They had that A-10 mocked up sometime ago and pictures were floating around forever. I think most people (myself included) thought it was going to be in the BBI higher end true scale line (like the F/A-18) rather than the smaller scaled Power Team line. I am kind of glad it wasn't because then I would have had to buy it and try to find room for that giant thing.

I know elite force had a lower end, toy-like A-10, but there is one now available at TRU that is almost near perfect. I think its powerteam. Its made by the same people that made the F-15 TRU exclusive.

The A-10 TRU exclusive was known for about 6 monyhs before it hit retail. I was hoping this same company would give us an F-16 or an F-22.

Yeah, and then I'd have to buy several and attempt to kit-bash a Rattler or two out of them.

Notice I said 'attempt'.

[quote=SolidSnakeEyes]It might be due to names associated with Cobra-La, or something. If it was Don Johnson, then they couldn't even make a Falcon figure, you'd think...and, they have since the 90s...right?


A Lt. Falcon figure wouldn't be a problem, because Hasbro would have exclusive rights to that. If rumors are true, the problem was including the GI Joe movie DVD, because some of the actors would have a financial say in that matter.

Found some high resolution pics of the Mezco 3 3/4" Hellboy toys. They look sweet!

Now they need to make figures from the first movie in the same scale. Kroenen would be a perfect new recruit for Cobra.

FYI, those pictures are of the 7" figure line - not the 3 3/4" line. They are very similiar looking but still different.
