Hey all, I posted this in another thread, but I think it belongs here.
I picked up a Cobra Gunship with Firefly yesterday and it is pretty cool. Like many people, I think it would have looked better as a helicopter, but regardless, it is still worthwhile. My only real beef was Firefly. This Firefly is the same mold as the others (with the exception of the HoH Firefly) but is very plain. There is no camo on the uniform, he comes with no stand or weapons. On top of this, he is a somewhat tall figure and barely fits in the cockpit. I was thinking about how to make him a bit cooler and address some of the lacking features without painting or buying anything else. First, I took HoH Firefly's pistol and gave it to the new Firefly (HoH FF didn't have a holster anyway). Then I started to wonder if I could actually get HoH FF's bandolier and belt off. With some patience and care, I was able to remove these accessories without damaging them. I removed the vest from RoC FF and put it on HoH FF...it actually looked better! As HoH FF is short, he fits perfectly into the Gunship cockpit and looks fine with the helmet as well (I see lots of pictures of grey helmets, but mine was red). I then, even more carefully, managed to get the bandolier and belt on RoC FF and also gave him the goggles that came with HoH FF...and he look smuch better. I know some of you will think that basterdizing HoH FF is wrong, but I think both versions of the figure look great with the swapped gear. I never picked up the version of FF with the 'classic' look and now I have one that is very similar, plus a pilot that doesn't have to struggle to get in his...ship? I'm at work, so I can't do pictures, but I may when I get home. Have a great day everyone! |

Oh, also, there are only Red-helmet FF's in the TRU and Walmart in London, ON, not a single black one.

On my joe hunting this weekend I found two different versions. The fireflys at target had the red mask and the ones at TRU had the black. I noticed all the photos on the cover art and file card have the red. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything?
