they did a FANTASTIC job on the Armadillo. the cannonscan even move up and down seprately(meaning that the right side can be up, left side down) Very cool indeed! Bring on the next wave of these!

Don't have one but the only improvement I observed is that the serpent head's jaw is moveable. They could've raised the handlebar's height a little.

played with my sons new toy tonight with him.

huge flaws in my opinion.
1. only one foot peg. figures tend to fall off of become unstable during play.
2. the handles were not raised to meet the 25th serpento height. as a result he looks rather hunched over if you expect him to hold on via the handles since he only has one foot peg to stand on.

my son did not play with this long as i got tired of constantly putting him back on.

Perhaps Serpy is supposed to have his knees bent like he usually did in the cartoon (Kinda like someone riding a jet ski)

sounds logical but in reality, you have to point his feet out to begin with just to get his big ass foot to actual stand on the foot peg. this would mean he has both feet pointed out and bent at the knees. i tired it and it looks funny. not the best solution... it's a flaw in my book.

That's bad news, I have to say. The handle issue can be solved with what Shogi mentioned, I would think. But the one foot peg is an oversight that can't be ignored. It's unacceptable. Why would you put one foot peg on a vehicle that is meant to be moved around so much?
