Welcome Sgt. Oddball (is that a SW reference?)

Hisstank is a great site, though I'm just a lurker there.

There's some nuts here like me that like SW and GI Joe.

The more GI Joe guys that like realistic looking vehicles the better, then Hasbro might see fit to go down that path. Especially if Resolute continues.

Not that the old toy-like vehicles are bad, but I kinda outgrew them in favor of realistic stuff.

oddball is a sherman tank commander in the movie kellys heroes. he is played by donald sutherland. if you havent viewed it , it is a world war 2 comedy. i am however a big starwars fan also

I think we all have seen that movie quite a few times.

Sorry guys, you need to give up this idea. Hasbro makes toys for kids, designed to sell at marketable prices at major retail. Hasbro is not going to get too far into scale models or realism. Don't pin any hopes here.

While this is absolutely true, they COULD very well compete on the PTE/World Peacekeepers level, size, price point and detail-wise.

They won't though.

Kelly's Heroes. Lucas takes a lot of names like "Commander Cody" (& the Lost Planet Airmen) and "Oddball"

I understand probably no realistic vehicles, but I can dream can't I?

Hasbro did it with the 1/6 line already.

Maybe some updated Resolute vehicles. The HISS tank in the last episode rocks.

This might be a stupid question, how do FOV, BBI, and 21st action figures compare to Joe's? Are the weapons compatible, do the 1 18 figures dwarf them? By the hello...I am new too. I also lurk around on Hiss.tank

Ta-152 · Post by **Ta-152** » Tue May 05, 2009 3:11 pm

Bbi's weapons should be fairly interchangeable with Joes. 21st less so, as they tended to be smaller. They're more or less are all the same height, but in scale terms they're mostly all in the 6' range.
