** Before Iron Klaw was released as part of the G.I Joe Collector's Club in 2013, there was an aborted attempt to introduce him into the ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' brand, specifically in 2009, where he was planned to be released at the tail-end of the 25th Anniversary line before it was cancelled. Rather than being an individual character, this version of Iron Klaw would've been a generic class of elite soldiers within Destro's Iron Grenadiers.

* FollowTheLeader: ''Extreme'' was basically conceived to cash in on the craze Toy Biz had with its Liefeldian-and-poorly-articulated ''X-Men'' and ''X-Force'' figures. In fact, ''X-Force'' figures were even [[http://www.joedeclassified.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=608 used side-by-side with Extreme prototypes]] in a Hasbro meeting to show off the compatibility.
