Good show, Baron. Hopefully they will take it seriously. How's the legality of the comic archive tho? Are they still copyrighted works? Will Hasbro get upset? Do they already know? Stay tuned for this and more.....

Our primary goal at BFTB is to bring back the Red Shadows. Ever since DDP reintroduced them to the Joeverse there has been a rising interest. A few select forum members including myself did kick some ideas around for producing them ourselves. However, aside from the significant costs involved, I decided to halt the project as for us to have proceeded would have ruined any possible chances of working with you towards an official Hasbro release.

We have many thoughts and suggestions and would dearly love the opportunity to discuss product design with your team.
(GASP!) Our little project! It might see the light of day after all...! The storyline (to be found in the 21st Century Mini-Comics Project) will hopefully be revealed in it's glorious final version shortly... (not the grubby photocopies I was handing out to the Production Team way back when...)

I do believe Baron that this has paid dividends my friend because now with the Red Shadows in the 2010 Convention Set we could get our wish & see more Action Force & Argen 7 figures in future releases- so well done :lol:

Sorry... Hunter PR? I think I'm missing some info here.... Are they part of Hasbro? Anyway... good score, Baron!
My Mini-Comics are almost done, by the way :mrgreen:

They're the team who handle all of the Hasbro Q&A sessions, SC. here's a quote from Danny's e-mail when I asked him the same question:
Danny Palestine wrote:Long story short, Hunter PR is a public relations agency that focuses in many different industries — one of our clients is Hasbro. What we are: public relations practitioners that focus on Hasbro products. So, while we are all fans of the brand (Star Wars, GI Joe, Marvel etc...c’mon now, who ISN’T a fan?), we are really could just be viewed as a “helping hand”, as opposed to an official branch, to Hasbro — we work for them.
