i think you had some good ideas, so do others it would seem. i didnt like big lob, but i didnt hate him either so i wouldnt mind either way on that. the dress uniform and playset, red shadows and phoenix guard are great ideas imo

I admit, Phoenix Guard would be interesting.

I THOUGHT there was a Big Lob figure but I can't find it on yojoe.com Unless it was under a specific set OR they were just customs I've seen.

Got to disagree with you on this one Jay, but you're pretty much dead on with the rest!

*SNIFF**SNIFF* Do I smell the linger of BattleForce 2000? Anytime you have a "Build a PlaySet or Vehicle" attached with a line it either tells me the line sucks so bad you need a gimmick to sell these crappy figures or the set sucks so bad you had to include it with the figures because it would never sell and you need to deplete the inventory you made before you realized it.

The StarGate was a Perfect Example. I would have NEVER bought those big unposable figures for that price, but throw the pieces of a StarGate in there and Hmmmm, now I'm thinking about it. Know where the figures would have found themselves? On Ebay! Thank God I decided to make my own!

And another problem with that; The "Exclusive " figure syndrome! They Always seem to make one figure that is a mail in or hard to find figure that has the last piece you need to finish the job, and then you're stuck with something like a 95% complete Stragate!

And the last thing is, like BattleForce 2000, the instructions to create the "Fantasy Fortress" are always vague. I have looked at the BluePrints for all 6 vehicles, and tried to assemble that damn thing five times and there are no places for the parts to snap together! They just set there beside each other! WTF? I might as well take the "Core" vehilces from BF 2000 and circle them!

Don't get me wrong, the idea has Merit, but one of three things usually happens; the figures or playset are crappy, You can NEVER complete the set or the set doesn't fit together well!

It's from recent issues of the America's Elite comic; Cobra Commander, in disguise as the President's Chief of Staff, assembled a new elite team to "replace" the Joes. There was something familiar about each of the members of this Phoenix Guard, though, and they all turned out to be Cobra operatives (Firefly, Wild Weasel, Copperhead, Zarana, Scrap-Iron).

It was quite a fun story, and a good way to bring the Commander back into the series -- he'd been busy in his absence...!
