GI Joe is back... again.

Well, that was certainly a short "hiatus."

Hasbro will be offering Joes through their new online store, set to open next month. Some of the first items will be a black Humvee, a new comic three-pack (Zartan, Cobra Commander, Zarana) and, the coolest-- a new SINGLE-PACKED figure of Scrap Iron whose packaging pays homage to old-school ARAH GI Joe.

I personally think that this is a good idea for Hasbro.. I think sales where sagging with the line and instead of jacking the price like the comic book companies they decided to cut out the middle man in order to increase profits.

I like the fact that you can go on line and order what you want.. I hope that they continue to finish the ladies (like BombStrike) and allow people to order the numbers of certain figures even if they have to wait a month or two to fill them.. This will cut out allot of the crap on ebay.

I hope the rumors about the rise of the BATS are true.. mainly because I have most of what I need for my rather large Cobra Army.. but in that area I'd love to do more!!!!

I'm glad they seem to be continueing the comic 3-packs and seem to be going back to the single pack figures. Not so sure about that new Scrap-Iron but that new black Humvee looks sweet.
