As a long-time ARAH fan who collected the Vintage line to some extent (back in the day) - was a huge fan of the 25th-Anniversary figures/vehicles - and enjoyed the more recent Retro line as well....I would really like to see a lot more ARAH figures/vehicles re-released in the original 3.75" scale.
Though this is obviously extremely unlikely, on the very off-chance that the 3.75" Retro line makes a come-back & is released as non-exclusives to retail stores, there are a plethora of figures/vehicles they could make - whether or not they've already been re-released in the past or not. I envision something similar to the 2007-2009 25th Anniversary line, which released a lot of great figures/vehicles over a couple of years - and all of these came out @ retail. Here's an initial list of what I would like to see - this first post is focusing on the vehicles. Note I didn't get too crazy here & list any huge vehicles (which would probably only be possible via HasLab), but just listed the moderate/average/small vehicles that I could see sold @ retail: -PAC RATS - small vehicles - never been re-released -Cobra HISS II - never been re-released -VAMP w/Clutch -VAMP II w/Clutch II - Arctic Hiss (re-released) - Water Mocassin (re-released) - Cobra Stinger (re-released) - Ghost Hawk/Sky Hawk (re-released) -Wolverine w/Cover Girl - never been re-released - Cobra C.L.A.W. in the proper scale - though a smaller version of the CLAW was released w/other vehicles in 2007-2008, it was way too small.

To add to my last post, here is initial list of 3.75" ARAH figures I'd like to see re-released (or released for the first time). This is not at all comprehensive:
- Rock 'N Roll V2 (1989 version) - never been re-released - Stalker V2 (1989 version) - never been re-released - Dr. Venom (ARAH Marvel Comics): I've been wanting a a figure of this character since '83. Though there was a G.I. Joe Club exclusive?! that came out in the 200X's, it was tough (if not impossible) to get ahold of for most fans. - Zartan w/color change ability & correctly sized Swamp Skier. -Serpentor w/Air Chariot. There were a couple that came out in the 25th Ann. line, but they were awful. There was another one that came out in a ARAH comic pack from the early/mid 200X's - and that was an excellent & HTF figure. So, this character is way overdue for a re-release. - Outback - Dr. Mindbender - Re-done Spirit w/hawk (the 2008 version wasn't that great) -Iceberg - Short-fuse - Hardball - Chuckles - Zanzibar Drednok w/vehicle - Cobra-La three-pack (yes, I liked these characters, as strange as they were) - Jinx in red ninja uniform (Marvel comics) - Billy in karate uniform, or Ninja uniform (Marvel comics) - never released Last edited by Doctor Venom; 06-30-2022 at 05:45 PM.. |

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I know the chances of this happening are slim to none, but we can hope.

All of the vehicles, and plenty of Cobras to circumvent my "no army building" rule. It's not technically army building if it's not technically the same figure, right?

I dunno what I want. What I don't really want is a full-scale collection...I guess I want, like, a mini-collection. I'm good with just letting it ride, seeing what happens and buying or skipping on a case by case basis. Like, I've already skipped on the CC/Duke set. If they'd been the original toy deco, I'd have gotten them, but the cartoon look just doesn't do it for me when combined with the vintage toy card-art.

I'm glad the Stinger Retro sold out so quickly. Let Hasbro know that Classified isn't everything, and us Old Heads still want the old stuff! My Top 5 (since we have a FANG, HISS and Stinger now) would be Zartan, Serpentor, Night Raven, Rattler, and a Water Moccasin. Obviously, I wouldn't say no to a Terrordrome, but that's more of a Haslab thing.
