Yeah, that would be perfect. I'd love a true Stars and Stripes Forever set the way it should have been done originally. Maybe as the SDCC set next year, so they don't have to dribble those figures out over Pulse a little at a time.

I'm not a big fan of the new heads they used on the comic packs, just because they didn't fit the original aesthetic. But I'd love to see those original heads for Breaker, Zap and Short Fuse.

I'd love a Stars and Stripes set. The set they pitched was much more interesting than what we got. I think if this line ever goes retail, a large multipack would be a great attention getter. Maybe one version for retail and another for exclusives

[edit] Also, I'd love for Steeler to get his unique arms back instead of the ones shared with Wild Bill. Those forearm pockets are neat, but good luck finding unbroken straight-arms on ebay for less than a prince's ransom.

I'd love an all-new Trouble Bubble that's a bit more sturdy than the original, packaged in a vintage-style box. I suspect many of us would buy 5+

That?s one where the Cobra logo on the bubble needs to be a factory application, not some decal. The logos on the jets too.

That would be amazing. Agree 100% with everything said here.

^ Great point. That emblem needs to be identical across all flight pods.

A little flight stand would be great as well if we're talking a definitive release.

Back in 2008, among my favorite Hasbro products were the internet exclusive Extreme Conditions Packs. There were two of these seven packs, a Desert themed one and an Arctic one. I thoroughly enjoyed them both but preferred the Arctic one over the other.



The Desert themed set featured a pair of Desert Infantry inspired Crimson Guard figures, which was nice, but would have been welcomed additions to the Arctic set also.

Last winter, HissTank member CavScout added a custom made Arctic themed Crimson Guard trooper to his figures, using some parts from these sets. Inspired by his creativity, I did the same over the summer.

Today, as I was posing this figure in the frost outside, I began wondering which other Extreme Conditions themed army builders Hasbro could have made for us, and if we might see similar themed figures in the near future with the Retro O-ring 3.75 inch series, (or even the Classified 6 inch series)?

This came out great! Nice work!!

That's the only rationale I can fathom, anyway.

Hey, at least QK had his winter coat on in the movie
