that's what I was afraid of

(afraid that they would answer our questions in an announcement before answering the boards, not afraid of the actual answers we got)

oh well, at least now we know!

...and knowing yadiyadiyada.

1. I just want to thank you for giving us international repaints such as Satan Ninja ku and Glenda, its been a long time wish of mine to own these characters and having them in the 25th style is just icing on the cake, I sincerely hope they continue, My question is on the Ninja ku card you had the words Ninja-ku and you made the character almost a pefect update of the original figure, but then you stopped short of calling him Ninja-ku and named him Storm Shadow instead. You even copied the original art, but then you also made him caucasion and not a darker skin tone like the original. Then with the upcoming Glenda you have the International logo again on it but gave her Red hair when the original had blonde. Could you shed some light on this? Why were these decicions/ thought process behind it, made when you went so far in doing it ? Again I just want to say thank you for these and hope to see more but more accurate depictions

2. What other countries have you considered doing international Characters from?

I gotta agree with jamar on this one. Why change the Ninja Ku character into yet another SS? If you are going to give us figures under the "International" tag then let it be that actual character. Yeah, it's another ninja and I feel we don't need a new one every wave, but this was a nod to an older figure and I was cool with getting another ninja because of that fact. What gives?

Will the movie, cartoon and comic be grounded in real time, referring to real events (for example, the Marvel comic referred to the Vietnam War, to JFK), or will they will they be "timeless", like Devil's Due did towards the end of their run?

Will this new continuity be good for another 25 years?

Will there be a comic based on the new Resolute cartoon?

Why does Hasbro want IDW to use the name Heavy-Duty instead of Roadblock in the new comic, even if the character will basically be Roadblock both in looks and personality?

2.) When can we hope to see the first GIJoe movie trailer?

3.) Why does Hasbro want IDW to use the name Heavy-Duty instead of Roadblock in the new comic, even if the character will basically be Roadblock both in looks and personality?

4.)
