No because the answer is rather obvious… Because the line didnt last long enough for them to get to it.

I think this is most accurate, sadly.

What was wrong with the 25th VAMP? The gun & it?s umbilicals is about the only complaint I had. Maybe it was a bit small for the 25th figures. The SDCC MKII re using the gas cans & not the original?s water cans was a bit of a let down.

Nah, they knew exactly how long it was going to last and how many "slots" they had for product because that's the line they sold to Walmart and the deal they worked out. They could've produced a VAMP for the one Joe vehicle slot, and they chose the AWE Striker instead for some reason. I'd say it was because they had just used the AWE mold in the 50th (they seemed to be using molds from the 50th for the bulk of the 50th), except the VAMP mold was also used for the 50th. I'm thinking maybe some Walmart buyer was all "Oh, and make sure a dune buggy is one of the four vehicles. I like dune buggies and so does my son."

I would have loved to have a Walmart Retro Stinger to go with my all black HISS Tank. Would have settled for a VAMP.
Zero interest in AWE Striker or FANG. |

ME figures were 4inch and the tooling for the original vehicles were made for 3 3/4. I think 3 3/4 O-rings instead of ME figures would have opened the vault. New tooling for the original vehicles would have cost a mint (just like the FANG remake).
