Another year and another set of vehicles I have absolutely NO connection to. Didn't have a one of these, except the APC and that was the original release... not the re-issue.
For this poll, I'll vote for the Headquarters. None of the vehicles really stands out, to me. The Headquarters looks like it has a lot more going on. Link to Part 2: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...-part-2-a.html

Went with the Parasite, while ugly with orange body and purple everything else, it was Cobras only APC at the time and was a rather cool design

Yeah, toss up for me between the Parasite and HQ. I went with the HQ since I like having a base for several figures and vehicles to hang out in and around.

the barracuda is one of my favorites. when i take a bath i still take one in with me. i think i have two original ones with the flipped colors. i know i have the 00's rerelease with flipped colors.
i never used the seltzer tab. i dont remember if my original one is one of the two blue ones i have or if it's long gone. |

Storm Eagle looks like something that could be in flight today. Rework it to be a serious jet instead of a squirt gun and you have something that could rival the Skystriker for coolness.

I like quite a number of the figures released in 1992. The vehicles, though... I was well out of collecting vehicles by that point unless they came with a figure I wanted, and none of these did.
I worked in a mall in the mid '90s with an FAO Schwarz just down the street a little. I'd pop by there every once in a while. They still had a big G.I. Joe diorama in the center of store set up well into at least 1996. I remember looking at all the unfamiliar vehicles on display and thinking, "Man, Hasbro made a Cobra bulldozer? They really got desperate for ideas at the end, didn't they?" Looking at pictures of them now, though, that's probably the best-looking one of the bunch.

Barracuda - Non-paper stickers at least. I never did much of anything with it.
Earthquake - The spring mortar shells were fun. But yeah, a good ride for Techno-Viper, but that figure was years in the past. Headquarters - I like they kept the steel look that the 1983 set had, but it was odd. It was designed to fold up to be carried by kids so there's a death trap tower. Liquidator - Never had one. Rather basic but it's a squirt gun with limited simplified construction compared to older jets. The yellow part contract with the black better than the yellow does with the gray on the storm eagle. Parasite - Unprotected driver...cobra makes an APC with an exposed driver...of course! Patriot - the 4 little treads make no sense. The big gun is kinda fun. Like the Wolverine, a single operator driver, fires the main weapon...but there's also the AA guns and the driver gun and... Rat - Had a rep for being hollow junk and it is. If they finished the design and made a bottom piece for it, it would be okay. Storm Eagle - I never understood the seat, it was like grooved. Must be a molding things, gotta use as few parts as possible. Too cramped, too. But that a scaling issue. |
