New sculpt Vehicles based on old, or re-issues, which do you want?

Personally I want a new Phantom X-19. I still have the old one in a few pieces that I need to put back together. I think one of the sliders for the cockpit is broken but most of my old Joe stuff is, or at least in very used shape.

DUDE I LOVE that thing! MY uncle bought it for me as a child and it was the best thing I had next to the Crusader that my parents bought me for xmas.

All till my nieghbor that we used to babysit decided to thrash it, the crusader AND MY NIGHT BOOMER!!

To this day I wonder if my childhood would have been different had those not broken. I probably would not be begging for a skystriker reissue as much!

The Phantom X-19 was so ahead of its time for that toyline. The internal weaponry, the look, and the sheer power it gave the joes. If the joes needed a high speed stealth strategic fighter bomber that could defend itself, look no further than that! Ghost rider's bio was hilarious too. And it was a 2 seater!

Such an awesome plane. Looking at it, you just knew the joes would save it for the most crucial of missions, thats one of those birds that isn't seen much!

Yes, it truly was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Joe jets. I would love to have a remold or new sculpt of it. I probably wouldn't have room to display it, it is probably one of the biggest Joe jets that I can think of, but it would be so cool to have one that doesn't look like a kid, namely myself, has used it 5000 times. What's even better is now that Hasbro is making Marvel figures they could use the name Ghostrider.

Yea man. All they'd have to do to retool it would be to make the canopy opening mechanism simpler as well as the sliding outerwing panels. Maybe link the pop out guns with the outerwing with a spring released catch. So it becomes a simple push button "automorph" endeavor. The new sculpt anniversary figures can fit in easily too, since they had to be put in with a slanted posture anyways.

replacements parts for the 1987 defiant space shuttle complex would be nice!

I'd love to see a Thunderwing retooled without electronics, looking sleeker and more proportional to the F22.
Or a Storm Eagle without the watergun stuff.

Otherwise, I can deal with a mix of classic and new. As long as they fix the figures to fit.

I'd like to see some retooled vehicles (sorry guys but because of the whole height& foot peg issues they have to be retooled).

Here's my list for Hasbro

A.P.C. This G.I.Joe vehicle held 28 figures, it rolled on land and floated on water and doubled as a carry case with the pull out bumper!

The Whale- The Hovercraft deserves an updated treatment, it's the one boad for the joe team that was always in the fight, plus the sea sled and mini bike rocked for covert missions. Depth charges, spinning blades, this boat had it all.

The SkyStriker- A no Brainer, sure they may have to update it but it's worth it.

NEW!!!

a new, lager more detailed HISS would be #1 on the list/: add the split 2-seater cockpit like in the comics and on the hiss II and the HISS IIs troop carrier ability and it'd be gold. more sculpted and "realistic" tank detailing, and none of the goofy sci-fi-ness of the HISS II and beyond.

I like either of those, or the Ghost Striker.

A New Jet based on the F-117 (bigger than the one they did a few years ago) or a "Joe-ified" LAV would be awesome too.

i may be alone here but io want an updated swamp masher

and some cg vehicles

This is a question I've been thinking about for a while. The VAMP is a great vehicle, its iconic, it's what GI Joe is/was. If my Joes were going some where they were going in a VAMP.

With that being said though, the DTC vehicles were nice, for example the DTC Night Ops Humvee is fantastic, and modern, and what a current Joe team would drive.

So which would you rather have, A Vamp (reissue), A new VAMP, or a nice modern Humvee?

I fight this question question daily, I think new VAMP, Humvee, reissue VAMP in that order...but I can be swayed based on the day of the week.
