For example: V.A.M.P. Mk. II in that cool digital camouflage. A Stinger based on the above vehicle. Re-release the black HiSS Mk.V. Some Marvel vehicles could make excellent Joe vehicles as well (maybe even with some minor retooling). Iron Man's ATV, Cap's 4x4 and Strikefire for example. Hasbro could get some extra mileage out of these molds for very little investment. Good idea or not? |

The VAMP/Night Landing set sold great. The primary issue is price point. $40-50 sets are not consumer friendly to either casual buyers or the typical penny-pinching Joe fan.
The second issue is not doing homages to the core 1980s ARAH line. VAMP II was an ARAH homage and sold great. The "Basilisk" was just another weird Batman-ized repaint. Give us price points $35 and under and do exact replicas of Sunbow-era vehicles, or repaints that are within '80s canon (Python Patrol, Tiger Force, Crimson Guard, Slaugher's Marauders, Night Force) and they would sell. |

I saw the pics and was like "who's the slim Asian guy" and it turns out it's Stiletto. Hmmm.

But if Hasbro keeps packaging two vehicles and four figures in a set you have to buy (even if you don't want half of it) is not going to move product out the door. Last edited by IC3 VIP3R; 06-21-2016 at 08:28 AM.. |
