I got the Fang copter in the mail today and it actually is better than what what my expectations for it were. It looks really nice to me all stickered up and the missiles fit tight on it. My figure had perfectly fine articulation and no tight joints and is sitting in the cockpit nicely. I actually like it better than the 25th Fang I used to have.

I fall into the "not rewarding bad design" camp.
Skipped the FANG. Skipped Duke, and not going out of my way to find any of the other wave 3 figures. |

I guess if this is how the FANG had been designed in the 80's then people would like it now and not the older designed FANG.

I think this new FANG will hold up better with the more solid design.

My only small gripes are the glue used on the stickers and the softer plastic used for the landing skid. Other than that, it's a lot of fun. My kid loves it. |

With Hasbro making this more of a true gyrocopter, now it looks too Chap Mai to me. They couldn't add the extra 5¢ of plastic to make the tail a little longer like the vintage /25th one. Oh well. I'm glad some people like it. Maybe this release will drive down the price of the 25th Fang on eBay and I can get an extra one or two on there.

The only thing I dislike about the new Fang is that the tail is too short.

I prefer the 25th version, always have. It's one of my favorite vehicles, which is why I bought ten lol

I think maybe some of us (me included) are used to the “a bit out there” design aspects of “some” of the ARAH vehicles. If I was a Cobra Trooper I would be hesitant to hop on the skids of that vintage FANG but we made it work playing ha. Sometimes we are resistant to change. It does look too chap-mei for my tastes when Joe has always been kind of the anti chap-mei for so long.
