Every vehicle/ play set from 82-87 reissued in vintage box. Revisit more of the so/so looking modern figures, release the rest of the CV figures.

True faithful versions of the original 1982 figures.
For example, the 25th Anniversary versions of Flash, Grand Slam, and Zap don't match the 1982 versions. A re-do of Snake-Eyes would be good too. The head and boots don't match the original version. Never saw Zap, Short-Fuse, or Grunt on single cards either. Also, a better 1985 version of Snake-Eyes. Every time they did the Visor head, they screwed it up or made it very different. I'd like to see Duke with all of his original accessories like the 25th Anniversary Tiger Force Duke. A carded Doc that's not mail away. A true version of the 1986 Serpentor figure, not those lousy versions we kept getting. I liked the 1986 figure a lot. 2-seater white Skystriker Altered Tomahawk with removable seats APC |

Love the HISS. I'm hoping for a vintage boxed Water Moccasin and Rattler.

Since it's ME sculpts, I too would like to see some individual carded versions of figures we didn't get in the 25th run. Notably:
Grunt Zap Short Fuse Ripcord Recondo Scrap Iron Alpine Dusty Footloose I'd love too see releases of vehicles that compliment each other for play and display value and can fill more figure gaps. We're getting AWE vs. HISS, now I'd love to see: MOBAT (Steeler) vs. CAT (Crimson Guard) or Stun (Motor Viper) VAMP (Clutch) vs. Stinger (Stinger Driver concept vault) Skystriker (Ace) vs. Rattler (Wild Weasel) Dragonfly (Wild Bill) vs. FANG (Cobra Officer concept vault) Devilfish (Wet Suit) vs. Moccasin (Copperhead) Snowcat (Frostbite) vs. Wolf (Ice viper) WHALE (Cutter) vs. Moray (Lamprey) Tomahawk (Lift Ticket) vs. Mamba (Gyro-Viper) HAVOC (Cross Country) vs. Thunder Machine (Thrasher) But also: Wolverine (Covergirl) APC (Hawk?) Bridgelayer (Tollbooth) ASP (Cobra trooper) Chameleon (Zartan) SNAKE (Kwinn or Dr.Venom)

Probably echoing others here but honestly?
A good (modern construction) Classic Duke, Scarlett, and Roadblock and I might be good on 3.75" Joe figures forever. Not that I wouldn't necessarily pick up some more troops if they get re-releases or revamps, but having recently pared down my collection to "As close to definitive versions" as I could manage, those are among the few major characters that don't have versions I'm fully satisfied with. If they got around to some of the odds and ends the Club did (whether re-released or redone) I might pick up a few of those, too. |

Well, I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll post it here also since this thread directly deals with what we would like to see in the Retro line.
For the next three figures, I am hoping Hasbro will go this route: 1. Roadblock - Fan Club Tiger Force RB in classic ARAH paint scheme 2. Destro - 50th Destro w/ chrome head and cartoon black & grey paint scheme and fix the rubbery legs 3. Scarlett - possibly a kitbash (Pythona) body or Resolute body and a NEW head sculpt Beyond that, if Hasbro wishes to please the fans/customers and their plan is to use POC/50th figures/parts with new paint schemes then I would expect these: 4. Duke - DOTD Flint build w/ Renegades Duke head and ARAH paint scheme 5. Flint - DOTD Flint w/ classic ARAH paint scheme, hopefully they'll correct that greenish looking skin tone. 6. Cobra Commander - dark blue with gold paint highlights 7. Lady Jaye - don't roll your eyes, you know they are going to. 50th 2-pk figure with olive green fatigues and better skin tone and face paint applications 8. Cobra Officer - I would love to see the POC figure with a silver chest emblem 9. Grunt - this is more of a "green shirt" O13 army builder, but use the POC Snake Eyes/Stalker body in "army green" and brown paint apps. For vehicles, my number 1 desire is for them to reissue the Stinger with an updated Stinger Driver using the POC Cobra body in grey with black paint apps. Jason |

For me it comes down to 25th era figures whose execution I wasn't happy with or who were difficult for me to obtain, including:
Duke with better head and arms Scarlett with better head and waist connection Roadblock as big as 50th Gung Ho Updated classic Recondo Updated classic Snow Job Updated classic Quick Kick Updated Classic Spirit (new headsculpt) Footloose Alpine 86 accurate Serpentor

Along with the mentioned updated figures I'd add a fully articulated poc version of classic Deepsix to my want list as well as Dress Blues Gung-Ho.
