warning this may be pic heavy . just arrived fresh in the post
ok this is my first time getting a stinger aka fang boat since I was a kid and even then my original one was the tigerforce repaint. This is a nice repaint of an old mold the only non stickers on this are the cobra logos on the storage pods and the bottom of the boat. the driver is amazing if they could only have made him properly I would army build the heck outa them he really has a feel of the old original Swamp viper from the Arah time. not the AVAC repaint from the POC line. all in all I give this a solid 7 outa 10 and just for those worried the crapastic launcher is removable just need to find a replacment side cannon can anyone answer me if a vintage stinger cannon will fit the 25th version ?

It should be a crime to sculpt so awesome a figure, and then give it no articulation. Serious jail time.

Got this a while ago and I pretty much agree with your assessment. The launcher only bothers me in so much as it is, once again, bright red. If the colour was more muted, it could vey easily be explained as some form of torpedo launcher system.
Not sure why they re-cast the engine shroud, making it shorter so the thumb-wheel is acessable, as it creates a bit of a cavity behind the gunner station.

The colours on this "fang-boat" seem really good.
The launcher seems too obtrusive for the overall vehicle aesthetics though. Good to know that it is removable. The sculpt of the figure is so good. Shame, to see such wasted potential. |
