Jazwares To Showcase G.I. Joe Products At Nuremberg Toy Fair 2020

under Toy Fair

Official website of Nuremberg Toyfair (Toy Fair Germany) has been updated with their list of 2020 Edition exhibitors and the content they’ll showcase.

Confirming HISSTANK’s exclusive news, Jazwares is present with G.I. Joe license included as one of the contents.

Jazwares GmbH

  • Hall: 4A Booth: C-26 to D-29
  • Product Groups: Plastic Toys, Licensed Articles
  • Licensed Products (in alphabetical order):

Angry Birds, Back to the Future, Benjamin the Elephant, Black Pink, DC Comics (Batman, Justice League), Disney (Classics, Frozen 2, Pixar, Princess, Villains, Frozen Olaf, Finding Nemo, Monster University, Stitch, Toy Story), Fortnite, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Halo, Harry Potter, Marvel (Ironman, Classics, Heroes, The Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men), Micro Machines, Microsoft, My Hero Academia, Nerf, Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, PJ Masks, Pokémon, Power Players, Rick & Morty, Roblox, Sailor Moon, Scooby-Doo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Trolls, WWE

Micro Machines is listed as a brand due to the recent acquisition of Wicked Cool Toys by Jazwares. WCT holds the license to manufacture Micro Machines vehicles on behalf of Hasbro. 

This certainly raise the question of whether Jazwares will actually manufacture G.I. Joe figures. It isn’t unlikely since Hasbro is already giving their IPs to manufacture toys by other companies; akin to how Disney operates. The most recent news being the aforementioned Micro Machines (by Wicked Cool Toys) and Tonka by BasicFun!. However, chances are slim as we heard of Hasbro manufacturing an evergreen line for the Joe brand. Most likely scenario would be the integration into Jazwares’ Domez and Roblox brands.

Nuremberg Toy Fair is just three weeks away from the time of this post and Jazwares will also be at the London Toy Fair, one week prior to that. However, both shows are notoriously famous for their secrecy and we may not see (or even hear) any information until New York Toy Fair 2020.

Stay tuned with HISSTANK for more info.

    When I read accessories I think weapons for the figures but I don’t think that makes sense, to bring another company onboard just to make the guns and backpacks. I saw some role play items in Target from the FN line so maybe that will be what they manufacture.

    The FN figs seem to be made well with a great level of articulation but I don’t own one.

    Let’s just wait till toy fair to see what they’re bringing to the table.

    Since Hasbro has shown they're mostly done with Joe for the time being, this could be a win-win. Hasbro makes money from the license and has near-zero risk with no production costs.

    Hasbro has always wanted to broaden their scope, and this allows them to follow in Disney's footsteps by loaning out their in-house properties.

    I've been a fan of the Fortnite figures to date, and most of them blend pretty well with the later ME figures with something as simple as a head swap.

    I guess this is good news in that we may be getting 4" GI Joe figures, but I'm not a fan of the FN figures. I know nothing about FN, and I have used a FN head here and there for customs, the figure builds are just too off for me to include in my Joeverse.

    Overall, this is good as now there will be GI Joe in FN. I wonder how many players would want to have Snake Eyes as their avatar.

    Win win is Jazwares 4 inch articulated figures like Fortnite figures - more geared towards kids. And then Hasbro makes 6 inch figures.

    One thing Fortnite collectors know: if Jazware is making 4 inch figures - then they have wave 1-4 already completed. That company drops figures left and right that nobody knew was coming and they drop them fast! LOL!
