Any help identifying this helicopter or where to even find one would be greatly appreciated. Crazy I could find a photo of it yet no mention of the brand or anything that helped locate one. Thanks in advance.

I want to say it was from these BBI Elite Force Combat Command sets at Target years ago, not their realistic lines, but this kid-aimed line that had underscale vehicles and dumpy looking figures. Their Hind gunship debuted in that line.
But the line is poorly documented online. And it may not be from that series. So many silly small toy copters were made by companies over the past 30 years. There's another line I can remember but can't think of what it was called. People found the modular building sets from, they were all the rage 20 years ago or so. The figures and little vehicles that came with, not so much. Eversparkle sets, that's what they were. Can't find much info about them, besides there were some beach themed set at TRU once. The copter may not be from that, either. Chap-Mei made mini comanches, too, but that doesn't match theirs that I know of. Last edited by Sean_C; 07-16-2023 at 09:39 PM.. |

Found something close.
https://market.yandex.by/product--vo...B8%D0%BA%D1%83 I have no idea if it would be safe to order from here.

Cool. My first guess was right. I never could find any pictures of those particular sets or cardbacks with references to them.
Yeah, they are uncommon on Ebay. Where did they all go? Target is a big chain, seems like there'd be more out there. And they were issued in the sets above, too (which I do not recall). No one thought they were worth hoarding for reselling...except the Hind copter set. |

So I found out where these come from. It's an old BBI Elite Force line stealth helicopter which sadly, I can not find anywhere. If I do it's probably crazy expensive and I was going to cut it up for a custom so that will give me pause lol. I've seen the one you posted here and may be able to use it but yeah, that site gives me anxiety lol. I'll keep looking for now.
Oh and this is the photo of the boxes they came in. You could scale the paper model to the desired size. Then cut the pieces you want for your custom out of styrene using the modified paper model as a pattern.

Ghost Rider, why don't you use a Jurassic Park 3 Comanche Heli Sabre thing.
Those things are always available. I can't say the same for this one. Wild, I've never even seen this thing at retail and I was here during the entire Elite Force relaunch period.

Might try 5 Below. My son picked up that Elite Force copter for his Fortnite figures.

I wanted that copter set too. Passed on it, and it disappeared quickly. It was one of the '14 relaunch wave, but unlike a few of the other sets it didn't make it into a second wave. I still want one of those if they turn up for a reasonable price.
