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.
