Top 5 Vehicles That Would Be Cool for G.I. Joe

See old episodes of Mail Call for this one.

We’ve had the Sea Wolf for the Adventure Team. We need to see something like this again.

Top 5 Animals that Need to be Made in 1/6th Scale
We’ve had some dogs, and lots of miniature apes, along with the cheap plastic animals that dominate many an Adventure Team photostory, but I’m talking about articulated animals done to scale.
1) Elephant
I’d buy a couple if this was released.
2) Gorilla
The pygmy gorilla, either version, just doesn’t cut it for me.
3) Lion
This one would be cool if it came articulated and with a “real” mane.
4) Rhinoceros
5) Okapi
If Joe can pursue yetis, he can go after a discovered “cryptid”

With no gas mask, and special tearing and getting sick action

Think Klinger from M.A.S.H.

Top 5 Figures that Should Be Made
1) Villain Poacher
Comes with rifle, ivory-handled pistol, safari hat with eagle feathers in the hatband, alligator boots, snake-skin belt, and tiger tooth necklace.
2) Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
A good one this time, with articulation… lots of articulation!
3) Frontier Scout
Something that won’t set us back a couple of hundred because the only one out there was made in England in 1973.
4) Die Hard’s John McClane
If they can make tons of James Bonds, how about a John McClane. It could come with stolen machine gun, service pistol, lighter, Twinkies, and, of course, no shoes.
5) Medieval Highland Warrior
Like from Braveheart, but more historically accurate.
