I used to believe that this Walmart Retro line would produce the Cobra Rattler and the Skystriker, but now seeing that some production has shifted from China to Vietnam, I’m uncertain that the tooling can be easily relocated.
Investing in brand new tooling for a vehicle sounds costly, so maybe now is the time for Hasbro to invest in retooling a new Cobra A.S.P. (Assault System Pod) for 2021 to accommodate modern action figures and go well with the H.I.S.S. Tank they recently marketed. (This investment will allow for later reproductions in Crimson, Arctic, or Python Patrol colors.) Similar to this mock up image my kid made, it could include some sort of Cobra Officer as a newly sculpted figure with a silver Cobra emblem on the chest. I doubt that the new sculpting and articulation would be to the quality of the previous Pursuit of Cobra line, but one could always hope. So long as the vehicle cockpit is designed to hold these newer action figures, we could always discard the new Cobra Officer figure and replace it with a better figure of our choosing. You son did a great job BTW.

I'd totally be down with an ASP, several in fact. But my #1 choice would be a Stinger. Never was able to find one at the tale end of the 25th era. My original RAH version needs reinforcements!

This would be awesome, but it wouldn't fit the retro idea.

When has that stopped them? All of these are examples of not being true to the vintage card art:
Retro SE, SS, RB, Duke, LJ (promo pics show black hair, not brown like the art), Fang, and Fang Pilot (it should be a POC CT in CO deco).
