Hypotetical: Your GI Joe comic franchise

[gung-hoeddie]

all the more reason to go to roll call 2 lads to find out more

...besides, MASK and COPS both take place in the future. MASK's tie-in comic dealt with MASK working for the Peaceful Nations Alliance (iirc) and VENOM worked for Contraworld.

MASK and COPS released in late 80's early 90s, now its 2011 nothing in MASK says it cant happen now and COPS doesnt ever give us a actual time.

but again if happening now then both would be in the future if considering when they were originally released

PNA and Contra World, for MASK is correct but wouldn't something like that make sense after the events of WORLD WAR III ?

IMVHO yes, same as GI JOE EXTREME ALLIED Nations group coming into existence.

WORLD WAR III is the spark to it all!

LOL

I'd try to create a "Hasbroverse" franchise, with the Joes as the center of the relatively normal side and the Transformers as the center of the cosmic side. Of course, characters from the cosmic side wouldn't appear in stories of the normal side, just like super-powered DC characters don't appear in Batman comics.
Of course, both "centers" would need more than one series: the Joes would work pretty well with the same series as in Marvel, one with advanced tech and continuity, and another with self-contained stories of more realistic military missions. Transformers should have one series set on Earth (to focus in the Robots in Disguise aspect and show cluelessness on Earth customs and another set on Cybertron and other planets, more like a space opera.
The COPs series should begin with a gang war between Big Bos' gang and the Headhunters, with the DEF as guest stars. After the end of that first saga, writers should check which DEF members worked well in the team dynamic and keep them with the COPs.
Before having a MASK series, Trakker should appear in GI Joe as a test ground for the MASK series. Since it's in the middle point between "realistic soldiers" and "fantastic technology", it would likely get a lot of crossovers with other series.
Action Man, to differentiate his stories from the Joes, would participate in more stealth and/or secretive operations with Action Force (as a mix of the Palitoy and AM rosters).
Inhumanoids should limit their actions to a specific geographic area to not disturb the realism of other series. However, would be "transplanted" to this series with the new codename Sabre Jet, just like he was in Sunbow.
The Oktober Guard also deserve their own miniseries. Not a regular series, or they'd stop appearing in the Joes' comic.
While Jem and MLP are part of the 'verse, they wouldn't work. the idea of Mr Benton using advanced tech only to turn his daughter into a superstar currently generates some implausibility (the concept worked in the more inoccent 80s yet not today), and while the Ponies' land is technically part of the hasbroverse, they are too cartoonish to believably appear close to the others (just like, despite Disney owning Marvel, the Avengers don't meet the Ultraheroes).
Did I forget something?

Where do the smurfs fit in?

[DAMartin]

Technically they aren't Hasbro, but since this is all hypotetical, I may add just for fun:
The main Smurfs series wouldn't change too much, they would keep the same social parody as ever, without too much change due to the main characters' longevity (as shown in their Sophie cross-over). Just that if they go to human settlements, it would be the present day and they would find AM and other hasbroverse characters instead of their old supporting characters who, even if alive, must be pretty old and should be replaced by identical distant descendants who would appear in the other series to highlight the shared universe; for example a descendant of Peewit should be a recurring "Huggy Bear"-like character in COPs.
Phew! Such a long paragraph for such a short punchline.

Has anyone made a 3 3/4" action figure Smurf custom?

Has anyone made a 3 3/4" action figure Smurf custom?

Here's a photoshop I did years ago when a particularly Smurf coloured Cobra Commander figure was released.

[Thundershot]

I like that there blue Pac-Man ghost, it looks like he's running away from in terror.

[DAMartin]

For a Smurf to be in scale with 3 3/4" figures, should be in a small size like the Signal figurines, but the photoshopped image is really funny (Talbot is gonna shoot Azrael! Doesn't he have an Hypocritical Vow about pets? ).
