Not gonna happen. They tried accessory packs with Star Wars which has a much larger fanbase, and they bombed. They won't touch them here.

I'd buy that. With separate divisions (like Python Patrol or Tiger Force), those are fine as repaints. But with the countless Dukes and Cobra Commanders out there, who all have the SAME body, I just don't understand the logic behind those. At least with the several Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows, we get different bodies.
The new versions with the same body are not only to save mold cost, but for the children who buy the line (and they DO exist) who want a Duke, or a Snake Eyes, or whatever as close as possible to a version no longer on the shelf. Yes, 89 Snake Eyes is still the same character as 82 but if I'd missed the 5-pack I'd much rather have the commando on the shelves than the S&M outfit, even if its colors are off.
