I saw this the other day along with the “new” Vamp. It looked kinda cheap and lacking in detail so I passed. However, found a Night Raven from the movie line at Marshalls for seventeen bucks yesterday, that thing is AWESOME.
I just grabbed it and my Review is here:
http://that-figures.blogspot.com/2011/09/review-gi-joe-30th-anniversary-black.html
It’s a very good, cool-looking vehicle but some of them (mine included) have mis-aligned canopy covers. No matter how hard you try, it simply won’t snap shut (and that’s even without a pilot.)
A shame, as that aside it’s a neat toy.
Alright well your review certainly makes it look nicer to me, but that canopy issue bugs me. Maybe I’ll hold off and hope it hits TJ Maxx or Marshalls for ten bucks in a few months…
@Iok – Thanks for the link to the review. Damn, sucks to hear the canopy isn’t working right because that kinda kills this one for me.
Picked one up yesterday out of curiosity, it’s pretty cool. Bigger than I expected, the dropping bombs are nice but the spring out gun and spring forward wing booms I could have done without. I don’t think mine has the canopy issue, unless the canopy slightly overhanging the edge of the cockpit is the issue, in which case I think it’s supposed to do that, not great but whatever. My biggest complaint is with the Air Viper since his lower legs are hindered by his knee pads so he can’t stand up completely straight. They should have just used the entire Para Viper leg instead of just the thighs and knees.
@Black Zarak – I still haven’t seen this in stores. So the figure is a mix of parts from other designs? At least the ParaViper is a great figure; hell, they could have packed in one of those in new colors and I would have been happy.
