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 Last edited by Shin Densetsu; 05-06-2007 at 11:13 PM.. |

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.

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

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".
