Since the Retro line thread in the news/rumors board is pretty busy with actual news about the line, I figure we might as well have a thread about what we personally want to see in the line. Wishes don't have to have a real chance of coming true in the line.
Single pack figures: -Flint: He has to make an appearance eventually -Falcon: Could come in place of Flint, since we didn't get a decent update of him in the "modern" line. That one in the "50th" line was a decent build, but I wasn't crazy about the all black uniform. -Doc: A medic character is vital, could be the 1983 male version or the newer female version that uses part of the Lady Jaye mold -Major Bludd: If he is going to have armor on the right arm, he still needs articulation in it. Maybe put some grenades on the legs to homage the Sonic Fighter version and another optional helmet that has spikes like Battle Corp version. -Viper: Only change I would make to the classic design is full sleeves so no flesh is showing. Plenty of repaint options, like Sonic Fighter Viper (Viper Officer?, and the 1998 Cobra Trooper/Officer designs ("Viper Cadets"). Vehicles/Playsets: -Sky Hawk: Done in a white-ish/silver-ish type color to match the Sky Patrol version or the Sky Striker (I think the vehicle was this color in one of the comic appearances?). Pilot would be another v1 Duke, this time with a better head and correct gear load. -MMS with Hawk: Should be obvious if they have the MMS mold, and easy to get Hawk from the new Stalker/Grunt. -"Fire"Bat: In Rattler blue ideally, with a regular "Air" Viper (just blue where AVAC has red?). -Cobra Battlefield: A small bunker (roughly the size of the main body of the HISS) with three walls and an optional/removable roof. It would be a bit more square/angular compared to the vintage one. Include some targets from like the Rifle Range had (maybe make a target tank/jeep shape). Include Scrap Iron with his missile launcher. If they want to do a carded Scrapper, this one could invert the blues and reds? Bigger vehicle -The Mauler/MOBAT: I think these two could pass sharing a base mold and just remolding some parts like the main cannon and turrets. They don't need to be motorized or have rubber tracks. But the MOBAT could use a bit of an upgrade in figure-carrying capability. An opening/removable part on the front of the vehicle with some very simple seats (basically the figures just lie down in big slots) would suffice. Would have Heavy Metal and Steeler drivers, and the two vehicles could swap color schemes a year or so down the road. This would be roughly fifty USD, similar to the Transformers leader price. +-MWG-+ |

That's a sensible and plausible list. Not sure we'll see a tank, but everything else seems rational. I thought we'd have gotten the Sky Hawk or RAM/Silver Mirage this year, too.

PoC/Ren/30th/Ret/50th molds so we can get the rest of the Concept Vault figures.
Also a Wolverine.

You guys are listing a lot of great choices.
Figures: I listed the versions in parenthesis that I'd prefer they'd use for inspiration although I am also open to new interpretations. I'd also be excited about any new or existing sub teams or themes. I am still deciding on Cobra figures and vehicles. Pursuit of Cobra concept Scarlett Jinx with alternate unmasked head Snake Eyes (1991) Storm Shadow (1992) Cover Girl (1983 Sunbow shorter auburn hair and alternate long blonde hair) Steeler (Sunbow or 1982/1983) Heavy Duty (1991) Mercer (1987) Frostbite (1985) Big Ben (1991) Tundra Ranger Stalker Tunnel Rat Flint (1985) Rampart Dusty (1985 or 1991) & Sandstorm Lt. Falcon (1987) Spearhead & Max Free Fall Alpine (1985) Hit & Run Bombstrike Zarana (1986) Metal Head (1990) Vehicles: Vamp Mark II Cobra Stinger Killer Whale Wolverine Mauler |

Flint
Quick Kick Gung Ho Beach Head Firefly Tomax & Xamot Zartan Baroness with a better face sculpt VAMP/Stinger I would be easily convinced to buy others not on the radar. I wouldn't mind having a chance to buy the Dwight Stall figure (the Hasbro Marvel Legends designer who worked on GI Joe). Last edited by ohtani; 11-10-2021 at 11:15 PM.. |

I still want to see a modern General!
I would also love to see an updated Raven and Stun. |
