They are too sexy for their body.

Is there a black helmet version of the ROC firefly? Mine is red. I like Firefly cuz he is Cobra saboteur and comes with various accessories and not just many weapons.

The black helmet is harder to find here...the red helmet version was the first batch, and they decided to change it in the second batch cos the red made him look more like Wild Weasel.
And well, I don't think the second batch ever got imported by Hasbro Malaysia

I've forgotten the reason I bought this fella back then. Didn't even know who the heck he was. Maybe cos he looks like Crocodile Dundee on a wakeboard... whistling.gif

Time to spam my latest acquisition - the Sky Striker!
(I ditched the sticker instructions sheet and used what I could to make it look as close as possible to a real F-14 tongue.gif )

It's a great toy just for its sheer size and I would recommend getting it, if you have the cash and display space.
Hooowever, if you're an aviation junkie, you'd be a little disappointed by -
1. A true 1:18 scale F-14 Tomcat would be double this size.
2. The pilot is using a helmet designed specifically for the F-35 Lightning.
3. The cockpit has a HUD from I-dunno-what-plane.
4. The flight stick is to the side instead of the middle.
4. It's a single seater instead of double.
5. The forward landing gear is under the belly, instead of under the cockpit.
6. You're 'meant' to place the Sidewinder missiles under the cockpit, according to the instructions...
7. The mold has the M-61 Vulcan placed too high on the nose.

But that's just me nit-picking. I'm not willing to spend alot of money or time building a super accurate F-14.
However -
1. The Sparrow missiles drop off once you touch them.
2. The Phoenix missiles do the same.
3. The external fuel tank is a little loose.

Still a great toy though! biggrin.gif

@nickvanhakim: It's awesome to see another Storm Shadow fan! Instead of Snake-Eyes non-stop.
Since you've shared your collection of SS, I'll share mine too:

Someone should do a diorama with Zombie Vipers tentacle raping Lady Jaye, Scarlett, Jinx and Helix...........
Or at least, that's what those extra arms that come with the Zombie Viper look like to me. whistling.gif

Some photos of the Retaliation toys.
Interesting stuff:
- H.I.S.S. Tank v6
- F.A.N.G. Boat (looks to be a retool of the vintage Water Moccasin)
- A.W.E. Striker repaint
- Barely articulated Firefly and Snake Eyes with bikes
- Roadblock with Arashikage ninja training (Wtf?)
- Big head Flint or Falcon with Arashikage ninja training (Wtf.)
- Ghost Hawk II with Kenner Star Wars articulated pilot
- SHINY Shockwave H.I.S.S. Tank
- Pimp daddy Destro with Soundwave boombox
- D.I.S.C.O. B.A.T. (Dance Integrated Special Combat Operations Battle Android Trooper)
- Red and gray Alley Viper
- Mercenary Wraith's brother?
- Black Dragon ninja
- Joe Colton (Bruce Willis)
- Jinx in yellow mountain climbing suit
- Lady Jaye

At least now I know the A.W.E. Striker repaint has the Arashikage symbol PAINTED on it. There goes my hope of getting an all-black version.
*Goes back to hunting for the 25th or PoC version*

Don't expect the quality to be the same as 25th or 30th Anniversary.
Those lines were targeted to adults.
Movie based toys will always be targeted at all ages.

Hi, Yup saw the lowlight price really crazy but might consider the other version.

Yup the 30th Anniversary version.

If you're particular about having your modern figures looking as close as possible to the original vintage ones, this is the Cobra Viper to go for:

Note the arms and legs.

The 30th Anniversary version is just re-using the arms and legs of the movie Arctic Assault Storm Shadow. With Zartan's feet.

Not sure if you can find them in TrU anymore though...
