- New vehicle mold sucks bad with 4 screw holes on the left side
- vehicle is a bad version of G1 size, proportion and look - Tooling completely sucks
- screw holes are where stickers go.. we'll not exactly.. awkward (stickers poorly made also)
- Gun on the front only goes up and down, does not navigate on ball rotation
- no pin on the back propeller
- landing gear material is flimsy and cheap/loose at best
- 4 red rockets that go in landing gear do not go in all the way and fall off
- No figure pegs on landing gear
I can keep going but not worth the time and effort..
If you buy it to be a statue, you could be tremendoysly happy to have it and be reminded of the great F1 version you had in 30 odd years ago..
If you bought it for your kid, it is falling apart after takeoff..
It's not like you can live an adventure of GIJoe vs. Cobra like when we were kids.. because.. you are doing Snake Eyes, Roadblock and Crankcase VS. Hiss Driver, Viper pilot and Destro..
Positives-
The Hiss tank is sturdy and durable
The Awe Striker is sturdy and durable
The Fang is the worst make yet for GIJOE and the guy who developed it, to my knowledge is no longer part of the G.I. Joe Team.. and knowing is half the battle.
Stoned Mustache guy is gone?
Agree on the HISS - It's really well done. I may end up buying another one just for adding to my Cobra Hiss ranks. The retro line was kind of a dud for me due to limited distribution - I only ever saw the Hiss and Awe striker on the shelves. Getting another awe striker did not appeal to me but you can never have too many HISS tanks.
