O.K. I was thinking why no Skystriker or Wreckage figures been done in the 25th style, they repaint Duke, CC, SE, & SS around 100 times and get 1,000 p.o. fans saying not anouther him or omg not him again when they could easy do these two with no prob. just give Wild Weasel a new head or repaint Firefly with the TF outfit
maybe its just me btw is it any other figures you think would be great for the 25th line that only needs to be repainted or a quick head switch

those would be repaint worthy IMO. easy to make and all it takes is a new head and helm for skystriker. though he'd need to come witht he tiger rat to really be off the hook :>

well if they made Skystriker that pretty much means they would also have to make Thunder, so that would be a good trade off I think.

We will likely never see these figures at mass retail for one simple reason: marketing.
The reason Ninja Ku was labeled a Storm Shadow figure? Because the Average Joe buying the odd GI Joe figure (which there are a lot of now that the line is all retro) will more readily buy a black Storm Shadow than a ninja named "Ninja Ku" Same with Scarlett, an obscure brightly colored figure named "Glenda" will not strike a whole lot of buyers, but a new Scarlett is more recognizable. All likelyhood, should Tiger Force ever get store exclusive boxset, Wreckage is a shoe in given he is a simple repaint. But I would not hold my breath to see him singlely or soon.

yeah, nothing against those figures (and i am a total Tiger Force mark) but i think there's probably at least 100 figures i'd want to see before them, including the Tiger Force repaints of regular characters (Tripwire, Roadblock, etc).
but A TF boxset including the guys you mentioned would be cool.

I'm a BIG Skystriker fan! All I did was take an Ace head, and stuck it on Wild Weasel's body:
Pretty simple, and I think it would make a GREAT exclusive TF Pack! Last edited by gdztoyz; 08-05-2008 at 04:58 PM.. |
