However, in recent years, more stories have come out that the decision to cancel the 3 3/4" G.I.Joe line was a direct result of the 1994 merger between longtime rivals, Hasbro and Kenner. While the exact story is unclear, it is speculated that the merger resulted in a power struggle within the company between former Hasbro execs and former Kenner execs. The end result was the cancellation of the 3 3/4" line - which had been a thorn in Kenner's side for over a decade.

Larry Hama played a North Korean soldier in an episode of M.A.S.H. He and another Korean stole a jeep that Major Burns was riding in. Oh yeah. And he was the writer who wrote almost the entire 155 issue, twelve-year run of G.I.Joe. His superb sense of action and humor, along with his incredible military expertise gave the comic book - and the entire G.I.Joe line itself - an essential sense of reality. When Larry wrote battle scenes, we believed it. And when it came down to mixing in Japanese mysticism and ninjas into the storylines without being corny, he was second to none.
