I would love to see a 7 pack of officers, Lister, and the characters you've chosen are great. Psyche-out is often overlooked, and PsyOps is pretty cool stuff - those people work with Special Forces all the time.
I would like to see a Naval 7 Pack 1. Keel Haul v1 2. Chief Torpedo (Spytroops) 3. Cutter - new uniform 4. Tracker - new uniform 5. Gung-Ho in dress blues 6. Leatherneck in Woodland Camo 7. Rampart How about a combat Officer's 7 pack (all with improved uniforms) 1. Bullet Proof 2. Claymore 3. Captain Grid-Iron 4. Super Trooper 5. Rapid Fire 6. Falcon 7. Sure Fire I would even be interested in a General Officer 7 pack 1. Joe Colton - Army Special Forces 2. Hawk - Army Artillery 3. Flagg - Army Infantry 4. Keel Haul - Navy Surface Warfare & Aviation 5. Rey - Army Cavalry 6. Payload (Colonel) - Air Force/Space 7. Colonel Courage - Army Admin

And I may be alone in this, but I would love a dress uniform set that represented guys from all branches. Accessories might be scant, but they could give them sidearms and removable hats and maybe like briefcases and clipboards.

Yeah, definitely Skidmark - his vehicle is specifically for the desert.
Flint and Duke were both produced in Desert editions - so was Stalker in the DPS. Their Ranger & Special Forces training would include Desert training. Desert Wolf from the 8" line would be a good character to bring over to the 3 3/4 scale. I'm sure Outback could function in the desert. ... is Dusty really the only desert specialist on the team? That's insane. I don't mean that you're insane, Troynos. I mean that Hasbro is insane if Dusty really is the only one. No, I'm insane too. Off the top of my head, Dusty is specifically the only desert specialist on the team. There's almost a dozen arctic (which probably doesn't get as much action as the desert) compared to 1 desert guy. Now there are multiple versions of Dusty, that look pretty different from one to the other. Could make your own guys.

Yeah, I always had a soft spot for Psyche Out. He was a little on the goofy side but I liked him. He was a cool, kind of next level, modern warfare type of guy. He also works as a pretty good scientist for the Joes. 1987 was my last year of collecting ARAH and he was one of the last Joes I ever got.

Hawk and Duke for the Army Shipwreck and Keel Haul for the Navy Ace for the Air Force Gung Ho for the Marines Cutter for the Coast Guard One figure was an odd-ball.

I see Psyche-Out as more of a profiler nowadays. He's part of the mission planning team and helps with the debriefing of mission members. I see him like a criminal profiler, learning cobra's ways to help plan the missions for better success.

I may be even more alone, but I've always wanted some figures in their service uniforms. Much easier to have them manning the PIT that way.

I'll say that I would love to see some sub-teams represented in the 7 packs...
Tiger Force could be expanded. They've given us 3 character, so it would be nice to round it out to 10.. maybe even some of the international Tiger Force figures like Hit & Run and Outback. Night Force would be great. I think they're making Falcon as a single card, but they could do some of the others like Shockwave, and Repeater... even the Night Force Duke was pretty awesome. And just for the fans, I'd really like to see Low-Light with Night Force. Sky Patrol would be a great set... and I know there were only 6 of them originally, so they should just include Free Fall and be done with it. They need to honor the past, but if they just modified some of the uniform colors to be a little more realistic, I think this would really sell. Slaughter's Marauders would be a great set if the tweeked the uniforms to be a little more realistic. Low-Light, Footloose and Sgt. Slaughter... YES! Now, I know that the Slaughter character is owned by another group and is unavailable to Hasbro - but in Europe the figure was called "Sgt. Smasher". And, I think the unproduced "Battle Rangers" sub-team would be a great 7 pack. It would give Hasbro a lot of freedom to do whatever they wanted because the figures were never produced. They could make them all ultra-realistic like Marine Deadpool's ODA team.
