Well on the tank there were/are many negatives for the HISS and VAMP. Thats what I was refer too, cuz I dont know yet who the usual negative peps are(but I am spotting them)
Also, I sheeped on the Night Raven till I saw one for $9.99, got it,opened it, loved it and now think I am a jackass for listening to all the naysayers on here. I now cant find any but I bought 6 SS and am going to have 2 repainted for arctic usage, and one for python patrol. |

Having seen and handled an original Night Raven, is the new one up to par? Not quite. Is it a worthless piece of junk? Hardly. Do I regret owning it? Not at all. It is a perfectly adequate vehicle on its own, and a cool shout out to the Firefox. Oh my. Went off on a tangent again.

I got a few questions! I've been reading on hisstank about how much molds cost and how we will never see anymore big vehicles.
So with the new striker what do yall think we can see given if they use old molds to regroup their ideas. Basically, if we go with the fact that NO ONE has brought up the point that we got a NEW Night Raven/Sand Serpent, PIT vehicle and HISS tank. Now before yall go off on how bad they were, this is about making new molds with old vehicles in mind (Ford and chevy have blown up the retro look so it obviously in many mind sets across the spectrum of marketing) The key is to keep pushing for what we want. If enough people demand it, it will be made. |

I'm not in the habit of naming names, but after about two months it was pretty easy to spot the usual suspects. The ones that can't shut off their goddamn nostalgia filters and admit "Hey, this new product is just as good as the one from my childhood! In fact, it actually surpasses it in many aspects!"

So you're saying that if I can rally enough people, they may eventually make a Slumber Party subgroup consisting entirely of Joe and Cobra's finest ladies?

I have 2 complete original Night Ravens and several Conquests, Skystrikers, Rattlers. However I dont have a problem with the new ones, I like em and my nostalgia filter went red light and said BUY MFer BUY.
But back to the point: given that Hasbro has shown the ability to make new molds for Joe vehicles, do or can we expect some redone older vehicles( moray or whale cuz we really have not seen any but the sting raider right)! |

After the Resolute Tunel Rat/Training Storm Shadow, there were more comic packs. The TRvsSS comic featured, aside the two characters, the Flagg and the Water Moccasin. The Water Moccasin finally got released, and the Flagg, well.. just look for yourself. The next two where cancelled as comic packs but... The Arctic Scarlett vs Arctic Cobra Commander is the other i know of. Aside of characters (CC, Scarlett and Snow Job), it featured the Polar bear, the WOLF, and the Terror Drome. (and lots of arctic troops like the Ice serpent) Fact: The polar Bear got released, and the Ice Viper from RoC carries the sleds from the WOLF as gear...quite suspicious. The last one is Underwater Duke vs Cobra Lampreys. Again, it featured several vehicles: The Piranha, the Cobra Hydro sled, the Night landing craft, cobra Surveillance port and the Tomahawk (et Lift Ticket) and the Techno-vipers. Fact: Right after that, the CSP got released, Underwater Duke got turned into Wet Suit, and Lampreys for the cobra set...not to mention the all new Tech-vipers. There's also another comic pack, Snake Eyes vs Night Creeper. Not sure about vehicles. Fact: Night Creepers went to cobra pack, and the SE is the "all new" PoC Temple SE about to be released (black with filigrees on armor) I saw/read the scripts of the first three comics, and Hama was particularly nitpicky about the vehicles, on how to draw them, to the point of sending references himself. So... i don't think big H just discards ideas/projects on the works, they simply freeze them. I bet there's good chance to see big stuff like WOLFs and the terrordrome...
