Lets not give Hasbro any idea now! For all we know, they could be lurking this thread as we speak!?

as sad as it is, we will never see the raven. hasbro is ending the line early next year and gearing up for the movie garbage........as far as im concerned the line is just about dead with all the crappy resolute figures coming out instead of more of the original joes in waves 12 and up.
i traded a bb gun to get my night raven back in 86........

The Night Raven isn't underrated at all! People are just talking about the other stuff because we're just getting them from Target, and the Skystriker is of course just a bit more beloved.
I wouldn't count Hasbro out for classic stuff, though. I bet there will be a few classic vehicles and figures that get released alongside the movie stuff (exclusives, for example) and after the movie stuff is done, they'll go right back to the RAH designs, just like the do with the Star Wars stuff. And that's when the brand might be just popular enough to warrant larger vehicles!

I have a feeling if the movie is going to be a success, we will see a whole lot more original 80's joes re-released for the 25th line. |

i traded a bb gun to get my night raven back in 86........ As for the original, I still have mine and since buying it in 1986 it has always been my favorite. I still remember getting it in the summer of 1986 at the Toy's By Roy store in Metro Center Mall. That summer while on vacation seeing my grandparents in Florida my grandfather gave me $25.00. I knew immediately that it was going to buy the Night Raven. Such an awesome plane. Now I've got to go dig that thing out and fly it around the backyard . . .

Wasn't it leaked that the Night Raven is going to feature rather prominently in the new movie? I was under the assumption that if we weren't going to see a re-release of the original (lost tooling) then we were going to see a completely new and possibly updated tool. I wouldn't be surprised if a new Night Raven is the one of the cornerstone pieces of the movie line.

I have been assuming we'll see a Raven for the movie line and if Hasbro still has the molds, I would guess it will be almost the same as the original. Luckily, I still have my original from when I was a kid and I loved it so much that I took incredible care of it and it is still in near mint condition. Strato-viper was always in the cockpit, so he is in beautiful condition as well. |

I never had a Raven but I always liked the design. I never had a Phantom x-19 either and that is one vehicle that I still want to own. If you want to talk about underated planes, what about the Condor Z-25? Great design and play value with bomb dropping action I still have a Condor in great condition. Plus its compatible with the Modern Era figures so its win/win |
