I forgot something:
The US will have its 250th birthday in a few years. Maybe a good way to celebrate would be to do the Stars & Stripes Foreover set again, but this time with the whole OG13, and with those unproduced vintage heads for Zap et al? Or would that be too long to wait? |

I apologise if this has already been covered but as a Brit, I would love to O-ring versions of the vintage action force teams. Red shadows - Z Force etc
I know that a convention did red shadow figures and they looked awesome but there are not many available and they are very expensive on the after market. I would love to see my childhood toys reintroduced as O-ring. the past done in a modern way. There must be an appetite for this if the huge success of the Roboskull mk II kickstarter was anything to go by. Just thinking of troop building a rouge Red Shadow army or loads of Z Force red beret troops to look like the British Parachute regiment. Now that would all be awesome. Before you say "build your own on Marauders" don't forget they don't ship to the UK any more. Retro Action Force in O-Ring ----- FULL FORCE!! |

I've been going through the GI Joe figs by year on Yojoe. I'd love to see all the Sub-teams get re-released (others have said this and I wholeheartedly agree) I think a re-issue of the Night Force line would get a lot of positive reaction from the collector community as those figures are among the most expensive on the aftermarket because they are easily some of the best figures from the whole run.
Tiger Force/Python Patrol would also be nice to revisit. I don't think I have much from the original line for either subteam. I've avoided both because of the issues with the cracked elbows/broken crotch pieces that are prevalent with the figures from both subteams. Same with Slaughter's Marauders - how many broken thumbs must Low Light suffer! I'd also love to see the Cobra Hurricane VTOL re-released. I am afraid to really do much with mine now because I don't want the plastic tabs that keep the wings in place to break (Hasbro could improve on that like they plan to with the Sky Striker). I love that jet though - it doesn't get enough love IMO. +1 for sub-teams. My favorites were always Tiger Force and Battle Force 2000. I love the Vector Jet and Maverick. |

Vapor is an awesome fig. Last time I checked he was around $50 on the aftermarket so for now I have a strato-viper manning the Hurricane. |

I do wish they would take the grenade off Wayne and put a pistol there instead.

If they have the Storm Shadow mold, then will start releasing a Cobra Ninja Viper 3 or 6 pack troop builder or a Satan/Ninja Ku international set 2 pack.

Bobby Vala of Valaverse bought the rights to Action Force, so unfortunately Hasbro won't be making any Action Force. You could try to convince Vala to do AF o-rings, but he seems to be solely focused on 6" and using the Action Force brand as an outlet for his own vision...
