Since we all know Hasbro loves reusing parts, especially repaints, what do you feel are their biggest missed opportunities?
Two really stick out to me: Sgt Slaughter's Marauders Roadblock Retaliation Roadblock in Blue I don't know if Hasbro figured a lot of us would just use Retaliation Roadblock as 'The Rock', but having Roadblock v22 with different legs colored like Sgt Slaughter v4 seems like a great way to give people that didn't snag SDCC Sgt Slaughter something of an equivalent for their Sgt Slaughter's Marauders set. Actually, since Sgt Slaughter was never in Marauders colors in Modern, it'd actually give them an in-theme team leader. Iron Grenadiers Baroness Baroness in IG colors She is attached at the hip to Destro as a character, Destro has a faction, but she's never been in that faction. She got a fair different versions in 25th, but never even something passing for IG. It's been done as customs, but Hasbro won't pull that trigger. |

And the abomination known as the POCtread ripper vehicle with the worst joe remake to date: clutch.

The Eaglehawk was a missed opportunity all the way around as the figures can’t even really stay in the vehicle very well.
It looks nice for photography, but for play value, not so much. The PTE Blackhawk can have styrene rods inserted into the floor as foot pegs and the figures stay much better. |

POC styled Stinger Driver. Even the Club could've made one and it would have been super popular.
