Does the poor performance of the RoC Night Raven negate the possibility of Hasbro releasing a classic Night Raven? If they gave it the same treatment as the 30th Skystriker, building the mold from scratch, using 3D imaging of vintage Ravens, would you buy it?

I don't seem them going down this road again - particularly not so soon. Heck, they JUST finished clearancing the desert version at Ross. I think they are looking at the Black Dragon Renegades aircraft as the balance for the Sky Striker.

This would be great. Do they still have the mold?

No. Or at least I don't think so. But that's the thing about the Skystriker. It's a new mold based off of 3D imaging of vintage Skystrikers.

The ARAH Night Raven although cool and my favorite jet of all time, probably won't see a re-release...else you would have got something like that. Maybe an Exclusive is in order...but the jet itself is dated and won't fit in with the modern theme. But realistically, the ROC raven was a shadow if that of the original and I'd find it hard to see Hasbro going back to improve on something that the masses feel failed. I'd love to see it happen but I doubt it.

Having it would be awesome and I would buy it. But it would either cost more or they would have to do away with the drone or something else to make up for cost.

I am gonna have to go with B as my final answer: "No! The RoC version was a dud. Doesn't matter how good the new Skystriker is. It ain't coming back." We all want something from the ARAH line brought back just like the Sky Striker. Let's not forget the V.A.M.P., Water Mocassin, Trouble Bubbles, Rattlers, Conquest, Polar Battle Bear, Stinger, R.A.M., and other vehicles during the 25th line. The reality is we aren't always going to get what we want. I still can't believe we got the Sky Striker. Everyone here all 20400+ members on the 'Tank' want something different. For me I would be a happy camper if we got the Killer W.H.A.L.E. but I am not holding my breath on that. G.I. Joe is and never will reach the level it had back in the 80s. I am sure Hasbro would love to bring back some vehicles from back in the days but the harsh realities is Hasbro needs big retailers more than retailers need Hasbro. As long as retailers dictate what they want, we the collectors are pretty much f**ked. Going back to 2008 when the 25th line was just going to be 15-20 figures originaly, we have come a long way and should thank Hasbro what they have gotten us.

I think it depends on how well the Skystriker does. If the Skystriker sells out everywhere and the retailers ask Hasbro for another airplane, then I could see them making the Night Raven, only broken up into pieces like the new Skystriker.
If the Skystriker ends up at Ross, then I would say the chances are very slim. |
