DVD Battle Packs

[TommyGoth]

I was looking over Hasbrotoyshop.com's listings for GI Joe 25th items. I noticed that there were only 2 battle packs, the Mass Device and the Revenge of Cobra one. Wasn't there supposed to be an Arise Serpentor Arise one? And if so which figures does it come with?

[Blackmada]

At the Toy Fair Hasbro only showed those two. The next two are going to be released later. I don't think it was ever said who would be in them. All I know is they other two will have peices of the MASS Device.

Yup....just a little longer wait until we learn the details of tht Serpy pack. Maybe at JoeCon......

How 'bout a "Pyramid of Darkness" pack!

[Straight Edge]

Well, according to Hasbro's initial concept, the Battle Packs were all supposed to come with one of the 5-part cartoon miniseries. That would include "Pyramid of Darkness" "Arise, Serpentor, Arise" "The Movie" and "Operation: Dragonfire" (who wouldn't want a blue Lady Jaye repaint and Slaughter's Marauders with an Alley Viper?)

 

Since we know we're getting 5 entertainment packs, and that the Movie pack was dropped in favor of a "Best of" Pack, it should be a no-brainer that the other two Sunbow miniseries will be the focus of packs 3 and 4.

[Pygmalion]

I beleive I've read somewhere the other two packs will be based on G.I. Joe the movie and Pyramid Of Darkness.

[Blackmada]

The next two should be Pyramid Of Darkness and Arise Serpentor Arise.

 

Hasbro Dropped GI Joe: The Movie and I never heard of there ever being plans on doing Dragonfire.

Kinda doubting Dragonfire was even considered given its status as being produced by DiC rather than Sunbow, not to mention 89 not being a terribly well respected year by many Joefans and casual consumers. That isn't to say I wouldn't have a baby and buy 3 sets if they ever made that set (keeping in mind Dragonfire was MY big GI Joe moment), but I just don't see that one ever happening.

 

 

With 5 packs, we got the first two miniseries, with Pyramid of Darkness and Arise Serpentor given. The last set was to be based around the 87 movie, but that apparently got scrapped in favor of a "Best of" pack.

We haven't heard anything because Hasbro has ALWAYS played their cards close to their chest. WE haven't seen orders for anything past the initial batch of stuff due August, and probably won't until Joecon.

I wouldn't mind if they did more Battle Packs based on non mini series episodes. They don't need to throw in DVDs if they don't want to.

[Cobra Command]

I`m betting the movie pack is still on eventually. Doesn`t have to focus on Cobra La, many other characters introduced in the movie like the Renegades and Rawhydes.
