My son and I have been wanting the Nightraven as soon as we seen it in the movie.
When it finally hit the shelves sticker shock set in. So I decide to get him one for xmas no matter what. Thank god TRU had it on sale. So the big day gets here, he opened the box and is thrilled. I take look at it to see if it some thing I still want for my self. First thing I notice is how light it is, I expected a bit more wieght to it. So we attach the wings, very poor design. They are not very stabile and come off evry easily. Next thing HE notices is that the wheels do not roll. We are both bummed about this, no taxiing down the run way. So how many Tankers have waited and wanted a new Joe, get it home and are let down? |

yeahup...
not as bad as an unarticulated SW fig, but the night raven was chock full of lose from the start. clever hasbro starved us for product for 6-8 months, than dropped that turd so I for one chewed on it just to have a new joe toy. It's a bucket of fail.

If your son is thrilled with it... that is all that should matter

The Ice Dagger.
The whole thing just disappointed me. The missile station is really loose and flimsy when up, which I don't ever have it up cause it looks dumb but... The front skis moving annoys the hell out of me. What is the point of that?

I'm ok w. the front ski's; I like to drive it off inclines, like the little give & play the pivots provide. Not a bad repainted fig, but most def not Frostbite. More generic Joe Whiteshirt, or a cobra winter terrorist.

I've got the Night Raven and Ice Dagger, not too happy with the NR's "cocking feature" and the ID's floppy turret either. Glad I didn't pay full price for either one. Those are the only problems I have.

That's the worst, when you get something you've been dying to get only to have massive disappointment when you get home.

If I were that disappointed in such item, I would just take it back to the store.

Destro's Dominator... That was probably the most disappointing vehicle I ever got.
What a lame load of loss.
