I think when they release a chameleon figure (baroness's sister?), they are scraping the bottom of the barrel. That would be baroness with a slightly different suit and glasses

Given tht Chameleon is being used in the new Skybound Comics, I wouldn't say she is bottom of the barrel and would probably rank her above Quiver and Glenda in terms of deep cuts.

I think your premise is flawed though: less popular or known characters means they are healthy enough to take risks. You will know the line is in trouble when we get wave after wave of nothing but Snake Eyes, Duke, and Cobra Commander variants.

A good figure design could prove me wrong of course, but I would much rather they dip their toes into the many other sub lines throughout ARAH history.

Before xmas would be great , and i also agree i dont have a strong wanting/desire for anymore TF or PP , but i have them all now and i like building teams , tf already has a nice roster of 9 , nf has 5 , slaughters MM has 4 , ig?s adjacent 1 , i wouldnt mind 4 different types of IG?s the officer like we are getting a classic IG , maybe another heavy IG like in the 30th and then a female IG would be great ..

Also anybody else really want the devilfish , buzzboar & polar battle bear , those are my top small vehicle wants ..

Im dying for some small shit ?

Star Brigade or Eco Warriors. Except Cesspool. He's cool.

How about def & sky patrol or bf3000 , thats its new name ?


I would take figures from all of the above mentioned sub teams ..

It would be hard to say when the line ends , but IMO it would be them offering a repaint of a haslab as a haslab more than twice .. just saying

You are completely correct. When we get snake eyes v26 or cobra commander in camo that's when we're hurting.

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 like the Wolverine at $100. Would be a nice fit as the Wolverine was not that large a vehicle. Plus more Cover Girl.

Towables like the HAL, Whirlwind, MMS seem too simple for the $100. The Cobra HMS and Technoviper already seemed like a reach at $75.

If built with non-working treads and few paint apps, a MOBAT + Steeler almost seems possible at $100. Keeps it simple with only about 5 or 6 cast parts and no electronics. While a little larger footprint than the VAMP, it is the parts-count and paint apps that seem to drive up prices.

Cons against a MOBAT: fan speculation that the Mauler could be the 2025 HasLab and that Lenny may not be satisfied with a stripped down MOBAT.

2025 $100 Joe Vehicle? Probably end up a Triple-T and longshot Wolverine. I would hope for a Snowcat, but $100 does not seem to match the Hasbro pricing model.

Even stripped down to a shell, I don't see the MOBAT anywhere close to a $100 price point. I think the SnowCat is also a reach at that point.

More realistically, I think the Skyhawk, AWE Striker, Armadillo, and maybe the Wolverine are flirting with that price point.

I would like to think a Triple T would come in at around $75. I think it's pretty clear the MMS will hit at $75 as well which is a shame because, after the HMS, I just don't think the value is there for play/display. I am going to buy it, but it's a price point that makes me cringe, even if I try not to complain about cost.

I'd like to see Classified test a $125 or $150 price point to see if we can get things like the SnowCat, ThunderMachine, or Cobra Wolf in the line without needing a HasLab. I feel like those vehicles aren't special enough to need the full HasLab glow up but I do see them as more costly than the VAMP.

But, I usually am wrong on price guessing so who knows?

Do you think that's what they're waiting on to do Wet Suit? I just have a tough time believing we've gotten this far into the line without so much as a mention.

I think the triple t will be $100 like the vamp its bigger than the hms or the mms would be and makes the ferret look small , the thunder machine i would hope to be $100-$125
Snowcat $150
Cobra wolf $125
Wolverine $125
Slugger $125

Armadillo should be $75

Sharc/flak/skyhawk/awestriker i think will be $100 a piece when we do get them ..

Buzzboar/devilfish/polar battle bear & silver mirage/fang should be $50-$60


I may be wrong but for the size and what they are this is what i could come up with ..

Maybe even swappable faces ala MOD Zartan since she was one of many of our girls who could disguise themselves quite well for ops.
