Ahhh - coffee tables and guest chairs are overrated! Sofa, big TV, and 1:18 scale Hercules is all a living room really needs! And perhaps a few candles and a throw over or two for the ladies?

Well, I'm thinking of it being shortened to the size of the Chap Mei Chinook or something.

Ya know..., if Hasbro doesn't have the rights to the earliest Palitoy figures (either :skip: and the gang, or the even earlier figures such as :arctic: , :deepsea: , :german: , :frogman: and :desert: ), then they're really missing a trick. World Peacekeepers (or someone like them) could easily start churning-out generic SAS Troopers :attack: by the bucketfull...

I see your point, Kraken old buddy. But i must admit... I can't help missing oldschool figures such as :beaver: , :muton: , and the original Star Wars toys.

Like that, but good.
Just re-reading this thread. This is a good question, but I get the feeling Hasbro would just tell us to go and ask Devil's Due... like they did during the last set of questions. :(
