Just received my Skydive thanks to TRU's sale last week. I was blown away by how much of a gem this figure is. Based around an obscure character I'd say everything about this figure is fantastic. I particularly like how the rocket pack looks. 10/10!

Love this figure. Really is one of the best we've seen in ME form. I also have the canceled RoC Ripcord and he is just as awesome.

Yeah waves 3 + had some great figures in them and Skydive/Ripcord was an example of some brilliant creative work on hasbro's part. Future tech + military feel. I like how a lot of the figure was used for Captain Ace since they would be doing similar and related functions on the Joe team.

Not a bad figure, just wish he came with more guns.

I picked him up on something of a whim and I was surprised at how much I liked him. As far as weapons, it would've been nice if he had at least an smg.

If you really like this figure, grab one of the Ripcords off e-bay for$10-12. I don't know anyone that has regretted getting him.

Just checked out the cancelled Ripcord. Now I feel obligated to get him.

I agree and also enjoy this figure. I also appreciate the creativity invested into the flight pack and accessories.
Was also wondering if others would still want a classic update or will this poc version do?

What I would love to see is an updated take on V2 General Hawk based on Skydive

I desperately want ME versions of all the Sky Patrol guys. That was one of my favorite subgroups.
I did really like the PoC one though. It was a very cool figure. Though I liked the cancelled Ripcord better.

He's one of the all-time most underrated G.I. Joe action figures... and the pre-production version is even better. I was always quietly stunned at the way so many collectors ignored or criticized this toy.
Both versions are very photogenic, too.

And like the PoC Beachhead, ANY head looks good on the body:

These are two of my favorite figures. I've been debating if I should buy more for head swaps.
