Interesting find, comparing it to Skystriker on 3d Joes ( https://www.3djoes.com/skystriker-xp-14f.html ) it appears to be a bootleg modeled from the original Skystriker, the lines are just a little too different for it to have been made from a retooled skystriker mold.
Most likely this is a case of a company getting hold of a skystriker, copying its outer dimensions and making their own electronic toy and mold based on it. Similar to what Chap Mei used to do with their products, like they took a Cobra Moray Hydrofoil and made the True Heroes Sentinel boat based on it. |

That is a New Bright F-14 Tomcat released in 1990. Neat toy. Lights and sounds and came with a headset.
They also released a version that was black and looked pretty cool. |

Oh wow the sound effects it has sound like they were ripped straight out of the Top Gun NES game.
Would love to see it next to a Skystriker to compare the two better. |
