Okay we have all seen the pictures of what we are getting this fall for the TRU toy line. Some great, some so so, and some like the Duke pretty much suck. Hasbro loves to save money by not investing in new tooling and I can understand that. What I don't understand is why they don't capitalize on something they could sell really well, and what most of us would love to have. I have posted this before, but why don't they do a Cobra Troopers 7-pk with modern sculpts?!!!
It would require no new tooling, and would sell really well. It could have: 1. Cobra Officer, POC Concept Vault; with dark hair 2. Cobra Officer, POC Concept Vault, with blonde hair 3. Stinger Driver, POC Concept Vault 4. Cobra Viper Pilot, POC style with silver emblem 5. Cobra Trooper, POC African American 6. Cobra Trooper, POC style in desert colors; black hair 7. Cobra Trooper, POC style in desert colors; red hair Personally, I would buy at least 4 of these! And if they wanted to do a Joe counterpart that required almost no new tooling: 1. Duke Ultimate 1984 style, POC head, 50th Flint arms and torso, POC SE legs 2. Flint SDCC 50th, released with darker green paints and camo 3. Lt. Falcon, Marauders figure in classic colors and classic gear 4. Roadblock Ultimate 1984, Resolute head on Retaliation body in 1984 colors 5. Rock & Roll Concept Vault 6. Grunt Concep Vault 7. Recoil, 30th Life-Line head, 25th Dusty body, just have to design new web-gear and helmet |

In the context of a hypothetical Cobra Trooper pack, I'd love to see the Resolute version of the Trooper make an appearance (perhaps this time with the Cobra sigil in a visible location).

I would like to see the 5-7 pack composed of figures that are similar to one another and look like they go together. The 30th Viper and Trooper look like they belong to the same army. I would like to see the unit composed of similar figures with unique accessories. For example:
Cobra Officer - looks like 30th Viper (black, blue and red) with gold visor, sub-machine gun, etc. Cobra Viper - similar to the 30th Viper but with new weapons. Cobra Trooper - similar to the 30th Trooper but with new weapons. Cobra Viper Heavy Weapons Specialist - similar to the 30th Viper but with a heavy weapon. Cobra Tele-Viper - similar to the CV Tele-Viper in 30th Viper/Trooper colors. Cobra Viper - 30th Viper given the black treatment like the DG Trooper. Just an example of what I would like to see in a troop builder pack. |

Here is another idea:
Kinda retro, yet updated Extreme Conditions army builders: Arctic set: Ice Viper - RoC Ice Viper with new camouflage (BAT pattern maybe?) Ice Viper heavy weapons - RoC Ice Viper with repaint vest from Snowjob (to allow a backpack to be attached) with heavy weapon. Snow Serpent - RoC Snow Serpent in BAT camouflage. Snow Serpent - CV Snow Serpent in BAT camouflage. Arctic BAT - slight variation on current Arctic BAT - maybe dark gray or black instead of silver? Tele-Viper - arctic Tele-Viper in new colors w/BAT camouflage and updated gear. Desert set: Cobra Officer - 50th Cobra Officer in cool desert camouflage. Crimson Guard - 50th Crimson Guard in cool desert camouflage. Cobra Trooper - 50th Cobra Trooper in cool desert camouflage. Cobra Specialist - CV Trooper (or Heat Viper) in in cool desert camouflage. Cobra Viper - 30th Cobra Viper in cool desert camouflage. Cobra BAT - 25th (Jungle?) BAT in cool desert camouflage. Due to limited figure releases, they would have to be released in different years unless Hasbro wanted to go for the big bang. Good idea? Last edited by IC3 VIP3R; 07-02-2016 at 05:59 PM.. |
