The Python Patrol Swampfire - Naja Hidro-Helicoptero!!!

The awesome Python Patrol Swampfire.

Its too bad we didn't see this released in the states.

I would really like this re-released as part of the 25th annie line...hint-hint it would be a great Target exclusive with a python patrol copperhead!!!

Anyone know if Joes are popular in Brazil?

Has anyone visited Brazil and found a crapload of joe merchandise at old toy stores because they didn't sell.

That would be awesome for anyone who visited Brazil

Joes were made in Brazil through 1995, but it's unlikely that you would find any at retail. In the late '90's, Joe collectors contacted Estrela and asked about any overstock that they might have had lying around (like Hasbro Canada) but they were told that Estrela had no Joes left and their best bet was to find a secondary market dealer.

Give that guy a cigar! Mike T is always on the ball ;)

I still kick myself in the Arse for not picking this up when I had the chance...because at the time, "$50 was too much money for a redeco'ed swampfire". DER!

Thats why they need to be released in these cool colors.

I feel your pain man...I could have got one for $25.00 bucks a while ago...but I was too involved with my other collections.

If you think that's cool you should head over to joecustoms.com and check out the pythonized phantom stealth, to me anything pythonized is totally awesome, but im not brave enough to try to do it myself yet, although at joecustoms there is a tutorial on how to do it.
