With so many 1/12 vehicles on the shelf, or in the pipeline I’m actually more interested in battle stations than anything else. While I would love to see more vehicles, the thought is upscaled battle stations like Check Point Alpha, the Outpost Defender or the Cobra Bunker are probably more appealing at this point when it comes to displaying figures. I really hope we see a battle station or two in the next year as they would really add to what we have so far.

And from what you've shown, quite the tasteful toy room.

I like this idea a lot. Didn?t the Hasbro Joe team say they decided against things like that because of the space they would take up on a collector?s shelf?

I don?t really understand that when you consider the Dragonfly and Rattler.

They also didn't think there'd even be a market for 1/12 vehicles.

Yeah and at this point I'd just hold off until the line dies or slows down. Hard to redesign a collection room when you're not sure what large items will be coming. It's easier to future proof a display for figures than vehicles.

Thinking about all the Action Man vehicle items of the 1990's I find that rather amusing.
His F1 car is like 4 times the size of the Classified HISS Tank, His Helicopter is half again as big as the Dragonfy. The big ol Orange Action Man HQ 4X4 is about the size a Classified Whale would be.

But then toys were much much cheaper when 12" scale vehicles were a thing.

But also Kenner and Playmates made lots and lots of pretty big vehicles for 5" figures some of which had 4 seats.

I wouldn't be surprised if one could consider New Adventures of He Man vehicles about Classified scale too.

I wonder though maybe the middling sales performance of the Fortnite Motorboat had them concerned about the sale of 6" scaled vehicles & indeed still might have them nervous about water born craft in general.

( I kinda wish that when they make a Water Moccasin the at least consider making a Trailer too) especially if the Trailer is adaptable to other uses.

I just like the idea of it being able to carry around playsets like the LAW or Cobra Surveillance Port or even a couple of Ferrets too.

Her face especially the eyes look more Asian than Jinx's lol

Yeah, if they'd just pushed her eye sockets in deeper it would've made a world of difference.
