Good to know but im not too surprised given the hisstanks windows and that plastic in general i thought i was gonna break the interior seat off the wall when i Finagled it out of there i felt lucky i didnt ..

I opened 1 of mine and assembled it didnt play with it much yet .. i do like it and am glad that i have 2 of them .
The black and red are perfect together ..

Swamp Skier is just set dressing.
It isn't a practical vehicle.
Some would see it as something that would be desirable if they dip more of their foot into the Dreadnok motorpool in which face then the set dressing becomes more meaningful.

I think it is one of those things where the idea of a Swamp skier works better than the toys representing that concept did.

But I don't think it is alone in being a Gi Joe vehicle that one might look at a bit fun in terms of design and practical use.

How many Gi Joe vehicles would immediately kill their operators with missile launch back wash for example.

By chance did you have a stress mark on your trailer hitch? I've only been able to open one so far, but noticed it on mine out of the box when I flipped it over to put the wheels on

Call me stupid... but I don't get this meme AT ALL. Is the guy crying? Having trouble reading what's above him? Is he in pain? Someone has to explain it to me...

The wolverine would if they were shooting @ something behind them .. 12 missile exhausts straight to the face !!

Compiling all the Joe vehicles that would be veritable death traps in real life could be a fun exercise. The below always gave me a good chuckle.



So many vehicles would quickly or instantly kill their pilots / drivers, lol.

I don't see one on mine. And to be fair I don't know if the marks were already there on the door hinge, but I don't want risk anything.

You're just seeing it a bit out of context. It was used in a post directly below another post which could be considered lengthy. Like Defoe is looking at the above post crying. But now that I've explained it the joke lost it's joke.
