I stumbled across this on Joe declassifieds .. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!
If this thing wouldve been released id be all over it ... I mean listen to the podcast youll see what I mean. Apparently it was super big like defiant big ... Jeez I miss the eighties and its giant playsets ..... JoeDeclassified.com • View topic - JoeDeclassified:SPEC-OPS PODCAST (JDSO) Heres the podcast link http://jdso.podbean.com/ I cant even describe how much of an amazing addition this would have been to any collection then and now. I mean the fact that it had different levels .. there was so much potential...

Looks like there would have been some re-use of existing parts(like the Flagg missle box) but a cool concept nonetheless.
There are some similarities in features to later playsets too like Cobra Mountain and the ROC Pit.

The only thing missing is a place to insert your Terrordrome.

If you listen to the podcast it goes more in depth THe crane is actually used on the tactical battle platform . and yes the missiles look similar to the flagg ones. its a bit different given sharper angles but im sure production wouldve been easier to just reuse the flaggs missile box.The drop down manned laser cannon looks awfully close to the reissue of the early 90's early 2000 headquarters command center, well maybe just a bit You are correct though lots of similarities.

So this was to be the "Big toy" for 1988 then?
I seem to remember Cobra Island being specifically mentioned on the box for the Warthog? While we're on the subject, when i visited a Hasbro factory here (Ireland) in 1991, the staffer who toured me round the place mentioned something about a toy called the "Command Base" but said it didn't make the cut because it was too big, but that he would show me a pic before i left. Unfotunately, the picture slipped my mind, and he got called away on some other thing. So i never saw the picture. Does anyone know what became of the Command Base? Did it end up as the 1993 headquarters? Last edited by miscreant; 02-28-2012 at 02:24 PM.. |
