Unreleased 25th Whirlwind w/ Recondo Prototype in hand. pics.

Thanks to General Joe's for some insight etc on the 25th Whirlwind.
-------------------------------------------------
Pictured: Cancelled 25th Whirlwind, ROC Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun,
ROC Range Viper, Recondo Prototype.
-------------------------------------------------
Ok well... as you can see from the pics... the would-have-been 25th
Whirlwind is no different than/has become the Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun.
Other than some decals, they are identical. Obviously the color is different because one is a prototype and one is not. Heheheheh.
Originally slated to come with Recondo (who as you know wandered into the Attack On Cobra Island packs instead)... the "new" Whirlwind b.k.a. the Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun... is now packed with (wait for it)
a black Range Viper (ethnicity I mean)... and he's sporting metallic green
shoulder and shin pads... hotness. repaint heaven baby!!
both the cancelled proto and the soon-to-arrive-if-not-cancelled jungle gun
are 'stamped' 2003. Optimism holding that the other unreleased molds etc
will be used (hopefully not too ridiculously) in future lines!
anyways... here's some pics. Dawg99 beat me to in hand pics of
the jungle gun... but I figured I'd just post these up since the Whirlwind
never got itz day.

Gyre, do the lime green camo sticker come applied? I dig the concept, just not the stickers. This thing would look pretty wicked towed behind a Stinger.

any decals you see were applied pre-packaging. I did not apply ANY of the decals. so ... yeah... it came applied.

This is one that should have stayed an exclusive Joe vehicle IMO. Not every vehicle can be flip-flopped to the opposite side and still work... this is one of them.

It's cool to see the prototypes, though! Thanks for the pics!
