... or something similar, if Hasbro made them?

I was sorting through my boxes of vehicles and started playing around with the Manta and the Swamp Skier. I thought that it would be cool if Hasbro reissued some of these mini-vehicles. I figured that a good way to get them out there was via the Comic Pack and I threw these together.

So my question to you is: would you buy these for (let's say) 11.99 if Hasbro made them? Also, any ideas for different packs?

OB

P.S. These are not real Hasbro products. These aren't for sale. Also, mods, please feels free to move this thread if it is not posted in the right area.

In a word: "LASER BLAST" yeah.

Other ideas might be a Ripcord/parachute pack (issue #45), or a pack with a CLAW in it.

I'd snap those up the second they hit shelves... and probably hit a guy or two on my way through.

Some of them...OH YES!!!!!
I would probably pass on the Manta but would be getting a few of those Snake Armor suits (especially if they came with a Cobra guy instead of Snake Eyes).

That Manta set makes all kinds of sense and I'd get a few. Rock 'n' Roll with a surfboard? OH. HELL. YEAH.

The others are cool too but the SNAKE set might be a bit much for a comic pack. The CLAW would be closer but the SNAKE I think is definitely too big for the comic pack format. Now as a small vehicle pack... :shifty:

Yes,
I love the small vehicles: Flight pods, RAMs, CLAW, JUMP pack with landing pad,

BAT vs PAC RAT, Bat V4 vs PAC RAT, BAT v3 vs PAC RAT

Backblast and air defense.....Flak viper and Cobra air defense

YES! and you should share that idea with Hasbro. That is a real good idea

Post subject:  Re: Would you buy these...
Yes, absolutely!

I can think of litterally DOZENS of little vehicles that would be perfect done this way.

Viper with Trouble Bubble
Grand Slam with JUMP (Pad and all)
Cobra Trooper with SNAKE Armor
Rock N Rock with RAM
Tele-Viper with Surveilance Port
Breaker with Bivouac
BAT with CLAW
Flint with Outpost Defender
Night Watch Trooper with Night Landing

And so on, and so on. . .

The elegance is in the Ideas simplicity,

Which they choose is up to them but I would snatch all that jazz

I think they would go over really well. Vehicles that are bit too small to be released in a vehicle pack, but too big to get released with a single pack figure. Plus a comic book to boot so the kids could see how the vehicle was used back in the day.

Already buying up the comic book packs for those figures I can't get in a single pack so I'd sure buy comic book packs that gave me some cool little vehicles I'm not likely to get anywhere else.

Now if Hasbro would just run with the idea because it's not like they aren't getting enough of my money already :-D

Oh heck yes I would, as long as both the figure and vehicle were new and not repaints!
