I think the issue is, is that the Vamp is not tiny as you imagine and for a real size comparison we presented the actual vehicle that the toy is based on. You seem to be confusing it with a polaris type vehicle for some odd reason,lol.

I really don't know why you're having a hard time grasping that I'm just speculating on what a VAMP could actually be in real life, given its dimensions and design. Now, if the toy were actually sized like a 1:18 scale LM001 or Humvee, this would all be moot.

GI Joe figures vary in size and build, you cannot even go by that even looking at some of the early 25th figures compared to the later 30th to 50th/Retro gigantor figures we've gotten.
The Vamp jeep toy vehicle is still larger than the AWE Striker dune buggy toy. The AWE is still not properly scaled anyway but thats not really the point. Look, the Vamp is a specialized two seat version of the Lamborghini inspired real world vehicle. It was shortened to carry just the heavy twin Anti-Aircraft/Anti-Personnel guns or anti-tank/AA missile launchers. Those are very specialized vehicles. The AWE in its common variant is just a FAV dune buggy with TOW anti-tank mounted on top. What can be said about the toys and vehicles themselves is that they both are two seaters, and occupy much the same general purpose in the line. That they're fast attack vehicles primarily and you can deploy a few extra troops hitching a ride on a mission. Neither one are supposed to be hummers nor any type infantry troop carrying vehicles(Infantry Squad Vehicle/ISV like a Polaris Dogar) . |

I bet! I'd try to cobble one together, but I don't want to sacrifice a 25th/50th VAMP and/or waste time looking for decent and cheap parts on ebay.
