Is it true that Hasbro is including parts that pay homage to Predator and if pieced together will be a strong resemblance to one?

To add to the question.... if you do not mind... If so what is the offical recipe for the Predator?

Why does POC Beach Head only come with one knife but have sheaths for two?Yes!
Also what's your fascination with having Storm Shadow running around half naked since RoC?

Since the Prince of Persia Storm Shadow is becoming an unpopular peg warmer figure will you go back to a more traditional ninja Storm Shadow in the future? Not including the Ninja Gaiden style figure coming out in 2011.
That SS is one of my favorites.. Am I the only one??

Nope, you are not alone--I like it too. I originally passed on the figure, but then saw a good review of it and then went back and bought it. Really great figure with loads of gear options--something that is a big plus with me.Quote from: "Realboss"Since the Prince of Persia Storm Shadow is becoming an unpopular peg warmer figure will you go back to a more traditional ninja Storm Shadow in the future?

Question for Hasbro:
Are some of the toys in POC ( namely some vehicles) designs that were brought forward from the aborted/abandoned Robot Rebellion sub-line?

What will happen to the unreleased (as of yet) Arctic Threat Duke (w/ Channing Tatum head) and Desert Ripcord (w/ Marlon Wayans head) figures? Will these figures still be released with new head sculpts or are they cancelled?

Is zbrush responsible for some of the insanely detailed sculpts we are seeing with POC or was its used for ROC as well?
what are the posatives and negatives of using 3d software over traditional sculpting?

He hasn't been on much today from what I could tell.
He gets the emails.

Hasbro had changed the schedule for this particular Q&A, and didn't send their normal reminder email out when the new time came - and so, I missed it.
If you look at GeneralsJoes site where they keep track of the Q&As, you'll see that a LOT of sites that usually participate didn't get in this time:
http://generalsjoes.com/qanda.html (http://generalsjoes.com/qanda.html)
I aplogize, but with the change in their schedule and the lack of a reminder, I missed this one. Sorry folks. Will aim to keep on top of this!

Maybe next time we could ask them why TRU doesn't sell the latest GIJoe toys anymore.That's easy. Three letters - ROC. Granted, they were over ordered and overproduced, but you can bet TRU is a little gun shy - partly the reason figs are retailing for $8 Cdn these days.

I noticed at tru yesterday, that they have increased the price on joes to 7.99 (were 6.99). Even the remaining roc scanned at 7.99.
