Post by: Sundance on June 30, 2012, 10:24:31 AM: that's from the "Concept vault" at Joe Con, Hasbro basically showing off a sh-t load of stuff they've cancelled.

there's pics at HISS Tank, including a sweet Lady Jaye figure based on the 1985 Original, with a SCAR-H rifle, a Flint figure based on the '85 original, some new ninja generic called 'Beast Ninjas' on the filecards behind it, some 'Dark Ninja Master' guy, a GI Joe generic called a 'N.O.M.a.D Warrior' (Naval Military Operations and Development, yeah, I know, that doesn't spell NOMAD) according to the card behind it (basically a generic Navy SEALs squad) and some generic martial arts guy called "Raven Wings" and a load of cacky zombie figures*. and a back-clad Cobra Commander with a CG's head.

*I hate zombies at the best of times, but zombies shouldn't be in GI Joe.

Post by: Sundance on June 30, 2012, 02:52:52 PM: tweets from Generals Joes say some of the stuff from the 'concept vault' may get released yet. the brand manager is also bent on getting the Kwinn figure released and is trying to get the Dollar General figures more widely available.

Post by: Jon S. on June 30, 2012, 02:59:39 PM: I think the zombie set would be a good limited run thing. Unfortunately for us, that means SDCC.

Hammer jeep or the original Dragonfly?

While I would be all over a new Dragonfly, a Hammer is nowhere near iconic enough.

I gather that we will see something mid to big size. My hope would be either a Night Raven (yeah I know) or Whale (again, I know), but honestly it will be something for sure from 82-86.

Based on the last 10 years of releases, I wouldn't be too surprised if we saw the Moray Hydrofoil.

Post by: formbx257 on July 02, 2012, 09:51:53 PM: I like how Hasbro is finally making micro figs again, but they better make compatible vehicles and playsets or they'll end up like Combat Heroes.
Remaking a classic vehicle? I think Hasbro would choose something in a medium size range (at most) for lower retail cost. Maybe a new Thundermachine or STUN?

GeneralsJoes reported that the microfigs will have foot holes sized to modern vehicle pegs, meaning they will have compatible vehicles, they'll just be comically oversized.

Post by: Redmao on July 03, 2012, 02:22:32 PM: While I like the cartoon proportions of the upcoming figures, I think I would like "army men" style micro figures and playsets to create large scale battles without needing two tables.

Post by: Jon S. on July 09, 2012, 12:35:10 PM: General's put up a survey so that you can vote for the zombie figs. Or.. you know... whichever figs you think are the best. Why let someone influence you by using big red letters like that?

It's just information gathering and doesn't guarantee anything, but whatevs. It's something.
