Some people think it's not very realistic in design? Guess what? The original had a drone vehicle atttached to it which would negate its ability to maneuver.

Regarding electronics in Joe vehicles. I hated Sound Attack (just lamely executed). However, I love the Thunderwing. It's a great TOY. The sound effects in it are awesome. It responds to how you tilt it. Sure, it was a little squishy in design, but the NR/B doesn't seem to suffer from that malady. If it's similar to the Thunderwing in terms of playability, I'll be very happy.
Now as far as best balance of gimmicks and proportions, my favorite vehicle with electronics is the NAC(Night Attack Chopper). Gunship, troop carrier, durable, good gimmicks, and all around bad ass helicopter. Now one thing I LOVE about the Nightbird, is that it does not have tiny wings and a huge, oversized canopy like the Thunderwing. Basically, whatever I was disappointed with on the Thunderwing is not seen here on the Nightbird, and when the Night Raven was announced for the movie, that's what I was worrying about the entire time. I'm glad it turned out alright. Quote:
I know some collectors are wanting a rerelease of the original NR. Does its mold even still exist in-tact?

Also, retailers might not be willing to order it. It would be in a very large box (the plane doesn't really break down length-wise). Stores might not be wanting to allocate such a large amount of shelf-space to a toy which in actuality might have a limited audience. The movie NR at least has a movie to help sell it.
One thing I've learned these past 2 years, is that nothing is ever definite, and that things change at a fast pace. So who knows. If the movie and toy line do incredibly well, I think we'll be in for a long ride with awesome surprises. |

I calculate a 37% probability that Hasbro will create an X-Men SR-71 Blackbird for their 3.75" Marvel Universe action figures and then kitbash it into a Night Raven for GIJOE. Or vice versa. |
