Q: 2. Among the design team, is there a figure that they really wanted to be done, but just haven't been able to do yet? Any pics of unused designs would be neat!
A: Two figures come to mind: The Pursuit of Cobra Sand Scorpion and an Urban Destro.

Coil Club2) For the 2010 Pursuit of Cobra line, rumors are floating around that the core characters will no longer be using the head sculpts/scans from the movie actors but rather go back to being original designs/sculpts. Can you comment on this potential change?
As we move into The Pursuit of Cobra theme we will have new non-actor head sculpts.
3) Easy question: can you give us a hint, a teaser if you will, as to what we can expect from Toy Fair? Our imaginations are running wild and out of control for the new year.
The Pursuit of Cobra line and its new packaging look will be shown at Toy Fair.

Figures.com3- What kind of figures can we expect to see in the future more ROC,POC, Classic look, or Classic Characters with a new look and how about some Characters from the Cartoons and ALL of TeComic series that have never had figures before such as Big Lob, Sparks, Clay Moore, Mayday, Mariner, Cool Breeze, Teiko, Billy, and Dr Knox Just to name a very few.
A-2010 will focus on The Pursuit of Cobra theme. We have a mix of core andnew characters - such as Dusty, Duke, Snake Eyes and Alley Viper. We liketo keep the line balanced with recognizable characters and some newfavorites for collectors. We currently have no plans for the charactersyou have listed but will note them for the future.

Joe Battle Lines4.) Can you please elaborate on the Pursuit of Cobra line not hitting until the second half of 2010? Does this mean there will only be store exclusives and nothing mass retail until then, or is the PoC line being repackaged as Rise of Cobra so it can get out earlier? We can understand wanting more time for movie line product to move off the shelves, but this seems a little too long having to wait until next Summer/Fall before we get the Jungle Viper, Zartan, Beach-Head, Ashiko, and the rest of the new characters/vehicles.
Pursuit of Cobra (POC) themed items will be released in fall 2010 and will replace Rise of Cobra. Most of the product shown at JoeCon in 2009 is being adapted to the POC theme and will launch in fall 2010 with a never before seen packaging line look. This new look will be revealed over the next few months.

Joe SightingsBill: Based on the last round of Q&A's, the Pursuit of Cobra theme won't begin until the second half of 2010. Will items such as the Desert Ambush Zartan wave, Toys R Us wave 3 (like Arctic Doc) or wave 3 Target deluxe figures, be released prior to this, or will we not see new GI Joe product in stores this Spring?
Joe Team: The exclusives will hit this spring and the new mainline Pursuit of Cobra items will hit later in the year, including the Desert Ambush Zartan.

TheFwoosh.com1) As the New Year is here, I'd like to know if there are any plans for the upcoming 30th anniversary for the GIJOE product line as much as the upcoming movie sequel tie-in in 2011?
Of course we are very excited for the 30th Anniversary of G.I. Joe - this will be a great milestone for the brand! It's too early to comment on plans.
3) Rise of Cobra Wave 4 ( Kamakura, Charbroil, white coat Doc, etc), can't be found anywhere. Has this wave been fully shipped or are we still to see larger shipments of this particular wave? Or will there be revision cases including some of the figures that are hard to find? Also will there be more store exclusives? Can you give us just one little teaser?
This wave 4 as well as wave 5 will continue to ship through spring 2010.
