Thumbs down Opinion on 25th.

I'm disappointed by what has been on offer on the 25th.
When fans asked for vehicles, i'd of hoped Hasbro could of done something a little bit.. well.. different.
This just seems like a complete relaunch, they haven't really done anything yet to impress me.

My wants for 25th vehicles

Default My wants for 25th vehicles

Since I've been a customer of Hasbro for 24 years I would like to see them make SNAKE armor like that used in the first GI Joe Transformers crossover series comic by Image now Devil's Due. I would like to see a Stinger with more firepower, an Awe striker and no Cobra La anything. Would like to see a Stun vehicle that splits in half like the comic version by devil's due. How bout a CH47 Chinook helicopter with some variations to make it GI JOe in woodland camoflauge. The grip on the 25th figures I would like to see improved so they can hold a variety of weapons. Need to have Mainframe with goggles, SCi Fi with green but instead of silver put black where the silver parts of his uniform are. Also must have a Bazooka and Mutt figure with Kevlar helmet and not that black one he has. Must make the complete original October Guard with Daina looking like she did in Yearbook2 by Marvel. A BTR-70 Russian troop carrier like the one in the Yearbook would rule. Footloose and Dusty plus Mercer would be good too.Or how bout a V-22 Osprey tilt rotor troop carrier.What do you guys think?

well Chap Mei has an Osprey and it's HUGE! it's perfect for transporting vehicles and troops, only one problem -- it's rare in the U.S.

I hope Hasbro re-releases the cobra ferrets and stingers. I'm glad the RAM is coming soon with updated paint apps.

Does anyone know if they fixed 25A Gung-Ho?

I thought I read something here or at Hisstank.com or on another forum about 25A Gung-Ho's legs being updated and better than the original 5 pack releases with "floppy-leg syndrome."

I have seen some single cards popping up at retail, and I wonder if anyone can confirm or deny any improvements.

Thanks!

Check this thread out from JBL........

I think you might get some of the info you're searching for. As far as I can remember, there is a fix-or it is fixed.....I kind of stopped reading it after the 2nd page.......

I have one of each loose, and the legs on the single pack GH are working better than the one I got in the 5pack. Also they narrowed the crotch on him.

Thanks. The ability to reasonably sit down and poseability was what I was checking. Those early pictures posted with his leg dangling off the stretcher and Doc indicating there was nothing he could do is what I'm trying to avoid.


Now by the time I get back to the store, they'll probably be cleared out.

Thanks Gen Scarlett and SithViper!

Default old vs new vehicles

just though i would throw these up so everyone can compare the old vehicles vs the new ones. personally i think the only one that stands up to the new 25th would be the trubble bubble, the hiss is close.the old one is first and then the new one.

Thanks for doing this. I didn't realize that Hasbro had done so many mods to 'em. I'm still kinda iffy on the vehicle only because those are the vehicles I'd like or prefer.
