Hey I know, let's get Rocky too, so he and Big Boa can have a big Joe vs. Cobra boxing match! (jk) Seriously, c'mon, we've been down this road before. I think Hasbro has and hopefully we have learned our lesson. Joes first, gimmics later, way later...

...plus Id love to see those boxing glove pack ins again LoL

none of these include their 25th counterparts:

Lady Jaye - 5
Gung Ho - 17
Roadblock - 15
Torpedo - 3
Snowjob - 2
Wild Weasel - 5
Tomax and Xamot - 5
Ace - 7

those boxing gloves were pretty sweet, a tad out of place, but sweet nonetheless

I fell for Python Patrol the first time...aw, who am I kidding, I'd probably buy them again. But it's not like these molds go bad, maybe they can wait until down the road to use them again when things start running slow...kinda like they did the first time around.

Was anybody else bothered by the fact the figures had completely different paint schemes from the vehicles? I loved the red/black scales on the vehicles, but the troops looked like a Ted Turner wet dream.

Ouch.

And for the record, how many versions of Crystal Ball and Big Boa? How about Python Patrol, Cobra-La or any of the other gimic series'? Did any of these appear in more than one wave (or whatever they called the yearly releases back in the day)? Just complicating things again with a reality check...

I'd love to have the Python Patrol, they were one of my favorite sub-factions. But out of the original 6, the Python Viper is the only one I really want the most and I'd definitely buy him in bulk, so a TRU or Target 5-pack exclusive of Python Vipers might be the best way to go.
As for vehicles all of flash70's choices are great but we don't even know if Hasbro has some of those molds. I'd love to see the Hurricane VTOL get another release but last I checked the fan community was pretty sure that one was lost down south.
For my money, the vehicles I'd like to see get Pythonized and I know Hasbro has:

Stinger
Rage
H.I.S.S. V (with a working backdoor this time)
Moray Hydrofoil
Rattler

as far as YOJOE says, all the above mentioned figs only had one version each...

I wasn't a huge fan of python patrol or tiger force. I did like the Night Force line. But I'd rather have all the originals done first, before we get into these types of repaints. I always viewed the repaints as ways to get more money out of older molds, it was nice to get older accessories (especially in the pre-ebay days) but now as the line has been renewed I think its too early for these types of repaints.

I actually liked Mike Zeck's Raptor.



Yes, he was a little silly in a military comic book... but at least they admitted it in the comics. But as a Marvel comic book character, he wasn't all that bad.

I have similar feelings about Cobra-La. They exsist in the same place as Fantastic 4, HULK or X-Men for me. But not in the main Joe line.

Since we were referencing the original GI JOE Line...I left out all odd sub lines or pretty much anything after the ORIGINAL LINE, since the annv line is focused on just that the ANNV. of the Original line.

And maybe a few had a second version but I cant almost promise you there was only 1 version of most of those characters in the original line...
