Message Board News / Hasbro Q&A - Fall 2011 - ANSWERS!
« on: November 24, 2011, 09:36:00 AM »
Joecanuck Asked:

Q1) Will the G.I. Joe Retaliation figure line see any big vehicles like the Pit for ROC, or will the focus be on the smaller Alpha wave vehicles?

Hasbro Answered:
1A:  Our goal going in to the development of the movie line was to keep prices low even in the face of rising production costs.  We have some really great vehicles at a great value in the line. We will reveal the line at New York Toy Fair in February and hope you like it as much as we do!


Joecanuck Asked:

Q2) It's been a while since Hasbro ran a fan poll for what we want to see made next. Is there any plans to run another survey "fans choice", and if so is it possible to do a vehicle this time around?

Hasbro Answered:
2A:  As we mentioned in the previous Q&A, we love the idea and love hearing from our fans! There is currently no plan for a fans choice but is definitely something we will consider in the future.


Joecanuck Asked:

Q3) The 30th Anniversary SkyStriker is obviously a new mold but replicates the original almost perfectly. Can you give us some insight into how you reverse-engineered the original so successfully?

Hasbro Answered:
3A: The Skystriker project presented us with some unique challenges.  To start, we did not have much time to execute the project.  So we had to act fast!  We found some samples of vintage Skystrikers and was able to build two or three nice ones out of the parts.  Next, we worked with an expert model maker and tool-maker in the far-east to pain-stakingly recreate each of the parts digitally in a 3d Program.  This allowed us to refine the detail and build in the new snaps and construction details we knew had to be there to pass the new, tougher safety standards we have today.  The removable wings and nose also allowed us to fit the aircraft into a smaller box, letting us keep the toy at a great price for the consumer.   At the same time, the model make re-fitted the cockpit to introduce the new design.  When the process was finished, we were blown away by the results - and were able to meet and exceed our deadlines to make the project a reality.  Effectively, making the dreams of our loyal fans a reality in the process.

Ask your questions!

Just got word from Hasbro Canada that due to the fan outpouring and feedback on these units, Zellers has stepped up to the plate and ordered them!

That's right - The HISS Scout and Cycle Armour have left Hasbro's warehouses and are en route to a Zellers near you! Look for them to arrive within the next little while.

So, we said our piece, and Hasbro and Zellers listened. Now it's up to us to show them that it was a good decision by getting out there and buying this stock up!

Joecanuck Asked:


Q1)What is the hole on Shadow Tracker's spear intended for?


Hasbro Answered:

Quote
A1) The spear has a hole on the side so it can be customized using the other weapons included with Shadow Tracker - the Long Knife and the 3-headed-mace.  This hole can also accept other weapons and accessories with the "small post/hole system" - they are sprinkled throughout the line.



Joecanuck Asked:


Q2)Why were the plugs/ports on the weapons for the recent POC vehicles  ( VAMP, HISS etc) designed larger than previous vehicles like the RHINO and Night Ops Humvee ( the difference is just a millimeter or two)?


Hasbro Answered:


Quote
A2) There are two systems of posts/holes for weapons/vehicle customizing: the 3mm hole and the "large Hex Hole"  The 3mm hole fits most backpacks and a great many weapon posts and accessories (POC Duke Urban Assault is a good example of this Peg system).  The Large Hex Hole is a system we started a while back on the Rhino and have employed in a great many vehicles since (POC VAMP, HISS, ICE CUTTER, HISS SCOUT).  The old Rhino and Night OPs Humvee were actually before this peg/hole system got universalized, and the weapons could not be "tweaked" at the factory to fit.
