Given what we know already - ie: a VAMP, RAM, etc coming out, what do you think they'll give us next, provided these do well (and I'm sure they will).
I'm thinking: Stinger - because it's mostly a VAMP repaint anyway, it's easy for them to do. We've got the driver already, after all. People are clamoring for this one... VAMP MK II - less likely than the Stinger, but still pretty likely. Another easy repaint... and people will be wanting a tan Clutch, I'm sure. Rattler - people want an airplane, and this is the most likely I think. It's not huge (like the Skystriker), they've used the mold recently so we can assume it's not lost in India or whatever (that ugly gold one from the early '00s), and it's an iconic vehicle. Ferret - small and easy to sell, like the other vehicles they've been showing pics of (Armadillo, Flight Pod, etc). We know they have this mold because they used it for Con exclusives recently. Either a MOBAT or a Mauler - we know they have parts for the Mauler - whether they think it's worth it to remold those broken parts (from the '07 Convention fiasco), we'll see. The MOBAT is an obvious choice, but they may think it's too small for 25th figures. Either way, both could use a makeover, especially in the turret. Personally I don't care which they'd use because I'd display them with classic Joes anyway, but that's just me... Anyway, the Joes need a tank, period. Tanks are central to a modern military force, after all! Conquest X-30 - I think this will come out as a substitute for the Skystriker, like they did with the '97/'98 relaunch. Like the Rattler, it's not a "large vehicle" and retailers probably won't mind. |

I would think the Skyhawk would be a fairly easy vehicle to redo, and not too large or expensive. Wouldn't be surprised to see it.

Yep, Skyhawk should be on that list. Forgot about those Convention items.
BTW, this isn't what you WANT to see, just what you THINK we'll see, realistically. |

I'd like to see a bunch of the original "small" vehicles, but I don't want to hear of them reusing old parts. Give us some new, updated molds of old favorites!!!
-Zartan's Chameleon, boxed with Zartan (or one of his relatives) -The SkyHawk - Cobra FANG (the original, not the new versions) - Cobra CLAW - Water Moccasin (they could make this a kick@$$ RC boat) - Snow Cat - DevilFish - Firebat I think Hasbro really dropped the ball on not-making all their 25Anniversary figures with backpack holes. It'll make vehicles like the CLAW tough to hold figures, without either some straps or a clip like the Trouble Bubble. Plus, it reduces the play value of figures when ONLY Gung-Ho, Roadblock and SnowJob can have packs. And am I the only one who'd like to see the PAC/RAT's updated? I think it'd be timely with the emergence of more and more battlefield robots, and unmanned combat vehicles. |

I want a NEW G.I.Joe Headquarters. Not a Re-release. And no you are not the only one who want P.A.C.-R.A.T.s. I loved those things.

That's where I tried to go with the Skyhawk; I also wouldn't put some of the others folks have mentioned out of reach, such as the Devilfish, the Water Moccasin, the snowmobile (can't remember the name...) the CLAWs, etc. I think "small" is the key, holding 1-2 figures. I don't know that we'll see anything bigger than that till the film.
