I feel like the SHARC is in the same vehicle class as the Sky Hawk or AWE Striker. Granted, we don't have Classified examples of either, but I'd put the VAMP in a class bigger than those. If not the same class. So if the VAMP can be made, the SHARC can be, at around the same cost. I don't know how I'd want Deep Six though. I never had him as a kid, but I feel like the deep dive suit was too immobile, and that as a GI Joe figure, we were getting gypped on the standard articulation Joes benefitted from. So he didn't appeal to me. I'd hope they'd find a way to make his suit both have the appropriate bulk and maximize articulation, even if it isn't the standard point count that a typical figure has.
The SHARC could fly in the air too, right?
Dial Tone has shipped for me from Amazon.
I'm kinda skipping sea stuff, why I wanted a Shipwreck with the tactical gear and beanie, so any SEALs I get will be dressed for land missions. So, they can pack deep six with a sharc all day.
Wet suit with a devil fish, etc.
I get this... for sure.
For me, my dream scenario is to have my Joe display split into 4-ish pieces. One general display of all the main guys in their main looks with some (but certainly not all for space reasons) of their vehicles or gear.
A second - much smaller - snow missions area that would have the Snow Cat in the center, Frost Bite, Snowjob, Iceberg, Snow mission Snake Eyes, Kwinn, maybe a Polar Bear.
Another small sea missions area ideally with the Whale as the centerpiece and all other water based characters on or adjacent to that.
And then a "Special Missions" display that would currently be dominated by Tiger Force but also include Night Force and Marauders versions of characters...
That's what I'm aiming for. Cobra would have something mirroring that - Main Cobra display, Crimson Guard contingent, Python Patrol contingent and Dreadnoks and other kooks. The snow and water specialists for Cobra might go into the Joe environment specific displays though.
Come on. Get real. A polar bear, or a ton?
What would be cool would be a glass table, maybe a coffee table even, and you have half the Whale on it with the bottom half beneath along with frogmen etc.

Oh... for sure I plan to get my hands on numerous Polar Bears from the upcoming Joe set. I just don't know how many of them would be in that specific display. Those bears are going to wreak havoc across my collection man...
I want a polar bear to drive a Polar Bear.

Genius... now they have to give us that Joe themed "Ski-mobile" so we can do just that.
My favorite part of the Polar Bear packaging was always Snow Job driving in full parka with the hood up, gloves and goggles and then riding behind him - through the snow - is Gung Ho with only his open sleeveless vest covering his torso. Literally one guy in full winter thermals and one dude basically topless. It's always been sort of perfect. They could have put anybody on that vehicle behind Snow Job, they chose to put the shirtless marine back there.
Ha. My friends and I had the Polar Bear box discussion decades ago. We decided that the artist probably had to include a new 1983 figure on the box and none of the other single carded Joes released in '83 really worked — Airborne, Doc, Torpedo and Tripwire.
Or they just wanted to stress how tough Gung-Ho really was ...
I always thought Doc would have made a better choice, even if wasn't going to be locked and loaded.

And the Village People bravely ride into battle. 😀
Seriously though, I could see this being made and released in the general market (like the RAM). Probably with Iceberg or Frostbite.
I couldn't describe even one plot from that cartoon yet I knew exactly what it was without googling. My memory is so stupid. Then again, someone mentions a bear driving and I immediately remember a brief moment from the Clerks cartoon.
@detectivehoag this comment had me ROARING laughing.
I hope, I really hope, someone in the company did that on purpose. He had to file an art order for the box, had all the options before him to choose from, and set yes, Gung-Ho, no one else will do, put the shirtless Marine rising on the back.
Honestly I've got more friends than I can think of off the top of my head for whom that box art was their awakening.
Speaking of Gung-Ho, I'm literally dying waiting for v3 Gung Ho, the most gung ho of Gung Hos. Come on, Hasbro!
Unrelated but I'm always happy to see how well the users of this particular subforum get along and enjoy the toy line. Not obsessively nitpicking the details of figures comparing them to the cartoon, not arguing about what we got versus what "we should have" got, just goofin' off with our own headcanons and memories. Good stuff. As a kid I always thought this figure looked like a loaded-out Rambo Phil Collins. There's my contribution.
Rambo Phil Collins needs to be somethjng. A cartoon or something I dunno
