I wanted the equalizer so bad when I was a kid. I only saw the thing ONCE at a Target and it was the only one. It was so rare back then. My mom talked me out of it because it was an open box.

Absolute blasphemy. :P The Joe JUMP pack has even fewer safety features and absolutely zero aerodynamic propoerties-- it makes less sense than the CLAW and rivals the Trouble Bubble and SKy Hawk for being one of the least realistic fight platforms in the line. The CLAW has wings and could at least hint at generating lift. The JUMP, Skyhawk, and TroubleBubble would just straight up kill their pilots.

This is also a reminder that applying physics or internal consistency to G.I. Joe is a fool's errand. In a world with the JUMP and Trouble Bubble, the FANG, CLAW, and the HAVOC's hovercraft make no sense. You just have to shrug and go with it.

That being said, the Firebat is the king of small aerial G.I. Joe vehicles, IMHO. I never had one as a child and I would do crazy things for a Classified Firebat and an awesome AVAC pilot.

Even as one of the more vocal proponents of having the 1982 stuff brought into Classified... there are TONS of better options than the MOBAT. As long as we get Steeler.. the MOBAT is far less important (in my opinion).

The Equalizer and Mauler both being great examples.

As Spidermaniac states, the CLAW or FANG isn't any less realistic than any number of other beloved Joe/Cobra vehicles. My only issue with the Classified CLAW is we already have the Trouble Bubble which fills the same role, so they could have been space out timewise a little better.

Just do the Mauler in green.

I think there's limited appetite for 1/12 tanks so kinda do an amalgamation of the main Joe tanks is probably the right move. The HISS added the troop carrying capability of the HISS 2.

I can never hate on the FANG or JUMP pack because they seem straight lifted from early Bond.

CLAW was stupid. How in the hell do you drop the bomb when it's ABOVE the pilot?

I'd imagine true scale 1/12 tanks might have a good market given the previous smaller 1/12 ones have all sold fairly well overseas.

My OAMCC just got delivered and I am even more excited about him having him in hand. First, I never really paid attention to the packaging in the marketing photos. The packaging is great for this release. I love the cover art. Everything about this set is fun and nostalgic as hell for fans of the movie like myself.
