Okay fellow fans,

We have heard via interview in the MC newsletter that the focus this year will be the figures. Times have changed since the nonswivel grip joe figure first emerged 25 years ago. Oil prices, economics, and different wants of the target market.

With that said. Vehicles have always been part of ARAH. Which vehicles do you envision returning?

I see Hasbro starting with low risk(aka small-medium sized) vehicles, and slowly moving bigger.

The bigger question is what can be used?

Here is a list of ARAH vehicles that hasbro has used in recent years that hasbro could possibly bring back to retail:

Recent Years
Dragonfly/Locust
SHARC
HISS I
HISS II
HISS(DTC)
Destro's Dominator
SIlver Mirage
Cobra Rage
Slugger
Man-O-War Submarine
APC
Mega Marine APC
Cobra Mantis
MOBAT
Snow Cat
AWE Striker
VAMP
Skyhawk
Rattler
Conquest X-30
Dreadknok Stun
Dreadknok Cycle
ASP
Moray

Most of the above sans APC/Moray retailed/and could retail for $10-20.:eek:

Vehicles that are popular, but are larger and have molds that might not be accounted for/damaged/unuseable::(

Night Raven
Skystriker
Tomahawk
FLAGG
Defiant Shuttle Complex
Crusader Shuttle
WHALE

Molds that we simply do not know the status of and have heard nothing about::confused:

Ghoststriker X-16
Detonator
Mudfighter
Cobra Condor Z-25
Storm eagle
Mamba
Liquidator
Stiletto
FANG
FANG II
Hurricane VTOL

I could see the Night Rhino/Warthog coming back into play. MC just used the molds...so its readily accessible.

I want them all :(

[apacolypse]

Just please...no more battle blitz's. LOL

[Spirit-Iron_Lun]

a WHALE would be awesome or as CIAD said all of them

[singsingjohnny]

YES! I want a WHALE soooo bad.

You listening up Hasbro?!

[Powerlinx Kupp]

If they re-release the Rattler I could see myself picking up a few. Not a Joe Collector at all, yet... But having a Rattler squadron on the top shelf area of my collection would be major kickass. I always liked the Rattlers and the Pit Vipers as well...

Just looking at images of stuff, I had the X-30 conquest as a kid, wouldn't mind seeing that back out too, but I guess they made a Cobra version of that the Python Conquest, could see myself picking up one of those to go with the other cobra aircrafts.

Especially the Skystriker (my ALL TIME FAV!)

A.W.E. Striker

APC

H.I.S.S. Tank (preference on v1)

Dragonfly/Locust

Silver Mirage

VAMP

Rattler

[The Lord of Steel]

How well does the new figures fit in the old vehicles? Has someone who already has a loose 25th anniv figure checked this?

[General Hawk]

If any vehicles are coming out next year, I'd imagine they would be pretty small ones. It's a pretty widespread report that the retailers were not all that happy with sales for larger scale Joe vehicles (especially considering all of the shelf space they take up) so if we get any vehicles, I'm certain they'll be pretty small and more "managable".
