First the Conquest X-30: I did not have this when I was a child. I stopped collecting in what I conceder the last good year 1985. I saw the Conquest advertised and remember thing “that looks like a cheap piece of crap. Looks cool but also looks cheap”. Now I was only 11 or 12 when this came out. Compared to the Sky Striker it just did not hold water for me.
Ok, so today I bought 2 Conquests and 1 rattler. I have to say that my predictions on the Conquest where well founded. It’s the only GI Joe toy that I have ever gotten that I was disappointed in. The plastic and build quality is nowhere near as good as the 82 to 85 GI Joe toys. As soon as you hold it in your hand you realize this. It looks really cool and I am glad to have it because after all it is GI Joe and it is a jet. But I am very disappointed in it. The thing barley stays up strait on the little wheels it has. It wants to fall over to one side or the other. And the top canopy is very cheesy. Oh, and the stickers it comes with are just pure garbage. I can even complain about Slipstream. Why didn’t they make it so his helmet comes off? They have done it on so many other 25th style Joe’s.
The Rattler: 1st off I remember the rattler being a little small but not this small. I know it’s the same size as the original but it must have seemed bigger when I was a little kid. When you put it next to the figures and maybe a jeep or two it seems crazy out of proportion. It looks to be the same size as a little prop plane not a big fighter jet. It is just waaaay to small. Same goes for the Conquest but it isn’t as bad as the Rattler. Also, the front canopy and the canopy for the top gun turret are of very poor quality as well as the landing wheels. I don’t remember this being a problem when I was younger. I feel like the wheels and the canopy’s will be breaking off after just a little bit of playing. Hopefully that won’t be the case. Another thing is the turret gun on top, it is held on by almost nothing. If the canopy isn’t shut the gun will just fall out.
I have never, ever, talked bad about a GI Joe toy before, but I felt that I had to share the feelings I had when taking this out of the box today. I love having them and will probably get a few more of each but I am very disappointed with there quality. I thought the 25th line was going to be better made with new updates but these fall very short of that outlook. Neither of these two planes have any new cool updates like the wave 1 vehicles have.
Ok, I’m done ranting.
you paid 25$ for it "hopefully".
What do you expect? the flagg? LOL
