Dantalion: Nice pics. I can't wait to get these, but can't stand the names. They'll always be the Moccasin and Sky Hawk in my book. ZARTAN: Lift ticket has mutts legs

First time I saw it too Gung Heaux thanks for finding it.
They both look sweet, but Lift Ticket has kind of a cheesy grin, oh well I guess it's similar to the original figure. XVoodooDollX: Quote:

Same for the Moccasin.
Those new names suck. VIPER 48: It's cool to see both of these being made for this line. I plan to get 2 of each. Never had a Skyhawk as a kid, but i did have the WM, and it was one of my favorite vehicles... blndweasel: I was wondering how they were going to fit the water moccasin into that tiny vehicle package.... looks like it BARELY fit! Tracker: I definitely want theses  JoeFanatic: First time I've seen these posted here, both vehicles look amazing and can't wait to add them to my collection. I never had the Moccasin or Sky Hawk as a kid so this is my second chance. Also, what is so bad about Lift Ticket's legs being Mutt's legs, look ok to me. vengecore: I posted this update this morning in the news and rumors forum. Batmandk02: Most Impressive!! I will have these!! M.E.A.T. VIPER: I never realized Harland Williams of " Half baked " fame was a licensed pilot and a member of the Joe team . Pictures don't lie though Liftticket is indeed Harland . 
I fed the horse !! MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA: is it just me or do the vehicles seem goofy and small next to the larger modern figs? (armadillo, fang, sting raider, etc...) The Albino Ice-Snake: This is the first time I saw these in box.
Thanks!
Both look cool.
I will get both for sure but I kind of wish Copperhead had long sleeves like the classic.
No big deal. Still a great set. Nekoman: I’m loving both.
The water background also looks quite nice. The WM looks even better though. Bernit69: Quote:

Justin TripleCP: I'm just glad the color is right...the one on BBTS looks green. satanshollow: I loved the WM as a kid. We had a pool back then and I was always playing with that in it. I even glued it to make it more waterproof lol. darthdoug: Why is hasbro changing the names on everything. It's really starting to PISS me off! These are by far the best vehicles yet. I want the Tomahawk though! (of course, they'd rename it the whirly-bird or something stupid like that). Jinx723: Quote:
Originally Posted by firmpulse mutt legs are the new duke arms | What's wrong with the legs? I think they are an awesome "NEW" sculpt/ mold. The only thing killing it, is the Viper lower torso wasn't designed for these legs. Same thing happened with the '86 Roadblock waste that was used on the OG 13 comic packs a few years back. I like the new legs and they're perfect for Mutt & Lift Ticket. Squirrel Lips: These both look good. It looks like the fragile parts (landing gear, fans) are a lot more sturdy than the OG's. I can't wait to get them both. DPrime: When, oh when, will Hasbro stop applying stickers in the factory? Half the time they look terrible. spacemonkeymafia: Quote:

(of course, they'd rename it the whirly-bird or something stupid like that). | Simple...they no longer own the name.....really does it matter at all? Gatchaman: Don’t know if someone already mentioned this but did you notice the burn marks from the front guns on the "Ghost hawk"? That looks awesome. Think it will make it to market like that? If so that would be cool. Just wish they did that on ALL the vehicles they released so far. That’s the kind of attention to detail and realism that the new GI Joe toys need. Probably won’t happen though. DPrime: Quote:

Gung.Heaux: what the hell happened to the moccasin's grey lower hull? that was a nice touch, detail-wise. Agent-GHQ: Hasbro sured made some improvements on this sculpt! Lifticket appears to be using Mutt's parts??
Overall, an awesome addition to our collection! davticon: They look so cool, but i have a doubt......if Lift Ticket comes with the Skyhawk now, so, it means that the Tomahawk will not see the sunlight in the 25th collection? MikeyT: Looking forward to these as well. I had a couple of the WM but never had a Ghost Hawk. They look great. spacemonkeymafia: Quote:

I can't wait to get my hands on both of these vehicle sets, as I still own a original water moccasin with Copperhead. That is the only thing I will be calling it by the way. That sure does look like a snug fit I hope nothing gets damaged in shipping
I never owned a sky hawk it was never that impressive to me. I do love the look now even with Lift ticket looking like a joker. darthdoug: Quote:

How could they have had a copywright on the figure in that image and the vehicle of that design with that name and it no-longer be theirs? Don't copywright laws last 50 years?
As for if it matters... maybe not to you. Doesn't make it the same for all of us. Yes, I'd prefer the tomohawk not be named whirly-bird. I'd like the water moccasin to actually be named the water moccasin and I'd like Mainframe to be called Mainframe. Call me cookey!!!
I bet HASBRO sold off those rights for a quick buck! F-Hasbro!!! spacemonkeymafia: Quote:

I bet they're rich!!! |
