What aircraft would you want Hasbro to make next-ANY ERA

I'm quite the opposite, I like it better when the Joe's equipment and uniforms are simular to real military items. as a matter of fact, thats why my collection, aside from a few exeptions, doesn't really go past 1987.

It just kills me to send soldiers into combat with a bright red uniform, or have a pilot fly something without wings (rotary or fixed.)

Yeah I know what you mean...I was referring to Hasbro designing new planes which are realistic but yet not based on any actual aircraft. I had the Ghoststriker back when it was released and compared with BBI's F-16 my Ace or Slipstream would rather pilot BBI's version anyday!

Actually now that I think about it some more I be really happy if Hasbro (or any other company) did a more detailed version of the YF-23 Black Widow II (perhaps with quality, scale and detail like the Night Raven). I really dislike the Storm Eagle version!

I agree, same with me.

B-52 Strato Fortress.

Anything from the X-plane category really.

On real world aircraft, I'd be most interested in a V-22 Osprey inspired craft. Although it would be nice to put a vehicle inside of it that we already have, like the AWE striker, I'd like to have it more handle-able as an aircraft than a playset. If I was in charge (if and when) of doing a Joe Osprey, I'd include a pair of recon bikes (like the RAM) and an ATV. Of course, I don't want an exact Osprey. I would want some changes, maybe an open side with some cannons (like an AC-130). And perhaps small forward pylons with rocket pods.

For a playset, I think a C-130 would be kind of neat.

I would like for the big H to produce either the Osprey or F-117A. However, I do have to agree that if you want to go for detail, other companies such as PTE and BBI would do a better job.

I have just resorted to using and\or scratchbuilding 1:18 (or approximate scale) models for my Joes. I have a nicely scaled F-117A from Testor's that fits Joes in. So all I need to do is make a pilot (probably Raven from the tv episodes).

I like the c-130 idea and the idea of a raptor.

The cobras have the rattler and that is like the a-10 not to mention you can get a f-18 and the warthog from other toy companies.

I would really like to see a hind D for the october guard or one for cobra

For those of you who read the Comics in the begining, do you remember the Cobra helicopter. Kind of looked like a Sykorski sky crane. the first time I remember seeing it was the 1st G.I. joe year book. I load of Tele-vipers in Trouble Bubbles came out of it.

I'd like to see that,
