If you thought those big plastic boxes full of Star Wars figures and vehicles that were exclusive to Target were completely ball popping awesome, it really was only a vision of things to come. Target’s got an G.I. Joe Ultimate Battlepack coming down the pipe that is fantabulous:

This vehicle contains three vehicles. The first is the MOBAT, which I don’t think was released in quite a few years. If you don’t remember it from your youth, it’s the G.I. Joe tank that was motorized and still is in the re-release. Next up is the H.I.S.S. tank. I know what you’re thinking, you don’t need another H.I.S.S. This one is a bit different, though. This H.I.S.S. is of the ultra cool red variety, making it a cool Crimson Guard H.I.S.S. Finally, there’s a Trouble Bubble. Again, it’s not the one that they are re-releasing at mass retail. Nope, this one is Cobra Fricken Commander’s “Flight Pod.” I seem to remember him clinging precariously to almost any flying vehicle he could in order to escape instead of using any kind of fancy vehicle, but maybe my memory is wrong.
There are six whopping figures included in this set and one of them is Short Fuze. So it looks like fans of the first series of Joes will have to get this set in order to complete the entire group of thirteen original G.I. Joe team members. Sucks to be you!
To see more pics of the G.I. Joe Ultimate Battlepack you must head over to Toy News International. They’ve got close ups of each vehicle and figure! Oh yeah, the set is supposed to street on December first and will retail for fifty bucks, which isn’t that bad of a price considering what’s included.
