Last Saturday, I was staring at Heroclix at a local game shop and thinking they need to come out with a Heroclix for GI JOE or a generic military style game. All set up to play, pre-made, pre-painted game pieces. So after reading your ideas Troynos, I've came up with the best way "Heroclix GI JOE" would work.
GI JOE in this format should be vehicles only, for "army building". Most consumers would have a stopping point with characters. Because most would be fed up with too many character duplicates. But with vehicles only, the purchasing would be limitless. They could make the different vehicle paint schemes too. Tiger Force, Night Force, Python Patrol, Dreadnoks, Slaughters Marauders, Sky Patrol, etc.
The line would consist of 1980's JOE & Cobra vehicles up until today's 30th Anniversary vehicles, including spytroops, Sigma 6, and any other GI JOE line. Also, it would be the best way to finally get the vehicles we want... Tomahawks, WHALES, Vamps, MOBATS, Conquest X-30's, Rattlers, Slugger, Toss'n Cross, Snowcats, Havoc's, Dragonfly's, Skystrikers, Night Ravens, Tactical Battle Platforms, Terrordromes, GI Joe bases. They could also have a "Deluxe" class sets for 10-20 dollars the Cobra's Helo-carrier, the USS JANE and the USS FLAGG. Then the supreme sets class for 25-35 dollars the Main Cobra Base and the Main GI JOE base. They could even make whirlwinds & asps along with the other trailer sets, to be "towed" and released. We could totally army build vehicles and have space to spare. LOL!
You could even use these vehicle pieces with a chess board or GI JOE Monopoly (use vehicles as game pieces, use trailers as houses and bases as hotels).
The other option, is that Hasbro has a game included with the Star Wars figures. So maybe GI JOE could also translate well and be their next step. Tho that means the filecards may suffer if that happens. Though the filecards cant suffer much more than they already have.
So what does everyone think?
Sounds like a cool idea but I think they should retain the characters because they are the driving force (no pun intended) behind the vehicles. They wouldn't have to make them all, just the ones that occupy important duty positions on the roster--a radioman, a medic, a machine gunner, a sniper, a squad leader, etc.
