What happend , hasbro forgot about gunho , crimson twins , air tight , quick kick , cover girl , falcon , doc come on theres more characters that will kick ass with a new head design ...

Considering they cancelled DTC's fourth wave of single-pack figures to make way for the 25th anniversary crap, wouldn't surprise me if comic packs are on indefinite hiatus too.

Besides, the molds for Gung-Ho, Doc, Falcon and Cover Girl have been lost for over a decade (Doc's mold was lost BEFORE 1988! ) so I wouldn't expect comic pack figures for them anyway.

Hasbro would make a killing if they did 3 packs with the original 13 Joes in a darker, more realistic green version. I.E. Flash, Grunt, Doc, etc. Just an idea Hasbro.

Once again, the mold for Doc has been lost since the mid-80s, and Flash's mold has gone AWOL too, why do you think he got left out of the Stars & Stripes Forever set in 1997 and the dead Breaker took his place?

WTF?!?!?!?! Why do they keep the most obsure, ridiculous crap around & lose or misplace things that would actually make money??



Aaaahhhh yes----because that would make sense...........

I'm curious as to how the Doc, Falcon, GH, and Cover Girl molds were lost, do you have any more info on this? I know that the V1 Cobra Commander, V2 SE, and some others supposedly went down in a ship, but I haven't heard about those others.

Doc was lost for years. He shared his waist and arms with Duke, and when time came to release Tiger Force Duke in 1988, the Doc mold was gone, supposedly lost in South America. So Hasbro had to make due using Hit'N'Run arms and a Cobra Trooper waist.
Falcon's lower body was lost when Battle Corps Leatherneck's lower body was lost. I heard that after his 2003 release, the upper body mold was lost as well. Either way, it's no big loss as the v1 Falcon is still the perfect representation of the character.
Gung-Ho's mold was supposedly lost after his 1997 re-release. His lower arms and his waist survived through the 1997-AntiVenom-HAS-ComicPack Duke mold, but other than that...
Cover Girl, much like Doc, lost her mold loooong ago in South America.

You'd think Hasbro would have insured the molds because they are a money maker. DUH!!

Uh...huh.... I have no idea what the hell you meant.

Another thing you guys should consider. It costs a LOT of money to remake a mold. A lot! Hasbro's better off financially finding replacement parts instead.... they just need to put more thought into their replacement parts, IMO.
