well you might be right, just depends on where they where at in production/design.

I just want a new Skystriker made to go along with the 25th line. It could be a copy of the original one from the 80's or a new one looking like the raptor. They would just need to paint it in the same color scheme and call it the Skystriker. I would be happy with either of those two options....or better yet, make the old 80's Skystriker and an all new plane that’s modeled after the raptor. Just give it a different name and different color scheme.

We can put a the Hubble outside the Earth's atmosphere. But the friggin' Sky Striker Mold breaks and it's a no-go. Laughable.

It would look really odd putting F-22 on US Flagg.

First of all I've never owned or even held an orginal Skystriker, so forgive me if I'm wrong here. But what would it matter if Hasbro had the mold anyway, in order to make it able to fit the new G.I. Joes, it would take some serious tweaks right? So why not just make a new mold? Anyway I have always wanted a Skystriker, so I really hope they make a new one.

As I grew up in the age of the FA-18, the F-15 and later the F-16 I always thought the F-14 was ugly, and faulty. I wouldn't buy a Skystriker unless it was really cheep. I'll stick with the Conquest until the movie and toon jets come out.

No, the old Skystriker can still fit 2 anniversary joes in the cockpit.

The YF-23 based Storm Eagle is one of the very last Joe toys that I bought as a kid, and is one of the few vehicles I still have left in one form or another(unfortunately it's missing every single attchment). Too be honest I never cared for it very much, but I always wanted a Skystriker(might have something to do with the fact my Dad was an F-14 pilot) but could never find one. So my vote goes for them remaking the Skystriker in all it's beautiful F-14 glory, :-)
