Will the Pursuit of Cobra line have generic packaging in Canada or the individual character art as they do in the US?

Something I have always wondered about.
Is the picture used for the 1987 Sneak Peek file card Stephen King's son?

With the shift away from movie likenesses, how will characters who were more drastically changed for the film be handled? Will Heavy Duty remain haired, British and not-a-Roadblock-clone-anymore? Will Breaker remain Moroccan? Will Ripcord remain African-American?

1)  Mr. Goldner said they found they were asking too much for Joes and I believe I read they will be dropping by $2 in the US.  What about Canada (I won't even ask about the dollar being on par!)?

2)  In regard to the new GIJoe cartoon announced, will the Hub! be available in Canada?  If not, will it be playing on a Canadian specialty channel?

Ditto on the Hub! will it be accessible in Canada?

Will Pursuit of Cobra be available in Canada?

Why not 2 heads instead of a variant figure on the upcoming 2011 Snake Eyes?

What will be the ration of said variant?

How are you?

These are my five questions.

What type of case assortment are you going to have with the POC line?  i.e. 12 figure or 14 figure
How is the assortment going to be broken down and is there going to be variant case assortments?

-Thank you very much for the upcoming Low-Light.  Can we expect to see more figures based on original caracters in the POC line or all futur caracters will be in a new style?

Man, you guys must be telepaths!  All of the questions I were going to ask have been already posted.  I'll have to come up with some more.

why did you make a second version of Dusty instead of making a new desert trooper? it never made sense to me that the Joes have a half-dozen Arctic guys and only one desert trooper...

and why did you make Flint an Eco-Warrior, and not Airtight when Airtight's the NBC trooper?

Does the Design Team use influences from other media in the design of new Joes? I say this because one of the upcoming Dukes looks a lot like Solid Snake, and Shadow Tracker and the new Spirit look like they came from Predator...

If copyright, market research, and available molds weren't an issue, what characters from the GI Joe mythos would the design team love to bring back and how would they redesign them?
