GI Joe Humvees

[lancelot]

so as we all probably know, there have been a few Hasbro made Humvees made in the past, like the Hammer and it's 2002 re-release the "Brawler", the VvV Humvees, and the DTC Humvee. I'm curious to find out if the modern style figures would easily fit in them or not because these vehicles were released during the last O-ring generations.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

They do fit pretty good. I'll try to take a few pictures tomorrow. I have the DTC one or whatever the black one is.

 

[xhairs]

yes they fit fine.

 

[Akunin]

Here's mine with my shock troopers

 

[lancelot]

that looks excellent. What's the average price of hasbro hummers on the internetz these days? I bet it's rather high.

About a week ago, A night ops hummer went for 44 plus shipping. It was a buy it now. I would say they should be about 30-40.

It's the kind of shit Hasbro should releasing/reissuing.

Oh, I agree! Along with the Hiss from that line. Probably my Favorite hiss design.

I think that H.I.S.S., 20% larger and with working treads would be pretty damn awesome.

At the very least as an APC.

 

[snakeling]

Might be nice to lose the glass canopy and go with something armored.

I have the camo one that I may be willing to part with. Has the TOW launcher on top

I'm sure some segment of the community would bitch to high heaven about that.

It would be fine with me if they did it, but as it would most assuredly need to be repainted anyway painting the glass wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience.

 

[snakeling]

Well I still wanna see the resolute one on the shelves. That takes care of the problems of the OG V2,3,4 etc. But that wont happen.

 

[K-Tiger]

Nope. Though that's definitely the one I lobbied for.

 

[lancelot]

well with the new movie next year there's always a flicker of hope that a Humvee would be reissued, but considering Hasbros record over the past half decade I certainly wouldn't hold my breath. They'll probably make new molds of more small vehicles with odd proportions.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

I think they still have those molds from the old Humvees.

 

[Akunin]

I think its a licence issue since it uses the Humvee name, could be expired or owe more royalties to re-issue the vehicles. Way better than that vamp that just came out. yeeesh, I can't stand it. I only got one for the Delta fig. Love these humvee's though

The trouble is they will add spring loaded weapons and make bright pink one of the primary colors. Then charge $40 plus for it. Not to mention probably a good chance of another snake eyes or duke tossed in.

That is something to consider about the Humvees. I like the Vamps, and I'm quite fond of the one I have, but if I'm paying 20+ dollars for a vehicle, a Humvee would be cooler.

I never knew they made Humvees. That one Akunin posted is enough to make me buy a number of them instead of pte or 21rst Century.

How dumb is Hasbro?! Lost sales for sure.

 

[Slaymaker]

I bought my boys each the night ops one for $5.00 a piece when Hasbrotoyshop was blowing them out...I wish I would have bought a bunch more...

 

[K-Tiger]

Personally It's not that I like the Humvee better than 21st or Bbi, but I really like the turret ring and ammo can, and the weapon mount on the bed rail is great, too.

I'm with you. The others may have more realistic detail and configuration, but with the way Hasbro's is, it makes for a better base to customize or utilalize.

 

[Slaymaker]

Yep - the DTC HISS tanks and Humvees were $5. The ROCC was like $13 and the RHINO was around $8. I got one of each for my boys for Christmas that year...

 

[Wild weasel]

of course I only got one of the night ops humvees and decided I wanted like 20 medi vipers at $1.49 each, shoulda army built the humvee

 

[Akunin]

fuck my life!!!!!!!!!

?

and I thought when someone said "fuck me running" would be hard to do!

Thought I would throw a few more in there. I'm still waiting for Blood to post some pics... been waiting to see his all decked out

 

[Rick]

You tease!!

Thanks for the link. Really confused as to why this isn't re-released??? To realistic maybe for Hasbro.

you mean the dtc one right as i love that one and wish i army bulid them when they where 5 a pop but i only got 2 lol.

Might be nice to lose the glass canopy and go with something armored.

i hear ya i just fig the glass is built proof lol i do wish the back had a wall to separate it so they dont get shot in the back of the heads lol

Well I still wanna see the resolute one on the shelves. That takes care of the problems of the OG V2,3,4 etc. But that wont happen.

man there are alot of things i wish they made from the res cartoon.

well the movie looks like it will be alot more real this time around so we might get some cool real looking rides. i wish they would re release the dtc hummer. they did for the hulk line.

I have a few 21st, BBi and PTE humvees, but the night ops one is pretty nice. I may have to track down one of those.
