Just curious, when did Hasbro say the Data-viper was never tooled?
The last thing I recall was the Q&A, where it was discussed by Hasbro that they couldnt do the Zombie and the Data-viper, so they had to cancel one. The reason stated then was that the Data-viper was going to be a hard fig to package on a card cuz of the drone. Afterwards, it was stated that Hasbro was still trying to work on bringing the figure out to market. General's Joes - Dio-Stories and Figure Reviews Quote:
G.I. Joe Retaliation: Ghost Hawk II w Duke It only has 5 POA, but the sculpt does look similar to the Data Viper. Especially the legs. |

not Wal Mart exclusive wave, just a 30th Anniversary wave that Hasbro had registered UPC's for is obviously canceled.

It was in one of the Q&A's. You'd have to look through all of them to find it though.
General's Joes - Dio-Stories and Figure Reviews Here's the best picture I can find of the GH2 Pilot Duke: G.I. Joe Retaliation: Ghost Hawk II w Duke It only has 5 POA, but the sculpt does look similar to the Data Viper. Especially the legs. I was searching on here and couldnt find a good one...yet! haha.. I will take yalls word on the tooling, cuz I am not gonna go searching for that......but isnt it weird how Hasbro does a double take on the unreleased Joe items....if its not been tooled and they are not gonna tool it, just come out and say so...why play around with the whole packaging issue first.. |

I'm sure we'll get modern Flint somewhere in the Retaliation line. Or right after it. Flint is about to get a ton of exposure due to the film, so they'll certainly be making several figures of him. If not in the movie line than in whatever follows it.
We know the CG and NV are being fit in the Retaliation line. And word has it that Qwinn is being reworked as Sgt. Airborne. So it's not too hard to believe that modern Flint will have a home in the line somewhere. I'd like to see some modern updates of Gung-Ho and Rock and Roll as well. |

Come to think of it, there is an easy way for Hasbro to give us this modern Flint...
Package the figure as a Retaliation Flint figure, but include a swappable head based on DJ Cotrona's likeness. Kill 2 birds in 1 stone like how they did 30th Anniversary Storm Shadow, where you could have him as Modern Storm Shadow or Renegades Storm Shadow. |

Well, it might be that they didn't tool it because it wouldn't fit in a package, so when they said it wasn't coming out because it couldn't fit in a package they were telling the truth. Then when people kept bringing it up in Q&A's asking if they could release it in a different way, then followed up by saying that it wasn't ever tooled, so it's unlikely they would use it.
I don't know it this is actually how it happened, but it would fit. |
