G.I. Joe Combat Heroes wave 1, Sting Raider and Ghost Hawk pictures

I am actually think of getting some of those Combat Heroes.  The Serpentor one has that disco "Staying Alive" feeling.  ;D

I really like the Combat Heroes.  I didn't get into the other lines, other than Star Wars - and even that was only to get each of the Bounty Hunters before I stopped.  These ones look alright, though.


And I'm in love with these new vehicles.  The "ghost" hawk looks awesome and that Lift Ticket is pretty much perfect (just hope this means a Tomahawk could be coming).  The Water Moccasin and Copperhead are pretty cool, too...  Nice to have a boat.  A 25th Devilfish would be a nice addition to the line.

The Devilfish I can see being released.  Most of the vehicles released so far are the smaller sized variety. 

As for the Tomahawk, who knows, but I doubt it will be released any time soon.   I guess it will depend whether the Rattler and Conquest sell in the USA as those are the largest vehicles released so far.

In one of the recent Q&As Hasbro said they would not be making any Helicopters, at least not before the movie.

I guess Hasbro doesn't consider the Fang a helicopter  :shifty:

No worries.  If the Fang was the same size as the Dragonfly, it wouldn't have been released either.

Dang!  But maybe that means the Tomahawk or Dragonfly will be in the movie.

Hopefully, we'll see one after.  I used to love that toy  :-[

I'm pretty optimistic that we'll see some great vehicles come out of the movie line (though I doubt they'll resemble the classics.)

I absolutely love the Fang and would very happy to see some sort of Joe counterpart.  I can appreciate that Hasbro is playing it safe by sticking to smaller scale vehicles, but with them hinting at a mass release Rattler and Conquest there is at least a glimmer of hope for larger vehicles in the future.

I sure hope their idea off a mass-release Rattler isn't a Tiger Force painted one.  I liked the Tiger Rat, but c'mon.

Mass release = sigh.  This means a Tiger Rat and a Python Patrol Conquest.
