Would the Cobra snake transport make more sense than the FLAGG? Like the sail barge, it was never produced and fills a hole in the toy line.

I think a creative designer at HasLab could pull off a GI Joe Pit/ Star Wars Death Star playset with relative ease. A few simple textured wall changes, accessory swaps, different decals and viola! Both camps are happy and cha ching! Hell, they've already done it with the Cobra Mountain/ Attack of the Clones playset and then there was the Star Wars Mustafar playset updated for the Indiana Jones Crystal Skull line.

I have a Flagg and it does take up some space, but even after all these years I still cannot look at it and not be amazed by it's grandiosity. If Hasbro made another one I would want it to be larger: the deck would need to be longer and wider and the super structure should be wider, longer and taller too. And it would need to fit modern era figures. For me personally, if they updated the Flagg like I said and not gave us some chintzy Resolute Flagg knock off piece of garbage I would likely sell my vintage Flagg to make room for the new one.

After running the survey monkey, I would advise to focus your efforts into looking at something unproduced, iconic (the tough part), and not something already made in the past, that can be picked up for less than a HasLab crowdfund would cost.

Toys and Stuff: Marx Navarone Giant Playset Silent Castle could have Destro's ready room with a Joe and Cobra Chess set, A dungeon, A place to put Snake Eyes when he is rappelling down the side, throne room with giant snake throne, CLAW hangar, paper targets for Cobra Commander, Radar dish, Gun emplacements, Hama designed the castle to be "real" before he drew it. Every angle every room is consistent. Lots of potential in the Silent Castle, Cobra Island, or the Pit. The thing about the Cobra Chopper is it is the vehicle version of Kwinn. Tons of appearances but never a Hasbro product. GIJOE C-130? same thing. Have a vehicle in the cargo hold or crates of goodies. All it takes is a little imagination.

I’d struggle to make $500, but even if I had the money I doubt I would want to spend more than that. Especially since it won’t actually do anything but gather dust while serving as my man-cave’s coffee table.
And for most toy factories, 5000 units is the minimum they would even consider making. Less than that and it’s not even worth getting out of bed. |

A Flagg would have to be absolutely AMAZING for me to consider getting one. The Sail Barge is awesome and I was really interested until I saw the price. I have a really hard time spending $500 on a toy. Sorry I guess I'm too cheap or this hobby is getting out of control.
