Pretty cool stuff if they are legit

The 3rd one down certainly is. It's the Cobra Gunship with firefly from the movie line.

See the "Bravo" assortment here:

Although it would seem to me that the figures bundled with these vehicles are not correct.

Well from the looks of it we have the following:

1) Movie repaint of the Firebat for the Joes (notice the "extras").  That blue is a nice colour, hope it stays.

2) "FLAK" is actually the Whirlwind, and the figure looks like it could be Recondo but can't really be sure.

3) Movie gunship w/Firefly

4) Sting Raider from the early 2000s.  Looks like the same colours as well.  Interesting to see what, if anything, becomes of this one.  Probably movie related.

5) No idea.  If it was the Mirage, then I could understand, but it looks like a completely new mold and in my opinion not a good mold.

Given that he has some VvV protos in a group here:

I would venture a guess that the sting raider, flak and possibly even the AVAC are old(er) protos, not upcoming product.

i disagree, we have already seen a repaint of a DTC or VvsV venom vehicle or whatever it is, whit the new Ice Saber.

It wouldnt surprise me if the movie pumped out a ton of this stuff as the molds/parts are already made and it will be cheaper to produce.

[Stealth Viper]

I agree that it's possible, but the inclusion on VvV figures in his auctions cast doubt.

i heard from a reliable source this-morning that these vehicles are indeed legit prototypes of upcoming vehicles. When we will see them is unclear, but im sure when they hit there will be no shortage of them.

I really hope that Whirlwind ends up at retail looking good. It's almost surprising it doesn't have missiles that launch out of the machine guns though. That Firebat is totally ruined with the new add ons.

[morgardee]

I thought the Firebat looked alright with the add ons. They don't want it to look too much like the original Fire Bat so this is OK for the new generation of kiddies.

[Kronz]

Fair enough point. I suppose if it makes kids happy and emboldens the Joe franchise with new recruits, I shouldn't complain. One thing though, I am sure my wife would be happy to know Hasbro is refocusing their Joe  product back to the kids, she knows I won't buy them if they aren't like the ones I had growing up.

I'm in China right now, I was at a market a week or so ago and saw a big bag full of 'prototype' 25th stalkers
