WOW! You folks have some good ideas & I hope you think so of mine. I see some of us have the same "wants" on our lists.

Hasbro, LOOK at these. Read each one carefully. Figure out how to accomplish these "wants." This is marketing from the fans. Us saying what we want & how we want it.
Look at how many of us want ACCURATE and FIXED versions of these characters.

A properly sculpted Falcon.
A new Cover-Girl (My favorite female 'JOE by th' way.)
Fixed arms, hands & properly matched parts. (Duke's arms, Roadblock's hands, Major Bludd's legs.)

New characters instead of more repaints, such as the Night-Vipers, Alley-Vipers, Zap, Short-Fuse, Outback (Use the version 1 Snake-Eyes torso with Shipwreck's arms & TWO open hands,) Dr. Venom, Kwinn, Recondo, Jinx, Ripcord, Tunnel Rat.

Like I said, this is free marketing. This is what we want.
Thanks for your time & thanks to all of you who post your top 10 wants.
You all have some GREAT ideas! (Slice & Dice 2-Pack, The Desert Fox, Family or Themed 3-Packs, The Cobra Night Landing [would be perfect with a release of my described "accurate" Firefly])
Keep 'em coming!

1. Falcon with a new sculpt. Gear: Shotgun, comic pack M-16 or Spy Troops M-5, survival knife, backpack.

2. Night-Viper (Make him look right! Don't paint an Armored Cobra Commander green & black & call him Night-Viper, Iron Grenadiers I'm lookin' at YOU!)

3. Cover-Girl (Make her HOT Hasbro, I'm talkin' the most attractive female figure you've ever put out)

4. G.I.*JOE Headquarters (Re-issue of the 1983 Headquarters Command Center)

5. Weapons packs: (M-16s, AK-47s, M-60s, those cool grease guns Tomax & Xamot came with)

6. Metal-Head 1990 version.

7. Dusty (I want his '85 & '91 versions)

8. Hit & Run (Load him up on the gear)

9. Tunnel Rat (Why is he on my list & not out yet?!)

10. Enemy Army Builder 5-Packs:
Blue Shirts: Officer x1 & Trooper x4
Advanced Infantry: Tele-Viper x1 & Viper x4
Iron Grenadiers: Annihilator x1 & Iron Grenadiers x4

Ven. Max.
Thrasher and Thunder machine
Road Pig

Mutt and Junkyard (and an articulated Junkyard)
Wet Suit (in all his neon-orange goodness)
Recondo
Stinger
Horror Show
Fang
JUMP Jet Pack

....the rest are what's already coming
RAM
Vamp
Trouble Bubble

And did I mention Mutt and Junkyard?

1. Fix the Duke arms
2. Fix the Viper hands
3. Re-do Major Bludd with better parts (ie. not a Zartan repaint) and an articulated arm
4. Re-do Baroness with better articulation and a better looking head sculpt in classic black
5. Sgt. Slaughter
6. A new Terrordrome that actually has a way to get back and forth between the levels
7. Thunder Machine
8. WHALE
9. Dragonfly
10. Bring on the obscure characters like Tollbooth, Iceberg, etc.

_________________

1. Being able to find the toys at my local stores.

2. Waves getting to the East Coast faster instead of waiting and waiting.

3. A re-release of the hard to find figures from earlier waves even if we had to order them.

4. Oktober Guard.

5. A five pack of BATs in the original colors.

6. Another mail in figure.

7. New wrists on the Vipers.

8. Vehicle pack characters getting a base to stand on and some equipment, yea I'm looking at you no back pack Televiper.

9. Expanision into good ideas from the later years like Mayday, Ghost Bear, Sand Vipers and other characters that had a cool luck but the poor luck of being released at a bad time for either the toy line or comic book.

10. GI Joe vs Transformers. The cool Prime transforms into a HISS tank and Star Scream transforms into a Night Raven, not this lame AWE Striker transforms into a Duke Mech or the POGO transforms into a Dr. Mindbender Mech business.

add on
water: Eel v1 color x4 & Lamprey x1
Air: Wild Weasel, Strato Viper x2, Air Viper (comic style) x2 or Gyro Viper x2
Arctic: Snow Serpents v1 x4 & Ice Viper x1
Desert: Desert Scorpian x3 & Sand vipers x2
