Any and all.
I'm a huge playset fan....so I'd be happy with any re-releases...or new playsets.

I don't need anything big:
the mini playsets from 84-85 TTBP or something like it |

*merged threads since they were similar in nature*
The terrordome would be awesome. If they do an updated one(all new mold) they can make it modular, so you can keep attaching as many pieces as you like. So you can start off with a big terrordome, and end up with a HUGE one. For the brilliance of modular playsets in joe scale, check out Card inc.'s Harry Potter playsets in the new Tomart's magazine; a shining example of why joe scale is ideal for vehicles and playsets. I wouldn't mind seeing the Spytroops cobra mountain playset, and the 2nd gijoe hq. |

The original vehicles had good proportions compared to more recent ones. For example, 1 look at the skystriker you see a well fighter plane unmistakenly based on the F-14. With the Rattler you see a well proportioned derivative of the A-10. The cockpits may have been roomier on the toys for the sake of fitting gijoe figures inside, but nothing else is sacrificed, everything else is still in proportion. The original vehicles were almost never to scale with the figures, they were usually underscaled, but nonetheless, none of them had bloated proportions. Everything resembled their real life counterparts well until you hit the cockpit interiors, but this is understandable and still kept vehicles at a great size for playing. Compare this to the Thunderwing. It looks like a bloated F-22. Would it be this way without the electronic gimmick? probably not. So the skystriker had better proportions and more closely resembled its real life counterpart far more than the thunderwing did. The ghost striker exceled at this too. Even the Liquidator, as small as it was. So thats what I'd want in updated vehicles. Vehicles with good proportions, proportionate to their real life counterparts and no bloatedness, yet enough room for a joe figure to sit in. The skystriker was a shining example of how this was possible. In fact, if you didn't see the joe figures in cockpit, it would just be a regular F-14 toy with realistic proportions! One cannot say the same for the Thunderwing. The thunderwing is fun, but its built from a different premise, one that might not appeal to us older folks. As a matter of fact, its my opinion that joe strayed away from this formula after the NAC was made in 2002. After that we got a bloated HISS, chubby ground vehicles and the chubby/squashed Skysweeper. With the skysweeper it was more like "okay we are going to make a F-117 deformed around a gijoe, rather than make a proportionate F-117 and scoop out enough room in the cockpit for him". See what I mean? Compare the X-30 Conquest to the skysweeper. Big difference. The DTC vehicles were a step in the right direction and since this year leading to next is our year, I hope the ARAH direction of well proportioned vehicles prevails in an updated form. "I'd take a reissue skystriker, and an updated Skystriker based on an F-14!" Add to that, I want a Solar Stiletto, that cobra spaceship from the late 80's. Storm Eagle(Small but not bloated and out of proportion looking, looks more like a YF-23 than the thunderwing looks like the F-22) Liquidator |
