Was anything close to a troop carrier ever released during the 25th Anniversary frenzy?

Heck, I'm tempted to buy one of 1:18 scale BRAVO TEAM M-2 Bradley or LAV vehicles.

I don't think so, the biggest 25th ann items were the planes, the ROC PIT came out, but more of a HQ than troop carrier like the apc

I got three and looking to acquire nine more to a complete 12 man squad. I wish they would have reissued the original APC troop carrier/vehicle that could hold a dozen or so figures.

Shouldn't be too hard to pick up a nice vintage one.

Only thing though, it might be a LITTLE small for the new figures. It's a tight fit for the vintage o-ring versions (especially the driver and front passenger seat).

Easy fix for Hasbro though - just retool the troop compartment part, leave the rest as is. I also have the Action Force version (WITH antenna no less!) and it's got an entirely different interior.

I would love different versions of the APC - regular version, armored version (non-canvas back), medical/ambulance version, command version.

I don't know.

Maybe the remaining five figures or the mystery TBD 13th figure will make it worthwhile?

Not digging the Jinx, alot of the hisstank guys seem to like the update though, I don't mind the body, but the head is ugly, looks bald with a wig on.

So when are they gonna show something good?

WELL . . .

I thought TOP SIDE & GRUNT were fine/OK. I can probably use the matching bazooka and backpack w/ shells from the STEEL BRIGADE figure on GRUNT since the items appear to match color wise and I'll re-name GRUNT to ZAP (redux) . . . that is if I sign up for the figure subscription.

SO far I am good with the subscription figures, it will be fun to open up the packages when they come in, 2 new exc figures a month for 6 months sounds awesome to me.

You are to Hasbro, what The Josh is to Sideshow.

Edit: nevermind.....


What... the... .hell....

 

[Mercer]

And that's why Sideshow wins.

 

[thenammagazine]

Yup, looks like a rejected design for Power Rangers Samurai Bandai knockoff.

Definitely my least favorite so far, maybe the artwork on the card will save this for me.

Cool with me, I don't open the small figs anymore so I am definitely easier to please than most, but when it comes to the reg figures I will pick and choose what I like, already passed on the recent Stalker.

dude, the only thing that can SAVE this figure is giving it to a 10 year old, and letting him light it on fire.

She looks like a design that was rejected from Rise of cobra.

Which makes i has a sad... I Like Jinx.


she's a female red ninja. give her a swappable head if you like.

HOW DID THEY MESS THAT UP?!

 

[spazzy]

Well in your eyes, I like my figures without the charred look

Exactly

this is what we should of gotten,but No,everything has to stray away from what was originally good from the start

 

[spazzy]

That looks good, did the original have the Joe logo on her leg? Not liking that, if they could add a swap out head the figure would be much more acceptable.

 

[lerath666]

I thought she did, but looking her up on yojoe.com shows i am mistaken.

did find a valor vs venom version of her, however..
