Just saw on the news, July 15, 2021 is considered the 80th Birthday for Jeep. Wondering why we never got a Joe vehicle modeled after the Jeep (or am I forgetting something). The Vamp was modeled after another vehicle. Later Joe went the Hummer route. But no classic military WWII thru the 80’s military Jeep vehicle. They did in the 12” line.
I remember Eagle Force had a motorized one. It went forward or backwards based on bumper switch. Had the rear mounted 50 cal machine gun. What I wouldn’t have done for a ARAH Joe scale Jeep that seated 3 or 4 with a rear mounted 50 cal machine gun like the Rat Patrol. Would have been a lot of small team mission fun against Cobra in multiple terrains. I would have had to have two of them. |

Now had the Vamp been made 4 door like that pic and held 4 Joes, that would have made 9 year old me very happy.
