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.

These employees of the Seibel Helicopter Company demonstrated the S-4B to the Army Air Training Department at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in 1951, and it had no foot pegs either, but they hopped on the skids and made it work (like the Cobra Troopers).

The Chap Mei comments hit the nail on the head for me. While some parts of the FANG look improved, the overall aesthetic looks cheapened. It doesn't work personally for me, but I'm happy for anyone who enjoys it.

Found my second LJ at Walmart Clearwater today. This is the second restock in a week. Still no Fangs. I'm only going to get 2 of them. Love the Box art so want to keep one sealed. Not thinking I will like the copter and almost sure I won't like the figure. I would like to get one to open to judge for myself though.

It would be nice to know something about the future of this line and the 4 inch scale.

How's it looking at WM? Any figs out there? I haven't bought a Joe at WM for several months now. I got my fill of W3 in February, and I can't pull the trigger on that Fang.

I have actually been pretty lucky with the Retro Joes in my area. I think I saw the full wave 3 about 4-5 times.
