Good follow - through, Martin!
I am confused by that answer, to be honest. I thought Hasbro supplied the parts for 2009 and blessed it (after all, Backstop was produced so there would be copyright issues if Hasbro did not sign off). I thought that was a given.
I also believed yo joe was going to "grandfather" previous figures (e.g. Black Ice, Snowbank, etc) even though they were not specifically endorsed by Hasbro, based on (1) the subsequent approval in 2009 and (2) the high quality nature of the product. That was from the declassified article, which I do not have in front of me.....though I have the link saved somewhere.
So, it seems that yojoe's answer changed althought the facts (e.g. 2009 was an official set) did not. Moreover, does not yojoe include the 2009 comic online already???
Maybe I'm missing something, but it is just not clear to me......
