25th Ann. / Modern Joes - What can't you live without?

[pud333]

The 25th anniversary / Modern Joe line has been, IMO, one of the best, if not the best, toy line to come out in a long time. At the current price range, I don't think there is another toy line at this scale that can compete with this line in terms of the most bang for your buck.

I love DCIH, but articulation and accessories are lacking; I like MU, but I'm holding out final judgement on the line until I see more of the Marvel heavy-hitters come out.

That being said, what is the one vintage Joe that has yet to be made into its modern reincarnation (and has yet to be announced) that you absolutely cannot live without?

For me, it's Lifeline. For some reason, Lifeline was a huge standout for me. Now that we're getting the Defence of Cobra Island 7 pack, it pretty much completes the Cobra cast for me. But as far as I'm concerned, my Joes, and this Modern line, is not complete without a new Lifeline.



Any thoughts? You can name more than one if you like.

yeah, of the few early 80's Joes yet to be made to 25th/modern style, Lifeline seems to be the most prominent, I remember him getting a lot of airtime in the cartoon,

I was looking through my '83 list, did they remake a 25th style Covergirl figure yet, and from 1985, Footloose or Airtight, or planning them?

No Covergirl yet. There is an ROC version, and Hasbro has said something about not confusing kids? I dunno. Seems weak considering how many other characters are duplicated. Haven't heard anything for Airtight, but Footloose was mentioned in a Q and A, but nothing much else is known.
