Speaking of vests in general and apologies for the off-topicness, why does no-one sell vests (either singly or in multipacks)?
I know Marauder's sells a couple of flak vest type things (the type that come with iirc World Peace Keeper figures), but surely there's quite a large market to "copy" the standard vests on the Joes? E.g. The bazooka trooper vest would be quite nice to have a couple of, I would like a whole load of parachute vests (e.g. like the one that came with the real Ripcord - Spc. Altitude), a few duffel bags like the one the original Hit 'n Run had would be useful, and I was (before the release of the new Low Light) thinking that Roadblock's vest would be useful for a custom. I can't be the only one who would buy these things, nor can I really be the only one who thinks it's a bit wasteful to buy a figure just for a vest. Rant over, back to business everyone |

Isn't it the same as the Stinger driver?

Almost - the Stinger Driver actually has the back holster whereas the Bazooka trooper does not. Otherwise they're identical.

The one that was released in the 2007 Cobra Legions 5-pack comes with the air trooper/cobra officer style vest.

This is pure speculation (on my part) as they are mass-created to fit the figures - but I think aftermarket wise they are harder to re-create then say the rubbery world peace keeper vests. That's at least my guess on the matter - if not then someone should start making molds for them and or create and sell them in various colors!

Updraft is the Retaliator Helicopter pilot. What type of helicopter is the Retaliator? In Updraft`s Filecard,it says he was a special instructor at a Flight Warrant Officer`s School.
