Since this is basically based off the US Army’s M1083 MTV, I was wondering if anyone had the intention of customizing one of these into the modified “War Pig” variants used by Special Forces? I bought one from Amazon (still pricey on there but cheaper than Ebay) along with two of the Gyrosphere Blast Vehicles and one of the Textron Tiger RC vehicles. I’ve been desperately in need of some modern armored military vehicles, and I’m hoping these are readily adaptable.

I had the same thought. I’ll get around to it later this year.

I got one of my Gyrosphere Blast Vehicles today. Be forewarned if you purchase these online - the interior of the cabbis non-functional. It’s empty to allow the Gyrosphere room to fit inside. I knew this beforehand, and I’ll build my own interior. I’m assuming the same will go for the Textron Tiger. I don’t know what to expect with the Rescue Rig. But either way, I knew I’d be customizing these. I do like the size of the Blast Vehicle. Does not seem scaled down at all.

I saw one of these yesterday at TRU. I was thinking this would be a good set to mod into the Dino-Hunter playset for SDCC or HasCon.

That would be awesome to see. There’s a lot of potential in the Blast Vehicle. It’s like a cross between the RG-33 (mostly) and the Caiman MRAPs. I’m going to have 3 of these, and I plan on sprucing them up pretty significantly.

The Rescue Rig cockpit looks SMALL. I haven't had time to unpack it yet, but I am thinking if a Joe can fit in it, it's Sgt Stalker v10 sized.

I saw the Gyrosphere Truck at Target and was actually thinking that one could make a nice Joe vehicle. It would of course need paint and some modifications/add ons to make it look more Joe. At least a good shell to start with.

Is the scale right for Joes though? I know the figures are about 3-1/2", and their proportions are smaller than Joes (I bought a few for the heads and they are too small for Joe bodies, with the exception of maybe the 25th Tunnelrat body)... I am interested in knowing if you guys who have bought the vehicles are able to fit Joes in them (I am interested in the trucks and the OG Jurassic Park Jeep)...

-Todd Shakka85 It is still slightly underscaled if you want to use it as an M1083 MTV. Stalker v10 would be about 7'2" based on where his head hits the window. Last edited by Bullneck; 04-24-2018 at 02:47 PM.. |
