2020 is really lining up to be a Go America flag waving year (ala 1984). The trailer of Top Gun is a clear flash to the 2020 bangtime. Hasbro has fully sh@t the bed by not being prepared to take advantage of the shift in the zeitgeist. Oh well, according to Vala, there is only 1 person in the whole company who has any knowledge of Joe, so I guess that is to be expected.

If Hasbro could somehow make 1:18 toys for a Top Gun line, they would make a killing. They have the Tomcat (Skystriker) mold already produced, lots of figure molds from which they could cobble together almost any character. All they would need to do is redo the interior or lengthen the cockpit, a couple new headsculpts, and possibly some new uniforms. Repaint the tomahawk grey and you have some transport choppers. Tool a new helmet and put on the ROC Breaker and you have the flight deck crew ready to go. If nothing else, it would be a good time to rebot GIJoe with the previously mentioned.

Surprised Hasbro didn't get this.
Skystriker and Ace are already perfect At the very least I expect something like from Mattel. Probably a great get for Hotwheels and Air Hogs though if they get the sub license. Last edited by SPECTER; 08-05-2019 at 02:42 AM.. |

Interesting. Jakks Pacific bought Trendmasters. I wonder if they have these Joe scale vehicle molds in their library? I wonder how much it would take to buy/least them? Were the vehicles any good?

I could be misremembering but I believe in the new Top Gun trailer, Tom is appropriately flying an F-18 vice F-14, so not sure the skystriker would be much help. Some accurate figures would be nice.
