I would like the O-ring figures to include some Extreme Conditions Packs.
Back in 2008, among my favorite Hasbro products were the internet exclusive Extreme Conditions Packs. There were two of these seven packs, a Desert themed one and an Arctic one. I thoroughly enjoyed them both but preferred the Arctic one over the other. The Desert themed set featured a pair of Desert Infantry inspired Crimson Guard figures, which was nice, but would have been welcomed additions to the Arctic set also. Last winter, HissTank member CavScout added a custom made Arctic themed Crimson Guard trooper to his figures, using some parts from these sets. Inspired by his creativity, I did the same over the summer. Today, as I was posing this figure in the frost outside, I began wondering which other Extreme Conditions themed army builders Hasbro could have made for us, and if we might see similar themed figures in the near future with the Retro O-ring 3.75 inch series, (or even the Classified 6 inch series)?

I wish the club, or Hasbro had used Bulletproof to update or slightly modernize the OG13. I always thought his uniform looked like old school BDU's. They just needed a better, realistic paint job. |

One "tweak" I just thought of is the upper arms to Flash/Grand Slam. When the change was made to swivel, the sculpted pads went away and became just a paint app. I'd like the sculpted pads to return.

Yeah, I’d like a general use Winter Parka Torso/ crotch piece for Joes & Cobras. I’m picturing the Winter HISS with a HISS driver. The HISS driver is the standard head with skirted parka torso in gray or white, parka crotch in the HISS driver red & standard HISS driver legs. Maybe throw in a Cobra Trooper with similar build.
