If Hasbro released a GI Joe Chess set, would you prefer a classic set consisting mostly of the original Joes and Cobra characters or a comprehensive set of the most popular characters and/or vehicles developed over the years?
As much as I'd like to see the original 13 in a set, I think it would be more appealing to see the most popular Joes and Cobra characters, and instead of having identical pawns, like Greenshirts or Vipers, each pawn would be an individual Joe/Cobra kneeling with his weapon aimed. The bishops, knights and rooks would also have different positions to identify them as such. Something along the lines of this: GI Joe Side: King - Hawk v2 Queen - Scarlett Bishop - Duke Bishop - Flint Knight - Beach Head Knight - Gung-Ho Rook - Snake Eyes Rook - Stalker Pawn 1 - Snow Job Pawn 2 - Airborne Pawn 3 - Torpedo Pawn 4 - Dusty Pawn 5 - Spirit Pawn 6 - Roadblock Pawn 7 - Recondo Pawn 8 - Shipwreck Cobra Side: King - Cobra Commander Queen - Baroness Bishop - Destro Bishop - Major Bludd Knight - Tomax Knight - Xamot Rook - Storm Shadow Rook - Zartan Pawn 1 - Viper Pawn 2 - Cobra Officer Pawn 3 - Scrap Iron Pawn 4 - Snow Serpent Pawn 5 - Eel Pawn 6 - Firefly Pawn 7 - Crimson Guard Pawn 8 - Tele-Viper |

I LOVE chess; would definitely get a G.I. Joe Chess set... only to look at though not to play with; it would be too confusing to remember who is who and what is what. LOL.
And if Scarlett is Queen than Duke should be Queen. Same with Cobra; if Baroness is Queen than Destro should be King... even though CC makes more sense... not too mention Serpentor. LOL. |

I tried this setup. Makes sense to me with Hawk and CC as Kings, Scarlett and Baroness as Queens and blueshirts and greenshirts as pawns. I need a 25th Anniversary Grunt to replace Doc upfront.

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder if they really did it would they make the pawns all the same like green shirts and regular cobra troopers?

ah... greenshirts & cobra blue's would be ideal for pawns.
or maybe all the pawns would be different joes and all the face characters would be the jugglers... it's a conspiracy, I say..

I would so totally buy this.
I think your idea to have the pawns be specific Joes and different COBRA army builders is smashing, though truth be told if a set like that ever did get made, it's pretty much a guarantee they'd been Greenshirts and COBRA soldiers.

I thought CC would be the queen and Destro would be the king.
I'd like to see Hisstank rooks. |
