What new style sculpt Joes/Cobras would you like?

[sf1378]

When the god awful movie line disappears, Hasbro will hopefully return to making nice new sculpt style figures of classic characters - which would you like to see remade?

Me? I'd like to see a Cobra Astro Viper - I've always had a soft spot for that guy, it was his removable helmet and space pack with blasters and joystick controllers! Same goes for TOXO VIPER version one style, they could do a variant SLUDGE VIPER based on the figure too...and a TELE VIPER, more properly made, with his proper backpack, scanner and tube...

I'd also like to see a Tiger Force Outback made - dunno who else at the moment but am sure if this thread takes off inspiration will arise...over to you guys to chew the cud and ponder.... ;D

aaaak!!! no....never! lets see duke with an orange missile launcher attached to a helmet first...or some pink ninjas...or better yet some soldiers with guns as big as they are...joes are so tough after all!

My vote goes for cool guys like the last wave which had lifeline, sci-fi, and airtight so:

crazy legs
hydro viper

and then alot of the joes that sucked...but redone in normal military colors...like spearhead and max.

They made Crazy Legs, part of the Pursuit of Cobra line. But I'd like to see them redone better. Hydro Viper would make a good one too. Apparently, Hydro Viper may well have started off as a COBRA LA diver but when the cartoon film went to video and the concept to add it into the toyline was aborted he was released as a 'normal' human diver. Original name was Deep Sea Devil or something and he does look very Cobra Laish to me...

I liked Spearhead & Max as a kid. Figures with removable helmets were cool to me. But it didn't sit well on his head - his gun was too big but I liked the colours...

So many I'd love to see, but I'll be the odd man out and just say it: Cobra-La Giftset!!!

I'd also like to see Hydro Viper, now that i think about it he does seem very Cobra Laish, if I remember correctly the file card even said said:- "they're not human anymore!!" I'd like to get a decent Charbroil too, the POC figure wasn't too bad, but, it was just Blow Torch's body and Cobra Commander's head with a helmet on. Another one I always liked was Fast Draw, who there was only ever one version of, I think I was the only one who liked him!

I never followed Joes a second time round (into adulthood that is). They ever make a new Gnawgahyde? He was bad-ass. Know they already did Road Pig, prob'ly Big Boa too, right?

My first Joe was Falcon, and from then til now I've always appreciated his comparative normality.

OMG! i cant stand the figures since the films started. i go to the joecustoms forum and most of those guys always like the film figures. i complain all the time that i want figures that look like the character and not some lame actor from the film, but everyone just sort of
ignores me and then talk about how cool some film figure from the next wave is.

since the film line started i have bought 1 figure that was in the store, that was the monkey wrench figure from some wal mart 2 pack. its amazing, the only figures they make any more that interest me always end up being exclusives usually con exclusives i have to pay too much for.

there were 5 figures i really wanted in the 25th line that didnt get made.
zarana, who is now made as last years sdcc exclusive. would love a better headsculpt.
jinx version 1, who is now this years sdcc exclusive.
thrasher, who is now in the bbts exclusive 7 pack.
zandar, who is now in the bbts exclusive 7 pack. would love a better headsclupt.
covergirl version 1, still waiting.

i had also thought it would be cool if they made these 2.
road pig and zanzibar, both now in the bbts exclusive 7 pack. that zanzibar needs to be redone though altogether.

so i there are some i would still like to get, but mostly i want that VERSION ONE COVERGIRL. and i always welcome some more dreadnoks that fit in with the rest.
