This is gonna rock!
I'm curious. Can G.I. Joe legally use Action Force characters like Eagle, Leviathan and Skip? I mean, if they can use the Black Major, why can't they use others? I always wondered how much of a legal separation there was between G.I. Joe (in America) and Action Force (Europe)...
IT WAS AT THAT POINT THAT PRIVATE JENSEN UNDERSTOOD WHY THEY NEEDED A SECRET CODE-WORD BEFORE OPENING THE FRONT DOOR...
Well Hasbro bought Palitoy lock stock and barrel and own all the trademarks so there's no reason why they can't use the other characters. Not sure if IDW can use them but I can't see why not. There might be issues using SAS as a team name which is why some of the characters, like Blades, are now from SAF (Special Action Force) instead. I think Leviathan and Skip have both been in the GI Joe Club magazine comic and we might be getting an Eagle figure in the second round of the Figure Subscription Service.
