That is awesome, any new ones sounds cool, but it kinda sucks that it is impeding the "regular" line's production, you know? I wish they just did both lines... "comic" accurate, and then some movie 4 packs (like Ironman. I think that was a swell idea)

Odds are the line just got rebranded. A movie will sell a hell of a lot more figures than the 25th anniversary line.

I think a movie would help sell some, but there is a crazy fan base for G.I. Joe and I don't think a rebranding would truely benefit the line- especially if the movie flops and unfortunately I don't have a good feeling about it (Hope I'm wrong). What other toy line has it's own convention- Cobra-Con each year, maybe Barbie, Hot Wheels and  ? There's just something about the brand that can stand alone with the help of the movie, IMO |

I think the GI Joe movie will do just fine. I question whether it will do Transformers levels of business, but I have no doubt it will be quite profitable.
They're making a movie that appeals to the masses, with some bonus stuff for the fandom, just like they did with Transformers.

I'm only snagging the cartoon-based Combat Heroes. I can't do anything else. ^_^;

Unless the characters have costume changes in the movie, I don't see the point of a movie line other than the obvious grubbin for cash. All the images of the Joes so far are pretty much black bodysuits.

Pretty dure they will be having multiple wardrobe changes in the movie.
