'm sorry but a follow up won't matter. This has been ongoing for supposedly 10 years (I only know of about 5) and it hasn't changed. I would rather not waste one of only 5 questions on a follow up question. We all get it, they aren't going to do anything about it, otherwise they would have already. Especially now that Christmas has come and gone.
I was asking Hasbro Canada reps ( iirc one was named Michelle Crispo) and Hasbro USA about this as far back at 1997--specifically regarding Action Man sets that were available on the website as it stood then.
The answer from Hasbro at that time was the same as it is now: "we'll look into it" or "it'll happen in 6 months" or " its coming next year". The question has apparently been asked at the annual GIJOE conventions, been put to brand managers like Derryl DePriest--all of whom I'm sure have tried their best to give a straight honest answer.
Its always been the same, and NOTHING as ever happened about it.
