G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary “Collectible” 3.75-Inch Scale Action Figures
As often happens at the New York Toy Fair, Hasbro released a bunch of info on their 2014 plans. Unfortunately, I had a meeting yesterday afternoon and had to miss out on the fan media event . . . but Hasbro did send over their PR kit and I stole a few moments this morning to skim through the info. I’ll be days going over this stuff, so for now I recommend you try other sites — such as It’s All True and Poe Ghostal — for better coverage of the convention.
I do want to direct your attention to the “50th anniversary-branded” G.I. Joe 3.75-inch scale action figure series that Hasbro’s offering at ToysRUs this fall. With names like “Danger at the Docks” and “Battle Below Zero” it looks like they are tapping into that old “Adventure Team” feel, but until I see some packaging pics I can’t say just how “50th anniversary-branded” these will be. Fingers crossed here hoping for some awesome artwork on the packaging!
Additionally, a collectible 50th anniversary-branded, 3.75-inch scale action figure and vehicle line will debut at Toys“Râ€Us this fall. The special edition line will be offered in unique 50th anniversary branded packaging and reintroduce classic G.I. JOE vs. COBRA characters and iconic vehicles, including some that have not been available since the 1980s. Fans will be able to purchase classic characters like DESTRO, SNAKE EYES and HAWK, as well as vehicles like the G.I. JOE VAMP MKII and COBRA WOLF VEHICLE with an updated sculpting style and unique deco.
Click through for more of the official Hasbro pics. They sent over a total of nine G.I. Joe images, so while Hasbro isn’t making the biggest push for the 50th anniversary of the line, I can admit that they’re doing far more than I was expecting. Good!
