You realize if G.I.Joe planes existed in real life in the scale they come in, in relation to the action figures, they'd all look a lot like this.
The flying boat concept is cool in a very Cobra sort of way. They're even Cobra blue. Gotta give them points for trying. |

That, or they were so short on raw materials and time that they ended up making a mockup that's about 30-50% too small. All that having been said: If Hasbro cranked this out as a new Cobra Jet, I'd totally buy one. Last edited by Jmacq1; 02-12-2013 at 07:05 PM.. |

I think that's the point (of the "G.I. Joe Toy" comments), the Jet looks like a real-life version of "Joe Scale" engineering.
