Rulz:
Well, I know Gyre and maybe others have review this one, but I just wanna share some pictures here. This vehicle is so cool as the Dreadnok vehicle and I have to say that I really love the POC details, its awesome ! totally love this...





the art box is wonderful IMO

and the FC is in several languanges, its at the left and right side,
and at the bottom of the box





pics continue..
Rulz:








Also got the background as diorama set, which is awesome as city strike line. Storm Rider got no stand base, only a gun and a power blade that should be attached to the Doom Cycle.
Rulz:








the details on the cycle and the figure is awesome, the reason I like this so much..
rosales416:
cool vehicle and i love the box artwork
Rulz:




the jacket is awesome, its writen Dreadnoks Australia,
and the tattoos details.. ooww can't say more
Big IV:
This might be one of the few Joe toys I will pay full price for while buying more than one. It is awesome. It is completely over the top weapons wise, but I'm fine with that. This looks like the Joe version of Rodriguez's mock movie "Machete."

Thanks for the review. I'm glad the box is a dio again. I liked that with the Walmart stations last year.
700block:
that jacket is cool.
JohnnyAngel77:
I'm really excited for this one. Big 'Noks fan here and I think this one looks great all around.
fireflyguy:
I'm going to pass on this one. I was never a big Drednoks fan. But I will say that it's not terrible looking, and I do love the detail on the figure.
Outbackk:
Figure looks cool but not sure the name fits the Nok image.

agree with you, for the new characters at this modern era I think we got plenty of Storm...
mmm.. Ice Storm... SandStorm..
and now Storm Rider... whats up with Storm ???
Jeffrozup:
I assume with the bi-lingual wording this didn't come from Target like the other Alpha vehicle spottings?

yeaah its GI Joe Storm line.. hahay..
Redredly:
I have a feeling that these things are gonna fly off the shelves. I could easily see non-Joe collecting kids snagging these also. I really like this toy.
nighthawk:
Just wondering, how does the box size compare to the 25th Anniversary vehicle boxes?
RockEd Out:
Love the dreads, this guy fits great and the figure detail is excellent, definitely going ot get this.
THE RED SHADOWS:
can anyone make out the file card? I cant read it
Phweep:
I will buy this just for the figure. The tricycle will be up for sale soon after.
Trooper13:
Sigh. I LOVE the figure. HATE the trike. I may wait and see if someone puts him on ebay.
evilanimation:
elbow joints are black WTF!!
Monkeywrench:
Thanks for the pics. I will get the nok for sure but i don't want the bike. Not sure how I'm going to go about it yet
miscreant:
Can that multilingual packaging be taken as a sign of a European release or POC?

Or am i hoping for too much?
Das Tier:
Looks great. I love the Noks as well and I will get one of these as soon as I can find them at retail.
cyclonus8:
Anybody have a parts breakdown on the figure? I can't I'd any.

Lower legs and feet look like Tunnel Rat.
CobrasUsedCars:
I will by this for the figure and I don't hate the trike, but my Noks only ride ArlenNess and Storm Rider will too

I believe it's the 5-pack Shipwreck body with a new head.
Mr.Kane:
Nice pic's. Dont know if I want this guy or not yet. Waiting to see if it comes to retail then i will deside.
CCTFW:
must buy at least 3 of these for my dreadnoks...... guess i can use the stormrider as a generic dreadnok thug. Why oh why cant these things ever come to the UK.
CobraElite:
I'm going to really enjoy getting this one. Looks great.
2pacnacho:
I liked this figure when i first saw some pics of it. Can't wait to open this up.

Kinda' doubt they'd make a D-Nok shorty... Joe 5Pk #3 Shipwreck Body, with new head., and W2/3 Shipwreck hands...(looks to have a full clenched fist)

I'd completely IGNORE this, if I didn't have several cases of the 2 pack vehicles on preorder, regardless, I'm sure it'll be harder to find the vehicles than the figures, so I preordered 4 2 packs so I can get my 4 "Skyhawks", the other will be trade fodder, cause it's crap... But Someone out there will want the scoot... Have at it.
rfarrell22:
WOW!!! I had No interest in this originally. The jacket, Tattoos, and mohawk are awesome. The motorcycle still does nothing for me.
vermillion21:
Still undecided about this ...
SNAKE EYES:
Thanks Rulz great pics and review.

If you get a chance take an upclose pic of Storm Riders face without the bandana.
SteelCity86:
When I originally saw this in a little thumbnail on another site I hated it. But now that I can see it in detail its pretty tight. The fig is just awesome. That jacket? C'mon now, gotta love that. The bike isnt bad, Im not in love with it, but maybe I can put it up with the Beachhead/Rollbar, Snake Eyes, and SS bikes from the ROC line and make a little suttin with them. Certainly cooler than SS's bike.
pud333:
Love the figure, hate the bike. I think I'll wait until someone has one of the figures to sell after they stock up on the bikes.
Baron Samedi:
Wow, that figure is awesome.

Now, I can tell you that bandanna is going to go to my custom Cobra Trooper, and those arms... well, I know a certain Marine that would look awesome with those sleeves.
Unclassified:
wow, this figure is way doper than i expected.. i actually like it more than the bike i think, not that i was all nutso over the bike, but i still was gonna accept it in my collection..
xxxx:
i really like this,will be picking one up for sure.

Steel Brigade:
Thanks for the pics & closeups!! I like the file card, figure, & bike quite a bit... good stuff!!
SNAKE EYES:
Thanks Rulz
Trooper13:
Hasbro needs to make a tshirt of that Dreadnok crest on the back of his jacket. That thing rocks!
Black Swan:
Add another one the 'Noks ranks. This one is a definite win. I can't wait for this to show up.
dcooper:
Gotta get that Dreadnok. I wish they would do a 5 pack.
JokerFC:
Im really looking forward to this set.......one of the highlights of POC for me.
Life4Dreadnok:
I love the Dreadnoks. Will probably get two for my Dreadnok cycle gang.
iowastate89:
does any one know if the shotguns are removable
