I'm happy for the TF set - but really think it needs to include Frostbite and Skystriker - preferably with Big Brawler and Wreckage. We've already seen an ME Duke, Flint and Wild Bill, so would be nice to avoid those. Dusty, 'Zook or Recondo would round a con set out nicely for me.
I would be quite happy to have these guys up against a re-vamped Headhunters force. I'd quite like to see an homage to the Spytroops era - I think that would work quite nicely.

I would like to see them do something like you mentioned, the Original 82 figures. Sort of a ME verison of that old Stars & Stripes set. Would be perfect for the 50th next year. If nothing else they could just use the cobra island Zap body to save money and remake some of the old Joes with new heads. And dang if it wouldn't be cool to have the first comic cover as the box art. That would be good enough to frame.
Crazy thing is I actyally WANT the S&S repaint. |

I hate TF, so I kinda want it to be them and not worry about acquiring them. Unless they're packed with a cool Cobra force. I know most of the original TF have been done but couldn't they have some characters that haven't been in TF yet? Still, I think they're way too garish for me, and they have no functional purpose (just what specialty role do they serve?). A jungle-camo Joe team would be cool if they weren't in yellow.
I honestly don't know what sub-set/theme of Joes/Cobras I would want. I wasn't really into sub-teams when I was a kid, so I don't have much attachment to them. I had Sky Patrol, but I don't think the Club is going to invest in vacu-metal vehicles. Call me crazy, but Star Brigade could be cool, but I can't see them making that work with existing tooling. I can see Hasbro wanting to do an original 13 set for the anniversary, so I don't think the club will do it. |

50th anniversary? The 12-inch figure will be an homage to the original.
The 3 3/4 figure set should be an update of the Stars 'n' Stripes set - Grunt, Stalker, Breaker, Flash, Snake-Eyes, Zap, and Short-Fuze. For Cobra, Cobra Commander, Cobra Officer x2, and Cobra Trooper x5. Con Exclusives: -H.A.L. with Grand Slam (red pads) -M.M.S. with Hawk -Vehicle Drivers 2-Pack - Clutch and Steeler -KRE-O OG13 -Carded General Flagg

They could always go the Battle Force route too, but I'm not pulling for it.

I would LOVE Cobra-La, but as has been said, tooling is a big issue.
I would also LOVE Eco-Warriors (especially if it means a new Septic Tank!), but the inclusion of Cesspool in FSS2 seems to make this pretty unlikely to me. Why would they include the most obvious Cobra leader for the set in the sub? Makes no sense. Also, not sure how they would handle accessories... they can't give everyone the same Arctic Destro backpack and Sci-Fi helmet. Tiger Force is just awful (though not as bad as Python Patrol). I just don't get ugly repaint series... they would have to be really inventive with that one to make me interested. My guess is if they do it they will have cool Cobra though and I'll have to get it anyway. |

ON my Club survey, I put 1. Tiger Force, 2. some kind of nautical theme, and 3. Eco Warriors. Looks like there's a lot of interest for both TF and EW. I'd love to see both.
I'd like a nautical theme just to get ME Hydro Vipers and Undertow. Some Eel variations would be nice, too.
