Does anyone here have access to the Wheeled Warriors toys, to count the accessory attachment holes?
I've looked at numerous videos and images, but sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a hardpoint and merely where a screw was placed. I wrote to a couple of old fan sites, months (even years) ago, but nobody ever returned my e-mail. (One guy, whom I guess is a somewhat famous toy reviewer, even came out with a video claiming that someone under various names was pestering him about his collection -- right after I wrote to him -- so I suspect he thought I was said person. His mistake, yet my loss.) If anyone's particularly eager, it would also be nice to know the precise weight of each vehicle body (free of wheels and other attachments). But in any case, I need each vehicle's hardpoints -- number, location, and facing, including those reserved for the running gear -- in order to further my free RPG adaptation.

Not to be a sourpuss, but there's a thread above this one with five million views and a hundred thousand replies -- yet across several fora and social media platforms I've been posting for years on a variety of '80s toys and cartoons, offering much and asking little, but have seen pretty much zero interest. If I'm somehow barking up the wrong tree, where in the world *can* I go to find enthusiasts?

In the months since, I've checked more images and videos, but it's still rather hard to distinguish when a hole is for pegs, a screw, or merely decoration -- especially on the bottom of the vehicles, which is so rarely shown. Because it's a free adaptation of the franchise for an RPG, all I can do is offer credit to whom ever manually confirms the number of attachment points on the vehicles. (Of course, I could be barking up the wrong tree by asking for free help, if, say, it's de rigueur to buy one's self a set on eBay -- so please let me know.) |

Your biggest problem here is that this forum is dedicated to 18th-scale action figure lines, which WW wasn't. There simply aren't a lot of guys here that know the answers you seek. The other, even larger issue is that WW is such a niche property there pretty much is no fandom for it at all. There may literally be no person on the planet with access to both the full range of the toys and the time, means, and (frankly speaking) the care to weigh these items for you.
If you want the real answers your best bet absolutely is to buy them yourself. Your smarter move may be to simply not care about the 'proper' amount of hardpoints and just go with your gut. You're extremely unlikely to get any pushback from the hardcore fandom as I don't think it really exists. I'd kill for this line to get rebooted in 18th scale, tho. I've used a couple of the 'evil brains' for customs unrelated to WW and thought them neat. |

yeah no fam. not cool to get mad at people on a gijoe site about not having answers for jason and the wheeled warriors.
i typically hate when people point this out - but you only have 10 posts, 40% is related to jason and the wheeled warriors. i suggest trying your luck on a roblox or fortnite forum. see what you get there. on a serious tone, try m.a.s.k or sky commanders forums. they're in the same scale; but dont expect them to rush to answer your question there either. |
