Regarding the sizing of the Snow Cat vs HISS. The Classified HISS was certainly sized up from its RAH version. Not just the obvious scale change. But the Classified version was beefed up. Maybe larger to accommodate troops inside and whatnot. I imagine a Classified Snow Cat would be around the same size as the Classified HISS. I don't see it being smaller. The cockpit would presumably fit 2 people inside if consistent with its RAH design, so you're looking at something wider than the HISS. The rear doesn't have to transport troops inside, but its weapon system would be bulkier. They'd likely be roughly the same size. So a Classified Snow Cat would probably have to be a Haslab.

I think a Classified AWE Striker is likely to be in the works. I wonder if it could reduce demand for another run of the VAMP. How many people would prefer an AWE Striker to a VAMP? Or at least be happy with an AWE instead.

I'd love the Polar Bear and will gladly take more snow-based Joes. Since vehicles seem to be packed with figures, I think the Polar Bear could be packed with Iceberg. Iceberg didn't originally come with any accessories other than his gun, so he could be an easy pack-in with the Polar Bear. I also wouldn't mind seeing arctic versions of popular characters like Duke and Snake-Eyes. Was a cool aspect to Pursuit of Cobra.

BLACKTRON. Did you guys do those? Loved those things.

The new Space sets look nice. If they were rendered in blue with yellow clear I'd buy everything they release. Thank God that isn't the case.

Im waiting for the awe striker and hoping they add a trailer hitch and maybe even removable doors/windshield like the stingers doors . TPBB is a top want in the small vehicle category that and the buzzboar ..

Will someone quit reminding me of all of the great vehicles there are ?

This is exactly what I've been thinking myself. The Snow Cat can easily be as large or even slightly larger than the HISS. I would rather the Snow Cat be a Haslab for this reason. I'm sure that they would hit it out of the park.

You know they would kill it and it would have working tracks
headlights
frosty windshield w/wiper
Cool snowpedos
The original has a trailer hitch doesnt . My memories of trailer hitches is foggy as to what did/didnt have one besides the vehicles we already have .. i wish they all would even the stun or the ferret/TP & awe striker among others . Even some motorcycles have trailers !!

The Snowcat is an elite and memorable Joe vehicle.

In my opinion, it's the second most iconic whip for the good guys. (assuming we're talking ground vehicles).

I hope we get it in any form, but I would easily back a Snowcat Haslab.

The more I look at the Joe tanks from back in the day, the more I realize how lame they were. I know a lot of people here would want a Classified tank for the good guys, myself included, but I almost don't want a Mobat or Mauler. Neither were very cool if we're being honest. The Mobat could only hold one figure. (surely a classified version would remedy this...)

If I'm just looking at the list of potential Haslab options for the Joes, I'd much rather have a Snowcat, Warthog, or even a WHALE (I know it would be massive). But those 3 vehicles are far more iconic in my opinion to GIJoe than a lot of the classic tanks.

.

Which is why I am firmly in the camp of just make a good tank and call it whatever Joe name you want.

Nostalgia is important, but it's also ok to fix things from the 80's as well. If you make a good toy, people will support it.

Some of you may recall a seller named "PengWei" listed Gnawgahyde for $22.99 on the Walmart website last month. I had placed an order for two of them and tried to panic-cancel when others pointed out the seller looked sketchy. The order ended up shipping and I got tracking info and today Walmart alerted me that my product was delivered at 1:32 PM. I stepped outside and found exactly zero packages delivered to my house. So I am not exactly sure how a scam like this was pulled off. I even see my address in the tracking. I will have to do some deeper digging.

I’m not trying to defend any potential scammers, but do you think they might have sent the item to a last mile delivery service?
