The vehicles would need to incorporate video game-like qualities or other electronics to engage a new generation of children...but Hasbro seems unable to grasp the concept.
They grasp it and have tried to incorporate it, they just do so horribly. See that ridiculous AT-ACT set.
Adult collectors need to accept vehicles aren’t a draw for a toyline with kids. Star Wars vehicles barely move and continuously have to be clearanced. Fitting figures into vehicles kids likely won’t buy won’t dictate the scale for the next line. How we remembered playing with our Joes 35 years ago isn’t going to determine what Joe will be tomorrow anymore than 12” dolls with removable clothing didn’t dictate what RAH was in 1983.
We’ve become our parents and sound exactly like 12” collectors sound when they continuously talk about how the next Joe line should incorporate the things they loved about the 12” line.
