Hmmm..., that leaves a lot unaccounted for... not least of which is the AF9!  Cheers!  SPACE COMMANDER _________________ ACTION FORCE; The 21st Century Mini-Comics Project. viewtopic.php?f=62&t=13534

well, the stuff they don't own is the pallitoy produced stuff. the snowmobile, jeep/boat, multi-mission and diving platform, the shadowtrak, roboskull, satellite defence, stingray, sea skimmer, sea lion, silent attack kayak, boat attack, z force jeep, swordfish, triad and cosmic cruiser. and the non-articulated figures and related names - except 'Breaker' and 'Tracker' which were used by Joes. they also don't own the names for the repainted Joe figures except Steeler and Salker which were used on repaints.

EXACTLY as I'd suspected... (hence the tactical questions I suggested in earlier Q&A Sessions which The Baron posted links to previously)  . SPACE COMMANDER _________________ ACTION FORCE; The 21st Century Mini-Comics Project. viewtopic.php?f=62&t=13534

We know they own Gung-Ho, Stalker, Snae-Eyes, Scarlett, Tripwire, Cobra Officer, Cobra Commander and Destro, but whether or not they own the Intellectual Property or character designs to the UK variants is a pivotal issue. _________________

well, I'm guessing mostly, but i'm guessing based on probabilities.

And here are the answers!
1. We have seen several times now the green and black Quarrel (UK Action Force) inspired repaint of Scarlett (not the blue and silver Pilot Scarlett) figure. The GI Joe resolute comic pack Arctic Scarlett vs Cobra Commander shows her on it. When is this due to be released?
The Arctic Scarlett vs Cobra Commander set did not make it to production due to timing issues and getting it out before movie. We are looking at other uses for the tools and comic down the line.
2: Some of the pre-release imagery for the Resolute Destro figure show him with a robotic arm. Is this a nod towards the Action Force variant of Destro v1 known as Red Jackal? According to his original bio he has a bionic head and hands, with electronic volt facility that makes even handshaking deadly.
Sorry to say that as far as we know it was not a nod to Action Force.
3. Is Sgt. Stone from the forthcoming Rise of Cobra movie a British character like Lt Stone from Sigma Six or is he an American like Lt. Stone from GI Joe Extreme?
Sgt. Stone is an American. We like the name and tie into the lore, so we provided him as an option to the studio for a special role.
With grateful thanks to Mike Surabian.

Maybe we could ask them nicely to specify which  characters they own, (if not all of them, that is) after the whole licence-slip business. It could help with projects.Perhaps that could be a question for next time. SPACE COMMANDER COOL! Thanks for the update, Baron! Can I submit my question (above) for the next round, please? I was too late last time... Cheers! SPACE COMMANDER _________________ ACTION FORCE; The 21st Century Mini-Comics Project. viewtopic.php?f=62&t=13534
