I look at some of the 80s figs to compare parts, but always seem to have head problems in basic terms. Also you never know if or when they will ever make that figure in an update. I also never owned the cobra island sets, and know that I need some of the figs like mindbender, but I did see that they were making a new hit n run figure. I'd hate to waste my money on something so expensive, then they remake the figures, and sell them single carded. As a rather new joe fan, It's unknown to me on who they haven't made and who they have made, but I do know that they made alot of figures in the 80s line. Do you think they will ever remake all the 80s figures?
Dude Just customize away! Hasbro is never gonna release all the Joes of yester-year. I've built an entire army of custom Joes to fill the gap. I rarely post shit cause my work is pale at best and straight up "who the hell is that supposed to be" at worst but thats how I fill the void. Yeah once in a while Hasbro will actually make a figure that isnt Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow or Duke but that dont happen often. I seriously doubt guys like Salvo, Fast Draw, Countdown or Bulletproof will ever get the 25th style treatment. And some of my favorite joes as a kid where vehicle drivers like Hotseat, Payload and Windchill. I'll never see them again unless I make customs of them.
And if they do come out, oh well, just replace them.
How many times have we not replaced 25th Duke?
When Lifeline, Airtight and Law where released I gave my customs a dicomissioning post here:

Another thing Galactron said is very true. They dont have to look exactly like the originals. I think some of the best work Ive seen comes from customizers taking creative liberties on thier work. A simple thing like changing the color of a vest or cammo patern makes a world of difference.
I remember someone did a custom of Footloose but changed the cammo paten to desert khaki and it blew my mind how good it looked. Another guy changed Skidmark's orange vest for a black one and he looked like a badass.
look at how badass Kingbiohazerd's scoop looks without the school bus yellow:
