I think the feet paint applications on Jinx alone signal that a Retro revisit is all but in the cards. It's patently obvious they intend to do a skin tone foot and slipper paint app version later

I know there was some debate about the price / value equation between the HMS and the Trouble Bubble. Some fans felt the HMS should have been the same $55 small vehicle price point.
While I'd always prefer to pay less than to pay more, I think this photo clearly demonstrates that the HMS was going to cost a bit more regardless. Last edited by DarkLordMordred; 04-29-2024 at 02:15 PM.. Reason: Removed spam link that sometimes gets added by these free image upload sites |

This bothers me the most. Finally got around to opening my HISS Fire Team last night along with the Techno Viper/HMS and they do not match at all. Close enough as you say and at quick glance, yes they are all red and black, but why they did not make his coloring identical to the Fire Team is beyond me. I know that it doesn't do much but I like the HMS and don't regret getting it.
And yeah the coloring on Techo is just a bizarre choice. I understand that he does better match the HISS Technician, but even then it's the wrong shades of red and gray. He's supposed to be part of the team, but he just really stands out from them to the point he may as well not be part of it. |

So many options and directions they can go. As Emily said in Full Force podcast, the HISS success somewhat became their green light. Same can be said for VAMP too. More Jet Packs are another need/want/desire (outside of Steel Brigade). The Falcon vs Trubble Bubble seems like a fun battle; and the same when/if a FANG or CLAW is made . . . Sky Hawk too. For me, a Dragonfly and a Rattler is not fighting these assets are they? The Serpentor Chariot too. I am thinking with regards to scale of battle. If HISS is fighting the VAMP what is a Trubble Bubble fighting/attacking? So many opportunities and options . . . I digress. |

As some tankers have mentioned, the HMS is a great set, and I'm glad I picked it up. However, it's going to be tough to get excited about a Joe version with the MMS.
Unless the figure included with that set is a real banger, I'll be passing on it. I definitely don't need 2 of these things. I'd rather save the space for other more unique vehicles they might make. |

Which is pretty much the reason I wanted to get Jinx in the first place, break up the dude-man monotony.

All of the RETRO talk has me thinking that I would like RETRO to be more of the ARAH design full on like Duke & Scarlett are. I got them, GUNG HO and BEACH HEAD is on order.
Figures that previously came with vehicles only would be okay as RETRO as well. The TELEVIPER is a great example, so if you didn't want to spend the money on the TRUBBLE BUBBLE, you could still have a TELEVIPER. Same with some of the DELUXE exclusives like MINDBENDER. I don't think they will RETRO a SERPENTOR, but comic shirtless version would be a sure buy for me. The only real troop builder I can think would be great is a COBRA trooper/Officer with the old Webgear. And I really want a red scarf "SCARFACE" version. I also think that most of the new releases are close enough to ARAH that they would not need a RETRO. Airborne, Doc, QK, and some of the others are missing some of the modern updates that would be cool IMO.

If the existence of this gets us classic Hawk with MMS, I'm down for it. In fact I think they only released this HISS team version because they always intended there to be a Joe version. I know a lot of people aren't excited about it, but I LOVE the original line (1982) of figures, vehicles, and accessories. So if that's the only way I can get OG Hawk then so be it.
