Many repainted vehicle in the original line, such as Tiger Force, was because the vehicle was very popular but was no longer available at retail. Back in the 80s, there was no internet or massive toy shows so the only way to get old vehicles was for them to be reissued.

It was also explained that either team had stolen intel on those vehicles and used their designs to build their own versions.

As an adult collector, I'm not interested in most v2s and repaints etc.
But I remember, as a kid, not being able to get a certain toy before it disappeared off shelves. Hasbro's somewhat zany approach to re-releases at least meant you had another chance to collect that character/vehicle (albeit tweaked). And from Hasbro's point of view, releasing repaints etc. was a safer business strategy - since people could buy it regardless of whether they had the original or not. |
