[nighthawk]

This is the only Retalliation vehicle I really want and I'm happy to see that the Arashikage logos are stickers.

[Crimson Rage]

I don't know why, but I absolutely love that shade of blue. It just seems so... right. HISS Tank then this, then the Ghost Hawk.

[tigerclaw]

Now thats what I'm talking about. Stickers for the logos

[fireflyguy]

I want this! I love that the arashikage symbols are stickers, so I don't have to put them on!

I can't tell from the pictures---is the back part removable? So many custom possibilities. I even like the colors, but I might get an extra to paint. I even like the driver. If y'all don't want the driver, send them to me!

[esg2145]

Get the black paint ready, here comes the Stinger Mk II...... :)



.....not to mention some tan for a VAMP MK II.

[whitefox360]

Does it look like the webgear on the driver comes off to anyone else?

[nighthawk]

Does it look like the webgear on the driver comes off to anyone else?

That would be cool

[carion]

Does it look like the webgear on the driver comes off to anyone else?

Good question, is it removable?

[KINGOFNOD5]

can't wait for this thing

[Dawg99]

looks awesome

[Superjoe74]

This is actually one of the few vehicles I want from the Retaliation line. It is neat as-is but, there are also so many ways I could see customizing it as well. I am disappointed with the final production figure- if that is what we are seeing in the photo- it does not look anything (color wise) like the initial images..too bad, I wanted troop build the driver..

[blackbarn]

Might pick this up if I see it, as I don't have a new style VAMP yet. That said, I'm not convinced I like the new style VAMP yet...

[Deftones1982]

Stil a big NO GO here. Reminds me of Street Fighter GIJOE car of the 90's. The colors etc.

[Troops of Doom]

Joe vehicles should be any other color than Cobra blue. Stick some Cobra sigils on this and it's good to go.

[MJjoe4life]

This is a vehicle i will most def buy multiples of. It looks really cool!!!

[07GT500 COBRA]

May be the only vehicle I get from the Retaliation line.

[bossprime]

Stinger anyone?

[CobraScream]

This is the only thing that is not up for pre order yet!

Hasbro get the ball rolling now!

[Gung.Heaux]

fatastic that the arashacookie symbol is a decal. but, is there a ''GI Joe" logo anywhere on that decal sheet?

otherwise not a bad looking re-purpose. i do agree with the line of thinking that with that coloring it should be a cobra vehicle.

[rdodger]

This is the vehicle I want most from the movie line.

[Veedubguy83]

already have 2 each of the POC and 30th Vamps so I will get these and they will be for Cobraaaaaa!!! I do wish they wouldn't even pack a figure with it though, just a waste of plastic if you ask me...

[Jasonwelcome]

This vehicle is a win for me, I'll put a few cobra stickers on it and i'll have a nice blue shirt vehicle

[rdodger]

Cobra stickers should do a special Cobra sheet just for this vehicle.

[Cobra Terrorist]

Argggh - I can't wait to get those DOORS!

I need them to properly finish my Stinger custom!

[gruppenfuhrer88]

This a totally a Stinger YO!

[nighthawk]

Argggh - I can't wait to get those DOORS!

I need them to properly finish my Stinger custom!

Be patient, this is on the way. I'm having these cast and it will also have a roof on it too for when figures aren't sticking their heads out.

[Scotty97]

Should've just called it the Mudbuster and been done with it.

YOJOE.COM | Mudbuster Box (http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/93/mudbuster/mudbuster_box.shtml)

I actually really dig the vehicle, but the color is worse than I had imagined. Not a fan of having to repaint whole vehicles.

[ceraurus]

Get the black paint ready, here comes the Stinger Mk II...... :)

Yes!

Does it look like the webgear on the driver comes off to anyone else?

That would be a plus.

[Python_Puckman]

"Ninja colors"? I guess those are colors you don't see until it's too late

[Laser Viper]

Holy Moly! I cant wait for this!!! This, Then the Hiss tank and then not sure.

[Dolemite]

I hate how the Retaliation vehicle drivers have some of the coolest designs of the series but are the most fucked when it comes to articulation.

[Raw Dog]

I like it a lot. I will definitely purchase one when they come out.

[devilfish60]

Exactly...its too bad all the vehicle drivers have that garbage crotch.

[CobraCoffee]

Pass. GI Joe figures and vehicles are getting worse. Soon people will be excited over TRUE HEROES! YES!

[orezona]

Fill it full of Shock Troopers and 30th Troopers and you've got your urban assault vehicle good to go!

So many poor Arashikage stickers will be going to the dump...

[snowviper]

It's definitely a stinger in my books, swap the back with the fist pocket vamp for a proper mkII, oh and take the head and mvest from the fig and put it on a shock trooper body or something similar, a little paint and you've got a great fig. Too bad Hasbro couldn't just get it right in production.

[Ctrl_Z]

I'm thinking I'm going to leave all reference to GI Joe decals off this and give it to my Cobra Troopers.

[Beckley]

This is the only Retalliation vehicle I really want and I'm happy to see that the Arashikage logos are stickers.

Now thats what I'm talking about. Stickers for the logos

I want this! I love that the arashikage symbols are stickers, so I don't have to put them on!

Indeed.
I'm sill on the fence about getting one

[Blaster'spunchingbagg]

Wow they are really getting their moneys worth out of that mold huh?

[Christoph]

That is so cool

[Shin Densetsu]

HELLO STINGER!!!!

Hell yea.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Oh no...the missile pod in the back "springs up" like that?? How much toruble is that going to be take out? UUUGHHHHHand them missile peach cobbler color UUUUGGHH...love having to paint everything...they could have been grey or silver or something...black maybe? that could save em some paint costs....now i have to buy mor espray paints...cost me even more money...just mold everything in black....that would work for me.

[jmlawn]

I love this Vamp, but that figure is so useless why did they bother?

[Steevy Maximus]

I love this Vamp, but that figure is so useless why did they bother?

To increase the chance a parent will buy it.

Nearly all vehicles include SOME figure these days because consumers don't want to "spend extra" to "complete" a play pattern. It was decided at some point that the upper price points needed to offer a "complete" play pattern, the "one and done" purchase.

Then why make single carded figures at all? Seems the better thing would be to "complete the play pattern" and offer the "complete package" from the get go?

[Zombie F Body]

This will be a Night Force Mk.II Vamp until the inevitable repaint comes out in desert deco!

[Troynos]

This is the only vehicle I want. I want multiples.

[brock Samson]

This is the only vehicle I'll be buying as well. I plan on some part swaps with a poc Vamp to Make a proper brown mkII with missile launcher. I guess I can take my Sig pic down now.

[Wylde Weezle]

Missed my shot at getting a Night Fox figure with POC line. I might go for this.

[RolandofGilead]

If only it came in Tan, then I'd have my Vamp Mark II. Instead, I guess I get myself a modern Stinger.

[89PILOT]

Much prefer the missile rack on the one in your photo,having said that I still think this is a very cool vehicle,would love to get my hands on one!!!

[Steel Brigade]

won't be buying any RET vehicles, the drivers were half the fun & these lack of articulate drivers have dampened it for me.

[Mech-Viper]

That figure just rocks , I'm troop building him

[IIIzoeIII]

good that driver looks even worse now than the promo pics...the vehicle is still cool though needs paint..really bad like.

DO NOT DROP F-BOMBS on the forum!

[Sgt Jugo]

Cobra stickers should do a special Cobra sheet just for this vehicle.

Cobrastickers is planning to do some custom sets for this vehicle. I'm just glad I won't have to design stickers to cover up the Arashikage logos.

[dhoff311]

I think this will be great for customizing!

[80sKid]

If the driver was fully articulated I would be all over this but as such I will not be buying this or any vehicle from this line. I am not that big into vehicles as an adult anyways and usually only bought them if I really really liked them or I would if the driver was cool. Pass...

[GeneralxRon]

gonna pick up a few and use the doors for my Vamp MK II

[manic mailman]

so why is there no hatch to access the back compartment.
its just like enclosed so the missiles can sit on top
but then inside its just dead space with no way of using it for storage?
unless you pop off the contraption?

thats my only gripe

[jim0680]

i wasnt sure we were still getting this..maybe its for later release. def would get one. i am not sure about color maybe its navy vehicle for shipwreck.....i like the removable top for customs

[JoeAddict]

So all the shots before these the top was a lighter black color. Now it's blue? I like the black! I guess I'll have to break out the airbrush...

[grunt0341]

Love the vehicle...yea the figure sucks, but I'd still like to see better pics of it...hope the web gear is useful...

[ShadowNinja]

That figure doesnt even look like night fox. It looks like it has a SE head to me. Nice vehicle but Ill toss the figure off the empire state building without the cobra troopers chute.

[Kungfuguy]

Travelling in style! Finally a roof! lol

[speedocub]

What exactly are "Ninja Colors"?

[Money-B]

What exactly are "Ninja Colors"?

Some shade of sneaky?

I like the figure.
Sounds like plenty will be available.

[brock Samson]

I originally saw these pics on my phone. Now that I'm on the PC, I noticed there's a lot of mold changes. There's no winch on the front or fly wheel. It's possible they put a new hood and left out those parts to reduce the cost. There's a large hole socket in the center behind the 2nd row "moon roof" area that may fit the first two Vamp accessories. From the pics, I can't figure out how the missile turret mounts to the topper. Does it raise up and down or is it fixed? I'm hoping it's removable and you can have just a hold there for a figure to stand and man the turret that can plug in to that middle hole. I guess we'll have to wait and see in stores.

[brock Samson]

Nevermind, found another pic on ac toys, looks like the mount for the missile launcher retracts and anchors in the turret plug.

[DARKWIND]

Gonna grab two of these babies!!!

[Torgos-Pizza]

What a stinkburger! Another easy pass. Yet, it's heartbreaking at the same time. I want to like RET vehicles and figures but so far I just dunno. :(

[Raw Dog]

Well I like it! I wish the missile launcher was black though so I could add the canopy to my green Vamp if I wanted. Yeah, that would be sick!

[jogunwarrior]

Gonna grab two of these babies!!!

Yeah I was going to get one for sure but now plan on getting two are three, to be used as updated Cobra Stingers! May paint one up in Tiger Force colors as well!

[Ash Talon]

One, I think the driver's vest is removable which is the only way to redeem its existence.

Two, I think top is just gray enough that it might look cool on top of the first released version of this VAMP. The grayish-blue might mess with the muted green.

Three, the color is just odd to me. If it was more earthy, it would fit in as a really cool Joe vehicle. If it was a darker or more saturated blue or black, it would fit in as a Cobra vehicle. As is, it's in a weird in-between state.

Four, you know this thing is being repainted an rereleased. Either in tan for the Joes or black for Cobra. I also expect them to repaint the redone HISS in black. Their way of getting repeat sales.

[Raw Dog]

I think the driver's head reminds me of Battle Corps Beach Head I think.

[fireflyguy]

I think, as I look at the pictures, that the missile rack looks a little too big. I sincerely hope the back comes off, and with a little cutting and such, it could be turned into a good SWAT-type vehicle.

[JoeAddict]

If you look at the last picture it shows it in parts. It looks like the back part comes off.

[mordengard]

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/wing_woo/Joe%20Customs/035-2.jpg

Are you making them available for everyone?

[TheRealDubya]

C'mon Hasbro - even Kenner Star Wars figures had some paint apps. They don't need to look like prototypes.

[AirborneRigger]

I'm not happy about the figures losing articulation but at least they are lowering the prices on the vehicles to make up for it.

30th VAMP w/ SBD - $24.99(later lowered to $19.99)
Retaliation VAMP - $16.99

I may but one at full price and wait for clearance or sales before I buy more for custom Stingers.

[fireflyguy]

If you look at the last picture it shows it in parts. It looks like the back part comes off.

I somehow missed that picture. But it sure does look like the back part is removable. What's more, it looks like you have the option of not putting the divider between the back seats and the cargo area, thereby making it one contiguous space. So all I'd have to do is find something else to out on top, or put nothing on top, and you've got a near-perfect vehicle.

[neapolitan joe]

No problem with the pilot, there is Night Fox version 1:
http://www.yojoe.com/filecard/10/nightfox.jpg .

[OX_Bigly]

The name could be reworked.

[Fred Broca XIII]

...glad they are making the logo a sticker...I'm just saying...jeeps with missiles don't shout "ninja" to me...unless we are talking about the "clan of shouting ninjas", then I'd totally see them roll up in a jeep fire a salvo and jump out screaming...

[edhellman]

is this the closest we will get to a renegades coyote?

[Gun-Haver]

I'm leaning toward liking this thing a lot really. In a sea of oddly colored vehicles at least this one looks a bit more modest. Not bad Hasbro, liking the extra pieces.

[Lt. Faceless]

Looks like my son is getting this.I just want the doors/back covers.

[Gyre-Viper]

it's... it's... not...a gi joe... in there.

I don't... know what that is... but... it's not a gi joe.

don't touch it until we've identified it.

this thing seriously going to be only $16.99? I remain skeptical. That sounds too good to be true.

[firefly12]

If this thing is only going to be $16.99, I'm going to get a few of them for customs.
I might not be able to take apart a fugure with out a small IED, but I love customizing vehicles!

[Dem_Yoe'z!]

The design is cool but the colors they picked are terrible!

All they need to do to make some CRAZY money is repaint this thing all black and include red missiles, then replace the POS driver with a grey repaint of the POC/30th Cobra Trooper with an AK and officer webgear/badging. I'd buy at least 10

At this price I'll grab one

[Ash Talon]

Not sure where people are getting $16.99.

I think the bikes are ~$12. The Bravos (AWE Striker and Water Moccasin) are ~$15, and the Deltas are ~$20.
