2013 GI Joe Toy Fair Predictions

Guess we'll have to push the movie line back a little more...
When it comes to predictions on Toy Fair stuff, I'm almost assuredly 99% wrong most of the time. So you should probably trust my predictions.

Firstly, my "Crystal Ball" says that we will probably see lots of snow. Hasbro will lose the JIFF Peanut butter box that held the Vault toys in a snow dune and thus they will never see the light of day. Inside sources tell me that this is what happened to the molds for various G1 Transformers and the Tomahawk.


Guess who didn't get his Night Viper...
Okay, for serious predictions, I think we'll see the Night Viper and Crimson Guard moved into another post-movie line. These may actually be some sort of Hasbro in-joke, where representatives get to sadistically tease fans with, only to push them back into another line. We may actually see them in 2019's G.I. Joe - The Future of Cobra toy line, where they will shelf-warm since two better versions of these figures were already released since then...

99% chance we'll get a new version of this guy! I'm sure of it!
I also think we will see some of the "Vault" figures released into a new, post movie line. I also figure that none of what actually interested me from the "Vault" will actually ever be released.

Figures I predict that we will see in some way at the show:

  • Vault Hit & Run
  • Vault "Zombie" Commander
  • Crystal Ball
  • A new Destro
  • 2 Storm Shadows
  • 3 Snake Eyes'
  • A new Rock & Roll using the PoC Trooper body
  • Ghost Ninja Henchman
  • A better Dice than the Club made
  • ...and the fan favorite Gold Ninja Warrior! 
I expect these will be announced and then summarily cancelled 5 minutes later. 



Let's see what happens Saturday!
