Does anyone think we have a chance of getting a new rerelease of the Stun? Is it popular enough? I know the tooling exists, but is it Tomahawk popular or not? I want more Cobra vehicles and can't bring myself to pay over a buck fifty or more on Ebay. I for one would love it although I would like a Whale before it. Any thoughts?

How do you know the tooling still exists?
Hasbro got rid of all the old tooling (that they still had) because it was too expensive to keep in storage. Many, most of the tooling from the '80s were broken/damage over the years. Which is why the '80s vehicles we have been getting since 2008 have been newly retooled.

I got lucky and picked up a complete stun at the thrift store for 1.49 last week. Np moto viper of course,but at that price who cares......anyway I doubt we will get a modern one. At least in the sense of a classic one. Now some sort of reimagined modern update could be possible,but hasbro has already stated that vehicles in general will not have a lot of focus placed on them moving forward. But the glory days of 15 or so new vehicles a year was over.long before modern era joe started.

Sorry, but I really hope not. The Stun just, kinda sux. When I first got back into collecting Joe full bore I grabbed one from a local collectors shop and I still regret it. The design is ridiculous, essentially just a means to rapidly move five exposed targets into the line of fire.
