I actually thought of this for Star Wars first, but it applies to Joe as well. Since most vehicles are basically impossible, would key parts be acceptable? Like a MOBAT turret or Skystriker cockpit or even the bridge of the Flagg. It's no substitute for a vehicle, but at least it's some kind of hardware for the Joes to interact with.

And space constrain too, do you think that a lot of us would pay or rather buy something that big? |

It ends up looking odd. I wouldn't mind seeing the RAM motorcycle or Zartan's skier in full 1/6 scale, though.

This. How bad would Firefly look in this?! Or this for your Cobra Trooper... or THIS! (though to be fair, this would just make me want a Stinger with Driver :/) And many, many other of the small playset/vehicles would work. As mentioned above, The RAM cycle. The Trouble Bubble. The CLAW glider? All of these are more then doable.

Dragon does some nice models that work for 1/6 figures and are around $100. If they can do this for $100. A stinger shouldn't be too much more expensive.

This. While we may never see, or be able to afford a 1/6th scale HISS tank, Stinger, or Rattler. There's no reason they couldn't skip some of these environments, or stagger them with smaller vehicles like...

Unfortunately, I think that if Sideshow made a Stinger, it'd probably cost $400.

When I get me mitts on Zartan I'm gonna make a Chamelion Swamp Skier for him.
I'd love to get in scale vehicles, but the environments are already outta my price range, not to mention getting f^(*ed by customs charges EVERY time I order from Sideshow. It's like another £20 on top of whatever the figure costs. |
