Picked up 25th Anniversary Torpedo from my favorite toy/comic shop today.
Store manager is pretty up to date with the new 25th Anniversary figures and vehicles coming out, told me some interesting news. To believe it or not is the question.. He mentioned (his words were its "its confimed") that Hasbro will be releasing an updated 25th Anniversary Defiant, based on the sales of the new vehicle line being shortly released. If the vehicles sell well, the Defiant will be a reality. He has never been a big talker or tried to be the guy with the big news before, and he has been on target about upcoming figures in the past. He has mentioned hios source is from Hasbro. With the Toyfair just finishing recently, I find this news a little hard to believe as we would have heard something from there. Or did I miss something??? Anyways, believe or not. Its something that I would love to see happen. Regards Dirty Jack PS- New Torpedo is amazing! Love the design!! |

That would be AWESOME!!! However take what he said with a grain of salt you know??I'm sure if the vehicles sell well(which most likely they will if not over ordered from stores) we will see bigger and better things.Just my take anyways.Anything is possible during the movie year.

I would love to see this happen, as I spent many, many hours playing with my Defiant.
I honestly couldn't see this playset being made before a G.I.Joe HQ or a Terrordrome though. :( |

The original Defiant never made it into my collection in the past. You can bet if one is made this time, i will have one...

I may be wrong, but this seems like the second most unlikely large vehicle set we'd ever get from Hasbro (the first being the USS Flagg). I would be shocked and surprised to find out this were true. I'd certainly try my best to get one.

Plus, a big reason why I don't think we'll ever see a playset on the scale of the Defiant....
G.I.Joe The Movie The Movie will be here soon enough, and with so many vehicles apparently making an appearance in this movie, I couldn't see Hasbro finding the Defiant to be a sound investment. I would though |

Never liked the Defiant as a kid. It took my Joes where I didn't need them to go. Probably wouldn't buy it if it came out today. It seemed to carry the Joes to neoncolorland. But I agree about Torpedo. He's fantastic.

I can see the Crusader, the Defiant's shuttle component being made, but not the entire Defiant complex. The Crusader was only $29.99 when released in 1989.
