Action Man (1993–2006 toyline) saw Hasbro release a comic book showing off some upcoming toy lines that Hasbro have been well known for in the past including the new "The Action Man". It is currently unknown when these toys will be released. IDW are currently set to begin publishing a new series of Action Man comic books, simply titled "Action Man", in June 2016 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Palitoy action figure. As with the original Action Man releases of 1966, the first re-releases of Action Man in the 90s were simply re-packaged Joes; Duke, Cobra Commander, Stalker and Snake Eyes;
Joe 90 Three". Despite the existence of a global government and intelligence organisation, the nations of Earth are still politically divided into Western and Eastern blocs; here, Cull argues, "Joe 90" is similar to other Anderson series in that it "unashamedly capitalized on the Cold War cult of the secret agent whose skills defend the home from enemies unknown". The recurring antagonist of WIN and Joe is the non-aligned "Eastern Alliance", which dominates Asia and appears in the episodes "Attack of the Tiger" and "Mission X-41". Meanwhile, villains in "International Concerto", "Business Holiday", "Arctic Adventure" and "The Professional" speak with Slavic accents.
