Haha, no, Destro is definitely the default for me! I had a Destro when I was a kid but never a Jackal. He's definitely the repaint in my eyes. That and he's a lot less common.

Just picked this up from a seller on eBay in a lot. It's 100% complete and in great condition, I've wanted one for ages but they're hard to find without missing or broken parts. Also got the Hyena tank in the background and a Jackal, complete Panther, etc. A great lot, but this monstrosity is the main star!

Here's a photo of the Roboskull and Jackal which arrived today. The Roboskull is pretty perfect, all stickers are there and it's just in overall great condition. Jackal has a bit of wear on his wrists, but that's no issue. The chest area is great, which is the important part. To me, the Roboskull is one of the best toys of the 80s. It's just all about excess and it shouldn't work but it really, really does.

Wow, never seen a Roboskull. Now I need one. So crazy. What are they selling for?

The Roboskull kicks ass. I bought a large lot of Action Force stuff years ago becasue it had two of them. They were also the last of my AF stuff I sold off when transitioning into the modern era. Which if I had known we would get so many AF stuff in FSS I would have kept them. TBH I have never been a huge fan of the AF figure repaints but they had some really great vehicles that the US market didn't get.

They are completely crazy. It reminds me of a Star Wars/MOTU crossover vehicle or something. A complete one in perfect condition with the pilot Red Wolf included is between £200-300 these days. There are a lot of easily broken parts and the side panels are easily snapped. Considering it's a flying vehicle, if Little Jimmy decided to stage a crash then it'd be game over really. It feels so fragile it's like they forgot it was supposed to be a toy!

Today's mail haul.
Finally I can say I own these. I have been collecting Joe's most of my life but these two have always seemed to elude me. Now that I have them in hand I totally understand why you just don't see them all that often. I can't believe that they would have survived more than one or two flights. The foam is paper thin so I can imagine how many were obliterated on their maiden voyage. I think I am gonna have to frame them. Although neither one of them are in mint condition I cannot imagine that too many of them are.

I think there's one on eBay now but they're asking like two or three thousand.
