Something I've noticed, not just with the new Joe vehicles, but with other toy lines, is the ability to interchange parts. One day I wonder if Hasbro will ever modularize a figure, so that one figure can easily have interchangeable parts. It's almost like that now. But I'm thinking more like.. a package with several heads, generic torso, several soft plastic gear, several hands--some opened, closed, etc--several legs, lower legs, etc. Right now the upper torso and lower body are not easy to separate, and the arms are pretty much stuck in the torso. So it's not fully interchangeable from the consumer's perspective.

I don't really see this far fetched. Microman figures, some of them, are highly interchangeable, some are not. They all tend to come with about 10 pairs of additional hands. And of course, Hasbro's all time profitable product, Mister Potatoe Head, is highly interchangeable.
