While Star Wars have always been roughly compatible with Joes, recent years have seen scaled down Marvel figures and release of 4" video game figures from Unimax. We've even seen half-assed attempts at 3 3/4-4" DC, Mortal Kombat, and Thundercats figures, from Mattel, Jazwares, and Bandai, respectively.
While some Joe fans are purists and would like to keep their Joe collections completely separate from other lines, others of us like to be able to intermingle our figures, especially when we can swipe a vehicle or two for Duke and co. This thread is for those people. So, what toy lines would you most like to see in scale with GI Joe? Personally, I'd like to see the following: (Fully transformable) Transformers: This seems like the no-brainer-est of no-brainers. I realize we will likely never get something as large as a transformable Starscream or Optimus Prime, but how about Hound as a VAMP? How about Rumble as a Cobra ASP? I mean they made Star Wars Transformers, and those two have WAY less synergy and connection than GI Joe & Transformers. This would also be a great way to increase international sales, as Transformers are much more popular outside of the US than GI Joe is. Halo: This seems like the second most no-brainer. When a struggling McFarlane wanted to rejuvenate his toys division he cancelled his in house brands and focused on the mega-popular Halo. It seems to have done pretty well for him, but it could be SO much more successful if he had done it in the 4" scale, to allow for cross-pollination with GI Joe. I mean, can you imagine how many Warthogs, Scorpion tanks, and Phantoms he could sell if Joe fans were able to use them with their Joe figures? Not to mention requiring less material for the actual figures, but being able to sell them a price not far from what he's charging for the 5-6" Halo figures. What would you guys like to see?

I would love to see Halo and BBI or a realistic military line. Most are hit or miss.
Halo would be cool if the gear could snap on the joes or you could add armour to vehicles and such. |

Really what I want more then anything is civilians for my Joes to protect. So what I would love to see is for Fisher Price to bring back Adventure people, only with Joe-level of sculpting and articulation (or at least close to it).

At the moment, maybe The Walking Dead. The only other stuff I wish they made 3 3/4"- 4" scale is stuff like Aliens, Terminator, Predator. Or, maybe old stuff like Exo Squad and MASK.
And, before someone mentions Hot Toys, I know. But, I'm talking something that isn't going for insane prices on the secondary market and would be available at retail. |
