Was just going through some old, really old boxes and found my Steel Brigade hat and patch. It made me think, how cool would it be if Hasbro offered the Steel Brigade mail in again.
They could even put a little twist on it, to keep it separate from the original. Make it part of one of the subgroups. Tiger Force, Night Force or even Slaughter's Marauders. |

I doubt Hasbro will re-release Steel Brigade since I think Bobby Vala snatched the trademark/copyright whatevers when Hasbro wasn't being vigilant.

I’ve been thinking about what my specific requests would be, as far as repros:
Joes (Snake Eyes 83, swivel arm, already accounted for) Snake Eyes and Timber, 85 Scarlett, 83 with swivel arm Stalker, 83 with swivel arm Duke, 83 mailaway WITH FLAG STICKER or tampo Gung Ho, 83 Roadblock, 84 and then 86 Flint, 85 Lady Jaye, 85 Shipwreck, 85 Gen Hawk, 86 Beach Head, 86 Falcon, 87 Cobra and affiliates Cobra Commander, mailaway 83 Cobra Soldier, 83 swivel arm Cobra Officer, 83 swivel arm Destro, 83 Baroness, 84 Zartan, 84, carded this time, with fixed leg pouches maybe? or an extra set in case lost? Firefly, 84 (Storm Shadow 84, already accounted for) Crimson Guard, 85 Snow Serpent, 85 Eels, 85 Mindbender, 86 with cape, cape needs sigil BAT, 86, needs lenticular decal. don’t try to paper sticker us on this! Viper, 86, needs original pants and original paint, not Viper Pit style Joe vehicles G.I. Joe headquarters, 83 reissue or new Sunbow style version Mobat, maybe in dark green this time? Mauler, with engineering fix on those tow cables, some extras for replacing vintage ones Vamps in different greens or camos Wolverine with Cover Girl Devil fish Hammer jeep!!! Hiss tanks Original Hiss with o-ring hiss driver, but wait awhile as pretty similar to recent offerings Blue-on-blue camo hiss tank with Rip It Arctic camo Hiss tank with arctic colored hiss driver, skis and snow shoe mounts BLACK HISS with RED TRANSPARENCY Hiss tank with Wolverine style missile launcher on turret Hiss 2, in black, still with red transparency other Cobra vehicles Stinger jeeps in different colors, maybe arctic white/black/gray like urban camo Moray!!!!! Rattler Gliders that are Sunbow proportioned and durable (Joe glider too) CLAW Serpentor and Air Chariot, including cape! maybe some more realistic motorcycles for the Dreadnoks ? |

they should take a page out of the book from when they started the 2 pack line. for every one figure that's not duke or snake eyes, they should have 5 dukes and 5 snake eyes.
and then they should have snake eyes centric waves. there's already 6 figures and only one snake eyes and no dukes? are they even working right now? |

They *did* flood the market, like 4 years ago, but that has now dried up. If you want a Black Major Steel Brigade in original colors, it'll run you like $60.

Have to say I?m not that happy with the plastic quality of Black Major figures though. I appreciate they exist, because not one else was making o-rings, but the plastic just feels really light and cheap.

If they do end up going the complete repro route, then I personally would like them to target figures that are near impossible to find (at a decent price) on the after market. Specifically, I would like the UK Tiger Force figures. Here is a list of other harder to find figures that I think would make good options in that regard:
84 Zartan 85 Keel Haul 86 Viper 86 Serpentor 86 Mission Brazil Set 87 Payload Steel Brigade (both silver AND Gold mask) All the night Force figures Slaughter's Marauders (with better thumbs and crotches) All the Python Patrol Figures Ninja Viper 90 Vapor 90 Decimator 90 Cold Front 91 Desert Scorpion 93 Dino Hunter Ambush 93 Battle Copter Interrogator Also, the hard to find UK figures like Gaucho, Red Jackal, Red Laser, etc and the hard to find Brazil & Argentina figures If they want to reissue the popular yet easy to find figures, that's fine, but they better make sure they're popular. If they flood the market with V1 Psych Out or Scoop, this line will be over before it begins.
