Thrilled that it is being re released. Not many top five lists out there that this vehicle is not on. And I'm a massive fan of Hasbro tweaking old skool molds (the Flight Pod, VAMP and Sky Hawk notable examples). Reducing it to a one-seater is okay with me too, there were no Joes that had 'Radar Intercept Officer' as a military specialty. But I have two problems, one old, one new.
I hope HASBRO is listening! 1: The new problem. It looks as though the pilot is lying down in the cockpit. This is not necessary. I've fitted some pretty bulky figures into the vintage Skystriker and they can sit upright. 2: The old problem. The swing-wing/landing gear needs to be independent so that the gear can be up when the wings are extended. This is the only legitimate complaint I have ever had for the original. Hasbro have an opportunity to correct this, and I sincerely hope they do. |

The jacket is not a removable piece. The torso was originally slated for release on a movie-styled Cobra Commander (Jungle theatre).
