I like the new look of the Dragonfly but it will never replace the 1/18 BBI Apache that I got. However, I recall one of the Q&As with Hasbro awhile back when someone asked if we'd see a Tomahawk and they said that there would be NO helicopters released. But now we're getting this updated Dragonfly. So much for believing anything they say!

Hey did you see that customized Tomahawk thread? Some tanker took a Blackhawk and painted desert camo on it, cut the windows out and installed mini-guns, and attached the original Tomahawk's chin gun and bomb racks. It looks freakin awesome! |

Zuludelta, I had a question about your file cards. The other night I was reading Flint and Chuckles and I noticed how you had changed Flint's education. You had him graduating from Wichita State, and there was no mention of his Rhodes Scholarship. Also, you had Chuckles listed as having an Associates Degree from a Community College. I'm interested to know how you made these choices? What was the purpose?
Though Chuckles has been confirmed as being Army CID, he does do a lot of work with CIA. An associates degree from a community college in Arkansas would hardly seem adequate. The foreign language skills alone would necessitate at leas a Bachelor's degree, and probably from a reputable institution. As for Flint, his Rhodes Scholarship was one of his most unique characteristics. The whole point was to demonstrate that he wasn't just a snake eating Green Beret; Flint is a refined, cultured, and extremely well educated man. He's certainly not the type of person who would have attended a school like Wichita State, though I'm sure it's a nice place and serves the needs of it's community. However, I seriously doubt if Wichita State ever produced a Rhodes Scholar. The question of where many of the Joes went to college has never been officially answered. Some conclusions can be drawn... for example, because Flint is not a commissioned Officer, we know he didn't go to West Point. However, given his high level of education, his major in English Literature, and his Post Graduate work, it is highly likely that he attended an Ivy caliber school... though the fact that his undergraduate institution is never mentioned is an obvious question mark. I'm just interested in your line of thinking concerning the Joes' education. You did, after all, take the time to list it in your file cards.

So of all the new figs coming out, what do you guys like the most?
The Resolute stuff is my favorite: Roadblock, Snake Eyes (hopefully he'll come with a glider suit option) and Gung-Ho (the best looking one of all). I'm really hoping to see a Resolute Doc, Flint and Scarlett. She's a primary character and yet they haven't quite given her the "DUKE" treatment. |

I hope all this stuff we've seen shows up between July and December.
My wallet doesn't.

Oh, so you think the Dragonfly won't be coming out this year? I didn't see any release dates but assumed it might come out with the movie this fall.
Hey did you see that customized Tomahawk thread? Some tanker took a Blackhawk and painted desert camo on it, cut the windows out and installed mini-guns, and attached the original Tomahawk's chin gun and bomb racks. It looks freakin awesome! That new Dragonfly really appeals to me. If it's an homage to the Apache or Comanche, that will be fine with me. I'm just excited about a new attack helicopter. I'll probably buy 4 of them.

Gung-Ho benefits from being an RoC look that matches his Resolute look. I like alot of the RoC stuff. Not the "pure" RoC as much as the repaints (I love the gray camo Airborne, and the Beachhead repaint).
