1983 GI JOE Headquarters Command Center  

 

ta   funny how the old stuff still looks cool

 

It’s timeless man. Plus the older designers have mentioned that the mindset at Hasbro changed going into the 90’s. The 80’s ARAH stuff is a great example of that. Their creativity back then is stuff of legend.

It still boggles my mind how they saw the X-29 and came up with the Conquest X-30. Or how their interpretation of the SR-71 managed to look even more bad ass. Like Harriers and A-10’s? BAM. Rattler. Add a WWII bomber gunner cockpit just cause.

 

Timeless indeed.

 

I still love this. I had it back in the day but man it was bitch to put together.

 

The vehicles and playsets were like 50% why people bought GI Joe so I hope they either reissue/remake those older molds for the 3.75in figures or they do big ones for the Classified line. I'll take a Classified HISS tank, thank you very much.

 

Ditto.

 

I wonder why he isn't printing these in black.

 

I think that @Shin Densetsu, @Slave IV and myself covered that discussion guys somewhere back in this thread guys. Either it's going to be a 3rd party build or maybe a Haslab product.

 

Those are awesome. I’ve been tempted to do a Classified Cobra De Aco but what weapon would I give him? That Flash rifle may get me to do it.

 

Still very much a work in progress but I got a little work done on my next figure.

 

Point of order: if it came from Haslab, would it not still have the Classified branding?

 

We got a Snowspeeder and a Tie Fighter in the Black Series so a Classified HISS tank is not out of the question. It all depends on popularity and so far, Classified appears to be successful. Hopefully it achieves even greater heights. Besides, it's not like repeat discussions have ever hurt anybody.

Though I think a Classified USS Flagg would be out of the question even as a Haslab project. But you never know.

 

Yeah, I wondered that too.

 

For 6” figures I think a FLAGG would be out of the question. There’s more higher chance getting a Moray scaled for the 6” figures.

 

I'd love a 6" Moray. But yeah, if they did the Flagg, I think they'd stick to the 3.75" scale. Something like the Defiant or Mobile Command Center may fit better into the Haslab idea of size and scale. Or maybe Rolling Thunder? It's hard to say.

 

Defiant almost for sure, I can’t see any current retailer willing to take something like that on. The most they’d probably go for is the Crusader shuttle.

 

I could totally see Hasbro going for HasLab Flagg in 3.75” scale. Collectors would eat it up. Nostalgia alone would push it to the first tier.

 

I don't know, the Flagg would be a tough sell to most Joe collectors. Sure it has the nostalgia factor going for it but I don't think there's enough people that would put a 7 ft aircraft carrier up anymore. Hell,I'd love to see them make the attempt but this is also the same Fandom that said they wanted updated classic vehicles but didn't want to purchase them unless they went on deep discount.
