So..... I got the Avatar "Scorpion gunship" today.
Interesting to note, it comes in a pretty flat box but there's assembly required! lol. It bbulks up right nice when you plug alll the things in there.
It's nice. Like a smaller version of the Sigma 6 dragon hawk but more heavily armed. Which is pretty cool. Twirlling blades are nice. The spring loaded missles are cleaverly hidden, which is nice. Nice color and paint aps. All around a neat vechile.
BUT! Beware.... if you read the box you'lll see that it can seat 'SOME of the 3 and 3/4th Avatar human figures.... which as we've guessd and seen are alot smaller than our joes.
So I got it home and got it built and popped open the two stage cockpit. (( Canopy opens and instrament pannel swings out))
...... it's small inside. Very small. I'm going to guess that... 80 to 95% of our current 25th joes aren't going to fit in there. Especially if they have on harnesses or vests or anything as many of them do. Nor will the taller or wider figures have a chance what so ever.
I walked over to my 'open' shelves and looked though. grabbed the space boot Grandslam from the LAW pack.... opened the cockpit.... and ..... after about.....15 minutes of carefully twisting, gently pressing, carefully posing, carefully squeesing..... and folding his feet "Flat" (( those horrid silver shoes)) under.... I got him to BARELY pop in place.
So I was pretty excited. Folding the feet flat atop one another just barely let me fold the controls down over them (( Which hide those boots nicely I might add)) With the control pannel folded down the cannopy could close.
So just before I did I put his helment with the face shield down on his noggin and clicked it shut.
He fits. Barely. And the canopy is right against his head which keeps that damn helment that jumps off if you LOOK at it hard, on his head.... so! That's nice. The green of his uniform matches the ship.. which is good and the silver chest pads and stuff 'pop' a bit in there so you can tell someone's piloting it.
Great little toy. It's alot smaller than the S6 dragon hawk but CAN..... with efffort... and the RIGHT figure..... sit a joe.
I can't stress this enough... it's __Not__ going to sit most. Only the thinnest and least bulked out ones. Maybe Helix or Scarlett but I don't have any opened scarletts, and my helix is all in position. (( and now that I have Grand Slam in there.... I'm not taking him out.. lol))
I like it. It's a little steep at $25 but I -can- recomend it.
If I had a complaint it'd be that in the movie these things were the company's 'heuy's' And could sit two in the cockpit and 4 to 6 in the back.
Had they put it to that size (( Roughly Tomahawk sized)) it'd have been AMAZING.
As is it's a 1 seater ((barely!!)) little attack gunship.
I'd have love loved loved a bigger one. As is, it's pretty neat.
