My kids recently bought me the Pursuit of Cobra AWE Striker for my birthday. It's a very cool item, but I felt like Hasbro kinda missed the mark on a couple of things. I ended up giving it a new paint-job, but that's a different story. The driver, Night Fox, is another Navy SEAL and a Hispanic character. I've always thought the Joes needed more diversity within their ranks, so I'm always happy when Hasbro gives us more characters of varied ethnicities and nationalities. My only real problem with the figure is that they gave him a masked head. Really? Another one? Seriously? A smaller issue was that the gunbelt would not allow the tactical vest to sit properly on his torso. I solved this by dumping the gunbelt in my fodder box. It's a very cool accessory - and it will work well on a different figure.
Parts: Head (RoC Tunnel Rat), Entire figure (PoC Night Fox), M4 rifle (PoC Jungle Assault Duke). Last edited by Sgt Humpty; 08-29-2012 at 03:12 PM.. |

I like it and likely will steal it. I haven't had a chance to open mine yet, but I know I have an extra tunnel rat head lying about.

That looks really cool. You've improved the figure 10 fold. I've been wanting to get this vehicle for the figure. But like you, the masked figure puts me on the fence. It just seems lazy.
But I think I'm going to get him and swap his head out, thanks to this.

whaaaaaat?? Thats the Tunnel Rat head? Damn I never thought Id use if for anything due to his eyes, which now obviously can be fixed. Nice mods to Nightfox I dropped the gun belt off of mine as well. A+

Looks nice. I managed to get my Night Fox's fest to fit ok with the gun belt, but I might end up just removing it like you did.

The gunbelt is an awesome accessory, but he won't sit in the vehicle properly with it on. I decided to save it for some future custom that needs a kick-ass gunbelt. LOL. |
