In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figure that you won’t want to let slip by!
ROTF Leader Class Megatron – I really dig the weathering on this figure, although the electronics no longer work – ends Jan 24, 2010 11:48:07 PST

The Hasbro JOE team is back with another round of Q&A. Thanks to Ray from the Fwoosh for these questions.
1. Hypothetical question… If the ROC movie hadn’t existed would you have pretty much stopped the 25th line anyway and rebranded into a new line, or would it have kept going untouched?
Hypothetically, we may have developed a new theme as we strive to continuously keep the brand fresh and relevant.
2. Have you ever considered doing modern updates of monster type Joes like the Bio-Viper, Monstro-Viper – because the customs you had on display of those were awesome.

Great question! This is something we find very exciting and are looking into it, although they may not look exactly like the customs – we may use cues from them as inspiration for future planning.
3. What was the reasoning behind the new Snowcat’s paintjob? As opposed to the original look.
We aim to keep the line fresh and offer cool new looks where possible.
Another timely MSH: What The–?! short from the guys at Marvel – the Hood custom looks just like the one shown at the Hasbro booth at San Diego Comic-Con last year, and I admit I would like a figure of the Iron Patriot with an interchangeable Norman Osborne head.
Check out a short but special “Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! ” SIEGE Promo featuring the Cabal!
With the weight of the past few months hanging over him, why has Norman Osborn gathered his Cabal of The Hood, Loki and Taskmaster together in Avengers Tower for an ominous meeting? We’re not sure, but we do know this Marvel Super Heroes: What The–?! Siege promo has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with hilarity!

I promised you a break from all the Mattel goodness that’s going on right now. You may recall that a couple of weeks ago test shots for the 6-inch versions of Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man were on auction on eBay. Turns out that Fwoosher worldwar_hulk won a set of these test shots, and has sent along a huge number of pics. You may notice a Marvel Legends 2-pack Iron Man in one of the group shots – you can see more of that gold Iron Man repaint in worldwar_hulk’s Fwoosh customs thread.
We first saw these figures as images as part of Hasbro’s Marvel presentation at Toy Fair last year, and were crushed when Hasbro pulled them from their display booth prior to the start of San Diego Comic-Con last July. I am hopeful that since these have had tools made, we’ll eventually get them on our shelves.
