NEW HASBRO GI JOE 25th ANNIVERSARY THEME POLL

[C.I.A.D.]

Well, from a "Hasbro Standpoint", Tiger Force would be the obvious choice, as they can already belt out a repainted:

Duke
Flint
RoadBlock

As Steve said elsewhere, there must be some sort of deal with Slaughter as his name is even mentioned. The IGs would be all new sculpts....obviously costing more.

I would say, although I BETTER GET IGs....that we'd see either Python Patrol or Tiger Force before any of the others....

That being said, I'd be more than happy with any of'em

Sadly that is all too true. Out of all the themes only the Iron Grenadiers and Oktober Guard would not be repaints, that is assuming that the characters that make up the other teams are in the planning stage as new figures before being repainted as a team.

My guess is that the winner will be made into a Battle Pack. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tiger Force as a Battle Pack instead of single carded figures even if it doesn't win. Like you said they have Duke, Roadblock, and Flint but they could also use Stalker and repaint Firefly as Wreckage and that would be one Battle Pack that wouldn't use a mold that isn't already known to be in the first 25.

With Slaughter's Marauders listed I would be surprised if we didn't get him. They will probably use the Roadblock mold since it is close to Slaughter's look and would only have to make a new head sculpt. That would work fine for me as long as he is in the works.
