The "25th Anniversary 1982-1987" logo is still on the packaging. Since we're 5 months into 2008, I don't even see why the anniversary logo is even there. The 25th year has come and gone. Having said that, I would have preferred that all of the 1982 figures and characters were covered during the 25A celebration. The bodies for Short-Fuze and Zap already exist, assuming that the Snake-Eyes body would be used. Hasbro only needs to sculpt to new heads and one webgear. With all of the extra Dukes and Cobra Commanders that have been shoved into each wave, the space could have been better spent on different characters.

Well, if it's 25th anniversary of that date range, it'd mean it's valid from 2007 until 2012 shouldn't it?

Their's Cobra figs and Joe figs already with web gear. Maybe its the Bazooka and Mortar launchers that they use that they are waiting for the sculpting on??

I'll play devils advocate here: I think the main reason we havent seen Zap or Short Fuze yet is simple. For the most part, the Original 13 are boring. Bland color, very little character. I'd be willing to bet that the reason we havent seen them yet is because Hasbro has been waiting to put them out as vehicle pack ins or Comic packs. Thats what they've done with the other not so hot characters. Single Pack Single Pack Single Pack 5 pack 5 pack 3 Pack Vehicle Pack Vehicle Pack Vehicle Pack Comic Pack Comic Pack

I also believe that Scrapiron and Quick Kick were roumored as well. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8299 viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7718

If they redid an "Original 13" they probably wouldn't even include a mortar trooper.
