Hit & Run
Wet Suit Torpedo Big Ben Recondo Shipwreck Footloose Definitely more Jungle/Temperate camo (bored of snow and sand); and we need more aquatic troops & vehicles of course |

Major Bludd is in dire need up a POC style update. hes been used so very little in the modern era and always been a crappy repaint of another figure. So Major Bludd is first on the list for me.
The real Ripcord. Between 25th Para-Viper and Ret 3 pack Airborne, the Red Star John Wayne looking Cobra Island half assed Ripcord we've been screwed over three times on perfect modern updates of ARAH Ripcord. It's past time for Hasbro to get it right. I don't care if it's a full on classic ARAH or POC style update. We need a proper update for ARAH Ripcord. Thunder, another figure that got passed over with a very bad ROC release. Make a good update of Thunder and release it with that Captain America tank thing with the big cannon on it and call it a Slugger Mark II. Deep Six and Torpedo, in BDU's not in their diving suits. Hell make it a three pack and toss in Wet-Suit. Sure we got one of him like that in a Con Set. But they could change it easy enough and it would be a perfect three pack. Spirit, Stalker and Tunnel Rat that don't look like racist stereotypes. Lastly Serpentor. Because they just screwed that figure up worse and worse everytime they "updated" it during the 25th run. A POC style themed series based on going around the world to get the DNA to make Serpentor would be a pretty good story with lots of climate themes to use. They could reuse the old bacta tank playset from Starwars as a Dr. Mindbender's lab playset. |

I loved the POC line and the different themes they did but I felt they missed out on the aquatic/oceanic theme. I would have loved to have seen what would have been done to characters like Seal, Deep Six, Eels, stuff like that get the POC treatment.

POC style updates of Tripwire in bomb disposal gear ala "Hurt Locker" and Low-Light in a ghille suit would rock!
I could go for some SeALs in BDUs with boonies hats like the Mission Brazil Wet-Suit. Give me him, Torpedo, and Shipwreck for sure. I think Tracker was a SeAL too. A new Major Bludd would have me happy. |

I'd like to see some more versions of Scarlett, particularly in more tactical type gear a la Retaliation Lady Jaye. Also, concept case Gung-Ho with POC/30th style articulation but with a modernized outfit like he had for Resolute would be great as well.
I'd also like to see a new Dr. Mindbender that's looks more like, well, an actual mad scientist. Yes, I know it's easy custom to make by just slapping a DOCI Mindbender head on a ROC Doctor body (I've made one myself) but it would be nice for Hasbro to give us an official release. And related, I agree with Trigue that anew Serpentor is needed. But while they could keep the "composed of DNA of history's greatest military leaders" back story, he could benefit from a less ridiculous outfit. I'm thinking visually he could retain some elements of his old costume such as the cape and the snake-shaped gauntlets, he could wear some more realistic modern camo bdus and a Kevlar vest, and when charging into battle he could don a tactical helmet like those used by the Retaliation combat ninjas - which I think would also evoke his old outfit as those helmets actually look somewhat snake-like to me. It would be a fusion of the realistic and the fantastic, like Iron Man 3's rendition of the Mandarin .
