Title: What would you like to see for the 30th?
Post by: canprime on February 20, 2011, 07:44:35 PM
So Hasbro has said they have a plan of 30 for the 30th.  They were not specific about what that meant, but the common guess is that it is a combination of figures and vehicles.  Or at least that is the premise I am basing this thread on.

So we have what so far? 

Skystriker w/Ace (new molds)
New Stalker
Sci Fi
Storm Shadow (new mold)

That is 4 or 5 depending on what Hasbro wants to count them as against the 30.

So what/who else would you like to see fill out the 30?  Some people have been suggesting covering most lines since ARAH such as Extreme, Sigma Six, VvsV, etc.  in 3 3/4" size.  I think there is still enough not done from the ARAH era to fill out the 3oth line.

Here are my choices, mostly figures:


Wolverine w/Cover Girl
Ferret
Silver Mirage
Night Boomer (Skystriker repaint)
Thunder machine w/Thrasher
Havoc w/ Cross Country

DREAM but probably won't ever happen:  Terrordrome

Duke (a better version of the original, get rid of those arms!!!)
Alpine on a single card
Dusty on a single card with better camo design
Scarlett (new body design)
Baroness (new body design)
Cartoon accurate Gung Ho
Steeler with proper accessories
Airtight
Footloose
Frostbite
Tollbooth
Jinx
Lifeline
Zandar
Road Pig
Law & Order

This would begin 31 and on:

Crystal Ball
Psyche Out
Fast Draw
Iceberg

No in all seriousness... I think canprime's list is really good.

Guessing from what we have seen so far, I think Hasbro's plan is not to redo figs in the new style, but to update classic looks.

Bring on Rock'N'Roll and Lt. Falcon.

30 playsets, that when combined, form the Terror Drome or Flagg. (Or newer - larger Joe HQ).

The Rawhides, particularly Big Lob and the whole Cobra-La gang was requested so many times. Sadly, the only items that we got were Tunnel Rat, Chuckles and Lt.Falcon and Nemesis Immortal.

We can keep asking for these but I have a feeling that these will not be entirely  rendered in plastic even when Hasbro is done doing everyone of the original run. Hasbro has managed to avoid so far any reference with Gi joe the movie until last year, when the Sunbow movie was released on DVD/blue ray, so who knows, maybe the tide is already turning. It would nice to find out if the Sunbow movie DVD sales have been good for Hasbro... but this is something that can be discussed in another thread.

I'd really like a new Lt Falcon. The 25a edition was more than disappointing.

We are already getting a techno viper in POC ;)  But I really want a new Stun and Terror Drome as well.  Id like a pure Night Viper as well, the Jungle Viper is close but it just isn't the Night Viper.  Saw Viper, Frag Viper, or even a toxo-viper

Hey Neo,

I thought the new Hazard Viper was a Toxo Viper?  Or am I getting my Joe knowledge mixed up?
Title: Re: What would you like to see for the 30th?

personally I'd love to see some figures in their respective service/dress uniforms that you could customize with decals and such. That to me would be very cool.

I'm surprised they haven't done the Cobra STUN.  They have the mold from one of the 2004 JOECON souvenirs.

hmmm I guess in spirit it is, but it doesnt really look anything like the toxo-viper nor does he have the same color scheme which is purple and teal.  Though the Hazard viper would be pretty cool to mix with the toxo. :)

My ultimate wish is that they bring back o-ring style fig  8)

Now, in a more realistic mode, I would like to see:

Yes, I like to get the same thing again, again and again with colour variation  ;D

I think it would actually be cool to see them do at least one figure and vehicle from
each of the Gi Joe cartoons from 1982 to present. Afterall, it's supposed to be a
celebration of 30 years of Gi Joe, not just ARAH.

Actually the 30 years is for ARAH.  2014 will be the 50 year Anniversary for GI Joe as the Whole.

Sorry but you have to wait another 28 years or something like that if you want 30th anniversary figures from Gi joe Resolute per instance LOL, just kidding of course.

Regardless, Bulman66 has raised a good point.

Personnally, I don't care if Hasbro brings in new character designs from recent cartoon/comic book/podcasts universes for the 30th of Gi joe, as long as the old school ARAH packaging is brought back for the special occasion. With the 25th, they did alot of cool things such as Flint in Cobra uniform, Glenda, Wraith, etc.It would be neat if Hasbro could pull a similar feat again.

I mainly want them to fill the holes from the 25th line from 1982-1986. Beyond 86, there's only a few figures here and there. But I REALLY want Kwinn (summer outfit, then winter), Dr. Venom, Billy, October Guard and the Nam LRRP team.
Vehicles, I'm actually fine if they don't get to any more. But there are a couple I would like. A Tomahawk would be nice.

a re-release of the original 82 line would be kewl, but a terrordrome or flagg would be even better!

A boxset of the "Original Action Team"  like they did in '94 with the 5 "original" Joes: Action soldier, pilot, sailor, marine and astronaut done in the PoC style body. I'd love to have the original scar faced noggin in different hair color in tht style of figure.

Nice checklist, though this isn't really the 30th checklist. The few figures at the end of 2011 are just the beginning of the 30 for 30 from what I understand. The 30th anniversary doesn't happen til 2012, afterall.

I'd like a mauler (they could even just use the same heavy metal from the rhino)
or a rolling thunder myself for vehicles.
I would expect we'd get at a minimum of at least 10 slots being filled with duke, SE, SS, CC, Destro  :P
