I would like to see a set with several "new sculpt" era characters done in 25th/ME style. They have a cool story set up with the Stall family. So go with them and a few extra characters.

For the Cobras:
Black Out
Ghost Bear
Neo Vipers x6
Cobra CLAWS x2

For the Joes:
Barrel Roll
Bombstrike/shell
Crosshairs
Dart
Major Barrage or Red Spot





I would love a set like this, but I think it's a little too soon to be profitable for the club. Most of the 25th collectors have no clue who most of those people are unfortunately. The renaissance of the new sculpt o-ring era really hasn't come about yet, maybe James' book will help with that.

I'd like a rescue type mission. Say Ace or someone we haven't gotten yet, like Skystriker in non TF colors, but maybe as Sky Patrol, gets shot down. Cobra dispatches two teams of troops and two cobra leaders. And then the Freebies could be Sky Patrol, considering we have most of the bodies for Sky Patrol, they could really push for it so I say why not.

15 Figure Set

Sky Patrol Skystriker (figure)
Black Out
6 Night-Vipers (POC Jungle Vipers in Black and Grey)
Dr. Mindbender (DOCI Head on new body)
6 Wraith BATs (Clear Plastic)

Freebie Vehicle

Sky HAWK (Vac Metal Ghost HAWK)

Parachute Figure

Skystriker (Tiger Force)

Extras

Sky Patrol 3 pack

Airborne (Body Exists)
Air Wave (Body Exists)
Altitude (Body Exists)

Sky Dragon (Vac Metal ROC Dragonhawk)
w/ Drop Zone (Body Exists)

Sky Sweeper Jet (ROC Sky Sweeper Jet)
w/ Static Line

And as cool as it would be:

Sky Raven (Vac Metal ROC Raven)
w/ Barrel Roll

Maybe switch out Ghost Bear for Interrogator or Scalpel. Ghost Bear could be in a 2 pack with Nuerotoxin or RazorClaw or Scalpel or Interrogator. The Vehicle could be the Desert/Jungle Humvee with Switch Gears or Rollbar. The DTC Hiss with a Cobra Coil or Rip It. And as a special pack Agent Faces with a bunch of gear to "desgise" himself as diffrent Cobra troopers and named characters.

Nice. I love it. I'd say Scalpel (over Ghost Bear) would be a must... that way, you could turn two of those Neo-Vipers into Medi-Vipers, too. On the Joe side, I'd go with Sgt. Hacker (or even Mariner!) over Red Spot or Major Barrage, because of their DDP comic book visibility, however limited. I'd make the two-pack Ghost Bear and Burnout. The DTC HISS and Agent Faces ideas are absolute gold.

That said, Roshan's probably right about their time not being right just yet. As a "SpyTroops 10th Anniversary" set, though...

10 years ago if you mentioned a Star Brigade set, it would be almost universally panned, now ten years later, a lot more people suggest it. Con sets themes must age like fine wine :D

I'd still pan it. :lol:

Mentioning that SpyTroops is coming up on its 10th Anniversary makes me feel really old.
