So much missed money. The comic packs got hot and they doubled-down on those. They should have suspended them for comic-accurate vehicles.



Fans were asking for it. Part of the reason we're seeing ML stuff now. Vonner sculpted a SHIELD car. Maybe everyone just expected Marvel comic vehicles to happen since that it mostly the point of a 3.75" toy line so no one really lobbied for it.

It definitely was a failure and I don't think the speckling of 1/12-scale land-speeders, hell-cycles, tie-fighters, and maybe punisher vans is making a dent in the market of what GIJoe and SW used to do in 1/18 scale.

Sad part is that you would think that they could have used a lot of G.I, Joe vehicles as a base to make some new Marvel Universe vehicles even if they were not totally comic accurate. Some like the bikes and some of the smaller tanks, plane, and jeeps repainted packed with shield or hydra drivers and we probably would have went nuts for them.
