I mean something BRAND new. Not rehashed or a newer version of.....

I mean something never released in joe,.. or even in 1:18th scale, what would it be?


I would really like to see a cobra Space shuttle.

Or a G.I.joe C-10 transport, or the Cobra Cartoon version with the snake head.

A G.I.Jane destroyer or cruiser would be cool.

Something new, you say?

How about a PIT Complex? The original based on the early Marvel run and then the updated renovation from issue #19 on...

Maybe even a PIT II based on the Utah site.

A Broca Beach street front.

As for vehicles, I do have some ideas.

I'd like to see:
-an Arbco Moving Van
-an undercover Cobra or GIJOE surveillance van
-a Cobra troop transport
-a MARS troop transport
-a GIJOE heavy equipment hauler (like the Chap Mei one)
-Cobra Space Shuttle
-GIJOE space fighter (like a X-Wing)
-a bigger SnoCat type vehicle with a bigger crew cabin
-an Oktober Guard 'kremlin kiddie kart'
-the Oktober Guard bigger vehicle from the Annual
-another Oktober Guard armored vehicle (just to mix it up a bit)

Oh. Lord, where to start with something like this!?

Definitely an Oktober Guard vehicle. "Kremlin Kiddie Kart", indeed!

Cobra Transport Copter.

TRADITIONAL-STYLE figures of Pythona, Big Lob, Cool Breeze, and heck, let's throw in the Devil's Due-created Oktober Guard member Ruslan.

I'll have to give this one some further thought. Might need more bandwidth. 8-O :-D :shifty:

Joe: Cargo plane, they used them all the time in the comic

Cobra: Either a Cobra Transport Chopper or just a plain van. If they're supposed too be a Ruthless Terroist Organization they need a sick van

I've always wanted to see a C-130 for the Joes. A true 1:18 scale version would be way too big, but if it were done with that Hasbro skewed scale to make the wingspan smaller, I think it would be a great large vehicle playset. It could have the features of an AC-130U Gunship to give it ground attack capabilities, and it could also carry one or two vehicles.

second that, the joe team needs a real ace.

I always thought ace's codename should have been crash.


If I was getting something new? Cobra temple.

or school bus b.a.t. transport.

That Hasbro "skewed scale" isn't skewed. It's that G.I. Joe's are 3 3/4's scale, not 1:18

F4 Phantom II: Either an early model with a removeable hardpoint mounted cannon, or a later model, with the gun built in. I don't remember which two companies were involved, but one of them had begun tooling, and had an early prototype on display, and the other popped up claiming they had one in the works that would have more features, and cost less. Neither company ever produced one. Even Joescale one, instead of true 1/18 woukd be fine.

Joe specific, give me a Pythona figure. How about Golobulus, with a poseable tail?

Hasbro's Joe vehicles have almost always been underscaled in relation to the figures, with with adjustmensts made, to the crew areas.

Sorry. Meant to edit that into my last post, not make a second one. :whistling:

That's not really what I meant by skewed scale. I probably shouldn't have referenced 1:18 in relation to this. What I'm really talking about is how Hasbro will have the cockpit of a plane in one scale to fit the figures, and then the rest of the vehicle in a smaller scale, to keep the vehicle size from being really big. Its something that becomes obvious when you look at a Dragonfly helicopter compared to a 1:18 21st Century Toys Huey Cobra. The Cobra is way bigger than the Dragonfly, so much so that, to me, its less playable as a toy. However, the cockpits that hold the figures are roughly similar size. Lots of other Hasbro vehicles are like this, even the Skystriker.

Something based on the new MRAP (google it, as it's quite cool!).

A set of civilian figures.

Have to agree with a Pit set and a Cobra shuttle, too.
