Investing in brand new tooling for a vehicle sounds costly, so maybe now is the time for Hasbro to invest in retooling a new Cobra A.S.P. (Assault System Pod) for 2021 to accommodate modern action figures and go well with the H.I.S.S. Tank they recently marketed. (This investment will allow for later reproductions in Crimson, Arctic, or Python Patrol colors.)
Similar to this mock up image my kid made, it could include some sort of Cobra Officer as a newly sculpted figure with a silver Cobra emblem on the chest. I doubt that the new sculpting and articulation would be to the quality of the previous Pursuit of Cobra line, but one could always hope.
So long as the vehicle cockpit is designed to hold these newer action figures, we could always discard the new Cobra Officer figure and replace it with a better figure of our choosing.
I Love the ASP. Got it on my 8th birthday. Don't even need the figure with it. If the vintage one didn't come with a figure, I am not expecting one with it now. I'm more than happy to pay for a 30th Cobra Trooper or nice Officer on vintage card if they release them in the same wave. Great thing about the ASP is that they could rerelease them in both red Sears color scheme and the Python version. Hasbro loves to reuse the molds.
You son did a great job BTW.
