That's the same thing I was just going to ask - why no doors? If it's to be true to the original, then it GOTS ta have doors! Otherwise, it just looks like something out of a Mad Max movie (not that that would be a bad thing...)

Its not apparent from a distance, but this new VAMP is one hell of a retool! Some of the details that were indicated by stickers on the original are actual plastic pieces this time around, like the lights, et al.

why the hell doesn't this car have any doors?

The Cobra Stinger w/ driver and the Vamp II (Tan) are most likely to be in the works.

its alright, i dont know what everyone is so excited about with the vamp, why not something cooler like a skystriker for ace, or a rattler for wild weasel.

We'll find out more next month at joecon. I agree with you too, but I think Hasbro is steadily adding larger vehicles to the line. The first vehicles are smaller, and the mass market ones will introduce mid-size vehicles, with the Conquest coming soon after(which at that point will be the biggest), and the Conquest isn't that much smaller than the Skystriker. I love the Skystriker and have constantly asked about it the past few years. If hasbro is ever going to put it out, the time frame between this and next year is the time to do it.
Nearly everyone who bought the Ace vs Wild Weasel comic pack is wondering the exact same thing you do. One thing is for certain, if a Skystriker does come with Ace, we all want a more fighter pilot-esque version, as opposed to the enraged astronaut Wild Bill retool we got in the comic pack. i am curious what they'll put in a case with the conquest though ~ Rattler would have been my guess since they are closer in size, but with the rumor it'll be a TRU exclusive, it'll likely be something else.

as I understand it, the Skystriker mold was lost and would have to be completely recreated ~ a prospect that makes sense (from Hasbro's standpoint) for a $15 vehicle that can be redeco'd 3-4X but may be seen as too big of a risk for a $35-40 vehicle (guestimating price point)
Plus a Skystriker is cheap in comparison. Its also nowhere near as big as people say, in fact, its size is often exaggerated. People often clamor for fan favorite vehicles...most of which are actually the same size if not bigger! Quote:

I think the Rattler is mass market. With the Conquest coming out, presumably as mass market(all original deco so far are mass market), it leaves the size class open for another vehicles. Quote:
it's actually been theorized to be an entirely new mold ~ in an earlier thread someone pointed out all the differences and they were significant to the point that seems to go beyond just being a retool (things like the hood between the fenders being a steeper angle then the original)

were did you hear the conquest was being put out soon? see the way i look at it is that if hasbro is going to make gijoe's again then they should be prepared to make a full on line, like back in the day. i hate how when you go to walmart or taget or TRU they have this little tiny section of joes. back in the day gijoes use to take up a whole ile! i miss those days.
also how did all these molds get lost? i dont understand. the skystriker is my favorite jet along with the night boomer and i would love to see them on shelves again! i would also love to see a cobra stun put out!!! i think hasbro is teasing us putting out a python trooper and tiger force flint, are they going to release the vehicles too? need em' and want em'! |

I'm really excited to get this. The VAMP and Clutch were some of my favorites as a kid, even though I never had them myself. I always ended up playing with my friend's.
