No, but their cargo plane is infinitely better than Hasbro's complete lack of one, and now their hovercraft with cargo deck is going to be infinitely better than Hasbro's complete lack of one.
Then even if True Heroes releases a vehicle for which there is a direct Joe analog, they're readily available year round, right down the street, so it's occasionally tempting to pick one up to supplement the superior Joe stuff.
That's all well and good, and I enjoy a good vehicle regardless of where it comes from too--matter of fact, I went nutso on vehicles from all manufacturers when I first got back into this--but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying, if this hovercraft came from Hasbro, exactly as it is pictured, it's a safe bet there would be a bunch of Joe fans calling it a POS. Hell, back in the GvsC/Spy Troops/VvsV days, many Hasbro vehicles were derisively labeled as "knock-offs" and "Chap Mei." There were even some fans saying the ROCC and Rhino weren't up to snuff. You know that cargo plane, and the submarine in particular, would be found lacking, to put it lightly, if "Hasbro" was on the box. It's just the way it is and I find it funny.
