The Sky Hawk may be pushing it as a $100 vehicle. Maybe include alternate parts (fins, engines, canopy) to make it into various configurations. I can see it as a sub-$100 vehicle as it isn't as beefy as the VAMP. Unless of course, they trick it out a bit with some additional weaponry. Certainly, it'll have some blast effects with it. It's one of my favorite Joe vehicles. If not, my actual favorite. So I'm in for a few of them.

I'd love a Devilfish. And an Armadillo, but I don't see those as $100 vehicles. They'd really have to beef them up to reach that pricepoint. The Fortnite boat was larger than what a Devilfish should be and it was $80 retail. Granted, it didn't come with a figure.

I can see a Wolverine being at the $100 pricepoint. It wasn't very large. Only carried one figure (unless you piled others loosely on for a ride). It's kind of compact and not very complicated. Doesn't need working treads, but those could add to the cost if they make them working. With some creativity, it could be made into an Armadillo. Same body. But weapon system is replaced with a quad-gun. This could be a way for blonde Cover Girl to make it into the line. They've made an apology Falcon; maybe they'll make an apology Cover Girl. I'm personally fine with the Cover Girl we got, but others may appreciate a new (and even blonde) one.

I'm also fine with the Cover Girl we got, but if they do another one give her a bunch of swappable hair pieces. Different colors, styles, etc.

So you want a deluxe cover girl? Cause that would be a deluxe figure

Does a Skyhawk coming in on the heels of the Dragon fly make sense though?

From left to right those are heads from the Female Shield vs. Female Hydra two-pack, Monet St. Croix, Silk, and Valeria Richards.

Thank you!

Yeah, considering Cobra has Trouble Bubbles and coming soon is the CLAW and Rattler. Some people think maybe a Fang.

Ya, and in theory you could make this argument about anything that isnt a boat. We?ve had 4 bikes, 2 ATVs, 2 jeeps, and a tank. That makes for 9 ground vehicles. We?ve had 2 Trouble Bubbles, an Air Charriot, and a forthcoming choppa, rattla, and Claw. That makes for 6 air vehicles.

Unless I?m missing any?

A Skyhawk makes sense to me as a support release to the dragonfly. Goes with the whole airforce type theme. Especially if there?s a ground crew or some other support set coming. Gives people who didnt back the Dragonfly a reason to buy more stuff.

Who would you put in a ground crew? I don't want any generic ground crew types. GIJoe for me is 'best of the best' - fully code-named characters. Not greenshirts.

Lift Ticket will come with the Sky Hawk - I'm convinced.

I say use pilots and Sky Patrol as supplemental air support figures: Windmill, Dogfight, Updraft, Airwave, Altitude, Drop Zone, Sky Dive, Static Line. Characters that otherwise would never make it into Classified.

You make some good points about the potential pricing, but I think these vehicles are all a bit awkward given the existing price points. The Armadillo and Skyhawk don?t feel quite as substantial as the Vamp at $100, but they seem much bigger and more elaborate than the HMS at $75. If they went with moving treads for the Armadillo, that might push it up to $100. I?m perfectly fine with fixed treads at a lower price, but Lenny and team have made the premium feel a priority, so I?m not sure if they would opt for fixed treads or not.

Named characters would be ideal to me. But I could see them going the easy route with a ketchup and mustard type approach with Steel Bridage helmets.

The Full Force have also speculated that mysterious leaked oxygen tank with harness could belong to a fire fighter type figure as part of the 60th / legacy subline. There is also precedent for a Crash Crew figure which could be interesting.

Either way, I would still prefer named figures as generics will get tossed aside to make room for more named characters as space dwindles. Love the idea of using this as an opportunity to get some of the more obscure sky patrol figures.
