Hasbro didn't make enough copies of the Vamp to warrant showing up in even a single "drove".

This isn't as easy as it seems, as there is some things that are going to get made anyway (Vamp Repaints/remoulds, Thundermachine and Snowcat) they may very well have been hinting with the Triple T and Stun on figure packaging.
The issue is that a lot of what I would like is more likely to be Snowcat size like the Water Moccasin, Sludge, or Persuader. The AWE Striker is a bit to predictable and also a retread of the mission role of the Vamp anyway - same issue with one of my favs the Desert Fox 6X6 - Lovely as it is, it is just to similar to do right after the Vamp. So I'd say whatever it is it likely should be a Cobra Vehicle. But then when you think of Cobra stuff much of it is a lot smaller like the Snake, FANG, Pogo,& CLAW. But a Firebat or Stellar Stilleto might be possible or the not especially exciting Dreadnok Cycle. The Swamp Smasher is one i'd like but that might be possible to be done a bit cheaper. and as much as I'd like one I am not sure i'd $100 like one. But $75 'sure'. Destro's Despoiler is a a grey area too you'd not really want to sell it for $100 if you can help it so one would hope that would be a $75 release too same for the Badger, Mudbuster, Scorpion and Ice Snake. So rotating back to Gi Joe... A Wolverine I guess is going to be my pick or a Sharc if that is feasible at $100 Price point. I wouldn't say no to a Cobra paralyser tank either.. but that may be somewhat to early to do that. I wouldn't 100% rule out later additions to the brand but those are more things you introduce later to round out a theme rather than do early... Like the later additions to the Cobra Snow theme. But I can see the Wolverine doing good (especially with working treads) & the Firebat's name comes up a lot. I think the Sharc would DO OK.. but maybe not immediately.. a bit later perhaps. I would like a Cobra Stun but I don't want them half-arsing it like they did the Ferret. I'd rather pay more and have it done properly than have a vehicle that isn't fun to play with due to design oversights. |

I feel like if they are making the Despoiler it's be smart to that year have as the Haslab the D.E.M.O.N.
One of the coolest things in Joe as a kid was the ability to combine both to make a big Iron Grenadier command vehicle. |

That was a VERY cool feature to my brothers and me.

I think that the '91 Paralyzer is a great idea. Though I'd hope they cast it in a desert tan rather than orange and it should come with the Desert Scorpion (as depicted on '91 box art). I'd love to see it recast in Green for the Joes as the Sonic Boom tank, too.

Awe Striker has been overplayed. They burnt me out on it over the last 15 years. Crankcase is essential though. Maybe he can come with a Tan Vamp? |

Vehicle Drivers not in the running for me. There were a lot I didn’t like but in order to get a vehicle we kind of HAD to buy the figures. I also stopped buying Joes altogether after 91. The only figure I bought was CG Immortal. In no order: Bazooka Dr Mindbender Scoop Dee-Jay Metal Head Tie: Snake Eyes V4/Cobra Commander V4

Based on the aftermarket for Clutch I think they'd be fine just putting Tan Clutch out there with the MK2.

Would the Fang be too small for a Vamp scale? Definitely what I want most, but considering how thin it is, maybe it can fit better into the Serpentor/HMS scale, at around $70-$80.
Snow Cat is definitely up there then, may be my top choice for a Joe vehicle. Cobra is harder to say, I feel like most Cobra vehicles will either slide into the $50-$80 range, like the Trouble Bubble, the Ferret, the Air Chariot, or in the Haslab tier. We know the Stinger is coming, but I'm not sure of a comparable Cobra sized vehicle for that class. Perhaps the Cobra Moray? |
