague,etc etc. Some are more obscure than others but all are ones I would love to see.
How about a new Sgt. Slaughter!!!!!

Between Hasbro doing retro Kenner Star Wars and G1 Transformers, Playmates doing retro Turtles, and Mattel doing MOTU origins o-ring GI Joes are the last of the big 5 not to go back and get rereleases meant to look and feel like their 80s roots. That seems to be whats in vogue with the big toy companies right now (also lets not forget retro Kenner Ghostbusters). That said I suspect either way it will just be straight up reproduction of the originals. It will either be a small sample of the original 13 plus some Cobra or a sample of all stars like Duke, Snake Eyes, Flint, Scarlet, Roadblock etc. Me listing New characters is just fantasy booking what Id like to see not what I actually think Ill see.
The Big Five???? What about Thundercats!!!!!
7 hours ago, JayC said:Hate to be the Debbie downer but I really dont expect much from this line. My guess it will be re-issues of figures they already did, probably from the 25th Anniversary line. I almost guarantee thats what the HISS Tank and Awe Striker will be. If you dont have those then it will be cool, but I have to imagine most Joe fans that will be into these will have already gotten the figures previously. My hope however is perhaps Hasbro will re-release some of the figures that previously were only available exclusively through the GIJoe Collector Club. I ended up with a number of holes in my 25th Anniversary 3 3/4" collection due to the fact I wasn't willing to pay to join a club to then pay high prices for their figures.

They made every other figure I can recall from the comics or cartoon in "O-Ring" style. They did the entire Oktober Guard, Big Lob, Kwinn. They even did a Vietnam Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Crimson Twins in their Business suits. Unmasked figures, Hologram figures, General Flagg.
I believe the 25th anniversary style took it one step further, I think they've re-done the entire line and cartoon series, as well as foreign variants and new figures. (But I don't collect this line)
I'm open to "New" O-Ring figures:
1) Pythona
2) Dr. Venom
3) Kwinn (Jungle costume)
4) Dr. Biggles-Jones
5) Snake (from Transformers)
6) Cobra Commander (Snake version from Movie)
7) Evey (from the DIC series)
Rocky Balboa
Zanya from the Devils Due
Cobra Commander Movie Version with Cape and Staff
Dr. Mindbender Winter Gear
