I was up late, and I got to thinking what questions I would ask Hasbro next time out. The following is what i came up with.

1. why no Big Lob figure? I mean he is the only G.I. Joe from the G. I. JOE movie that was not made.
2. How about doing a Fan Choice figure? Like Sparks, Cool Breeze, or Hawk in a wheel chair.
3. How about a Shooter figure with two versions of her. One could be of her in camo uniform with sniper rifle and the other could be of her in dress uniform, that you could get by using your battle points.
4. For comic book three packs the could do the Red Shadows, with Dela Eden, Wilder vaughn, and Arthur kulik
5. For the six packs they could do the Phoenix Guard.
6. The last thing would do like a build-a-playset or vehical. I had in mind when you buy vehicals or figures you could get parts to build a playset. The first playset could be added to the first G. I. Joe Headquarters, sort of like a second level complete with stairs.

well that is just me thinking at 2 am in the morning.

Hm, let's see...

1) Because he's a crappy character.
2) Didn't they do that for a comic pack already? And, like, very few people voted on it?
3) No. Because 1987 proved to us that no one wants to see GIJoes in their dress uniforms.
4) Uhm, no. Those Red Shadows sucked.
5) Using what molds? No figures in 6-packs ever use original molds, except for new heads.
6) That's kind of costly and complicated for a toyline with such a niche demographic (face it, GIJoe isn't exactly the hot thing right now)

I think a build-a-playset or vehicle is a fantastic idea! I don't think it should be something you'd need the original HQ to use, though; something stand-alone would make more sense for fans who don't have the older sets. Playsets along the lines of the old Checkpoint, Cobra Bunker, Outpost Defender, etc, seem ideal for this sort of thing.

I definitely think it would encourage greater sales -- as a Marvel Legends collector, I've bought figures I'd otherwise have passed on like Baron Zemo, Ultimate characters, X-Men: The Last Stand figures... all to get parts for the series' Build-A-Figure. I'm not as much of a Joe completist, especially when I'm just missing a new version of an old character, and I'm betting there's lots more collectors like me who'd get roped in by a modular playset or vehicle.
