As I said before, Hasbro is trying to recoup costs on this 25thA endeavor of theirs. They are following the SW idealogy of doing mass Cobra Troops; same buck model, different variations. That's been stated by the guys at Hasbro at both ToyFair and SDCon.

Now, we all know that none of these figures will fit in vehicles but Hasbro has said that if the singles do well enough, they will do vehicles. And you can probably assume (safely or not) that the Big H will do NEW vehicles in the old style. Hopefully that means we won't get a repainted JvC Brawler w/ a 4-rocket racket on the back.


That reminds me... iirc, the boyz at Hasbro said that the 5-packs would be used for mad repaints and variations whereas they will push the single packs with actual characters. Which is why we'll see Zartan and Shipwreck in singles not 5-packs. And if you REALLY think about it, there ARE 3 army builders in that upcoming 5-pack. I wouldn't mind getting word of what the 2nd Joe 5'r will be.
