Odd figure choices with these vehicles. Next up: the Mauler with Keel Haul. In the same wave as Devilfish with re-colored Ace Figure

You right, because putting a pilot with a flying vehicle is "odd". If they have no intention of making the Tomahawk, I see no problem of putting Lift Ticket with the Ghost/Sky Hawk. I definitely looking forward to both of these vehicles.

Sometimes names are changed because the original is too common. It's easier to copyright the "image" or likeness of Roadblock than the actual name "Roadblock" which is why we have "Lt. Torpedo", "Double Clutch" and the like.

Also if they aren't going to produce a Tomahawk. Lift Ticket makes a good choice for a Skyhawk pilot. Other than Wild Bill, he's the only other helicopter pilot whose name I can remember. I think he's the 3rd or 4th most popular pilot in the joeverse. After seeing him, I wish I could of found one of the Elite Force Pavehawks on clearance.

yeah, Lift Ticket seemed like an odd choice at first, but I guess he's one of a handful of pilots, and the odds are probably pretty slim we'll see a tomahawk, so he was a safe fill in for the SKyhawk. Beats the alternative of no figure...

3. Littlest Pet Shop is now Smallest Animal Store
4. Mr. Potato Head is now Spuds McHeadey
5. ...and last but not least: Transformers are now Gobots

Sorry, I couldn't resist poking fun at these name changes...

yeah! I also heard that GI JOE will be changed to China Joe

that sucks about the name changes.

If I remember right, didn't Lift Ticket pilot the Tomahawk helo? Now that is one vehicle I'd love to have re-issued. But most likely, Hasbro lost the license to that too. Never mind, we can still keep the old names in our respective joeverses.

I want a Tomahawk helicopter!
