I would like to make desert & artic customs out of some of the GI Joe and Cobra vehicles. Like the Vamp, Armadillo, etc… but I’m afraid to waist my time and money just to see Hasbro come out with real ones later on down the road.
I know they are coming out with the artic Hiss and I think that is great. But do you thing they will do the same for other vehicles? Do you think they should do it to other vehicles? Seems like a no brainier for Hasbro. Take an excising product, paint it a different color, re-package it, sell it, and make lots of money. What do you all think? Will they? Should they? |

They made a desert AWE Striker, so yeah, I'd assume there would be some at some point in the future.
But make your own customs, will get it alot sooner. Arctic Hiss won't be out for a couple more months.

I just got a Desert AWE Striker two days ago and was reading the file card. It says the Joes have a fleet of AWE strikers for every environment. I thought, "Hmmm. Wonder what color is coming next?"
Considering Hasbro isn't going to release a lot of larger vehicles anytime soon, and keep rereleasing the smaller ones, I have a feeling the AWE Striker and HISS will become the Jedi Starfighters of the Joe line. For those who may not know, Hasbro released both versions of the Jedi Starfighter in every color imaginable so every main Jedi Master can have his own personal starfighter. Then I wondered how many colors can Hasbro use and still be realistic for Joe? 1) Green / Woodland 2) Tan / Desert 3) White / Arctic 4) Black and/or gray / Urban/Night Force 5) Python Patrol & Tiger Force Then Hasbro can mod the weapons and rerelease them all again. I don't know if I would like an Arctic AWE Striker, but I wouldn't mind an Arctic Vamp Mk II or Stinger. A desert Stinger may look too much like a Vamp Mk II, but a desert HISS would be cool. From the Ask Hasbro questions it's a safe bet we're getting a Python Conquest and Tiger Rattler.

Need the Devilfish.
An arctic jeep for the Joes, the Vamp Mark 2 would make a better choice since it's less open then the AWE Striker. We have green/tan, white and gray would be the next.

Yeah its a definet that hasbro will be releasing a rainbow selection of vehicles. Just hard to guess which ones and what they may change (i.e. the Stinger launcher on the artic hiss).
Put me down for one Night AWE Striker w/Lowlight. Last edited by Cdt Weasel; 11-06-2008 at 12:05 PM.. |

For a custom POLAR BATTLE BEAR...What would be good for a base or frame to build from?
I've been brainstorming, and I'm tempted to say that the white box that bank checks are shipped in would be a start. I'm tempted to say this--but I won't. Though I do also have some spare white plastic bits for detail. Anyone have any other, more realistic, suggestions for doing a BATTLE BEAR custom from scratch?
