32) More head & body types of both male and females. Not only would it be good to get new body types; but new modern bodies for some of our favorite G.I. Joe characters that need updates and does not look like we will get anytime soon (..just renamed under the Marauders Task Force brand; but we would all know who some of these characters really are by looking at them): the Baroness, Scarlett, Destro, Dr. Mindbender, Airtight, Doc, Roadblock (..Marauders please give us this "chocolate city" Roadblock concept art-ish figure), Gung-Ho

There's a lot of really, really great suggestions in here. Some seem more feasible than others, but wishlists aren't about feasibility, they're about fun!
I wanna see male and female figures in many, many more color combos and camo patterns. I also want to see figures in existing base colors with different options for armor/trim color...for example, a black base with red painted armor, or an urban ops figure with the option to get it with armor painted the same color as that of the desert ops figure. I'm stoked to see some wild color choices for the base MTF figure coming soon out of the recent Kickstarter campaign, like bright yellow and bright orange. But I find it irksome that the vast majority of the figures all simply have black armor and trim. I second the idea of having CHARACTERS as part of their toy line. These figures are designed for customizers, basically as blank canvases, allowing people to create their own characters as they wish, which is for sure one of the things I find so appealing about the MTF figures. I do think it would be fun, though, to see what kind of characters Marauder and Boss Fight could come up with to fit the play pattern they're going after with this series. And more heads! I know the line is young, but I want more heads of different ethnicities pronto. I don't really need another white guy head, I have plenty of those. :P I hadn't thought of vehicles until someone else mentioned them...that sounds like a complicated proposition, but I'd buy it. I'll buy anything from Marauder at this point. Quote:

G.I. Joe: 50th Anniversary - Destro G.I. Joe 30th Anniversary Airtight The Vals have the parts to make Scarlett and the Baroness (minus the glasses). It will just take some effort in parts selection. This character: looks like it could be made with a Spec Ops Val with an Acid Rain helmet. You'd have to glue on the shoulder pads. Of course, having a bigger Roadblock size body means a whole new buck and new vests to fit the new body. I'd prefer getting a few more parts to fit the current bucks before venturing into new sizes.

Part of the benefit of buying separate pieces is the ability to buy different colored armor. I don't think MJ will get into changing up the trim that much due to inventory concerns. Trying to manage basic black bodies with all the different trim colors is a headache. Compound that by doing it for all the different body colors male and female. It could get ridiculous. Fortunately, the armor trim can be easily painted to your desired color and is placed in a manner that avoids excess wear and tear on your custom paint.
We just got Destro and Airtight from Hasbro and they did a pretty good job on those figures. G.I. Joe: 50th Anniversary - Destro G.I. Joe 30th Anniversary Airtight The Vals have the parts to make Scarlett and the Baroness (minus the glasses). It will just take some effort in parts selection.

33) More Zombies & freaks of nature created in a lab (..Dr. Mindbender). I might be in the minority on this one!

35) Sinister evil villain types! I guess the facial expression & look would have to be captured in action figure form!

One category of items we definitely need but which there doesn't seem to be anything in the offing for yet (apart from the night operating devices that Recon Ops and some of the other Vals will come with) is helmet attachments. All three of the helmets we've got thus far have one or more mounting points but nothing to it there apart from empty brackets.
Also, I know they were offering a Smart Gun as one of the stretch goals, but I'd like to see Marauder-ized back-lamps and motion trackers too. |

Female bun heads
SMG mag pouches chest rig With the Recon Ops and Steady-cam Gunner using Multi-cam colors, maybe we'll see some of the other Multi-cam color combinations. Having a digital camo option would be nice, also.
