"Swoop in, swoop out, and fence the goods before the mark knows they're gone!"
Sky Creeper was released in 1991 under the Air Commando subset. He was neither in the ARAH comics and in the animated series. He was in Devil's Due G.I. Joe Special Missions: The Enemy. Sky Creeper is not a glider enthusiast, even though he made his first glider at an early age. He is a criminal plain and simple. Gliders are just lets say his "getaway vehicle" after a heist. Sky Creeper learned about Cobra from a Dreadnok while serving time in the big house and now he's in charge of Cobra's Air Reconnaissance Troopers. Sky Creeper consist of: Head; new sculpt Torso: Snake Eyes v58 Arms: Cobra COmmander v53 Legs: Snake Eyes v53 The parts used by The Club work very well. Sky Creeper looks very much like his ARAH counterpart with a nice upgraded look. There isn't much in the accessories department. Due to this year's theme Sky Creeper comes with a glider from Snake Eyes v51. A vest from Snake Eyes v58 and a pair of machine guns from Baroness v14. Once again The Club gave us another ARAH character to check off of the ARAH to Modern Era list. This is one figure I would highly recommend to add to any collection, whether you're a completest or not. The head sculpt is excellent and I am glad The Club didn't go with the yellow googles as the original. I know many aren't to happy that the helmet is not removable. But for a Cobra how many actually show their face outside of Cobra's High Command? The only drawback on the figure is that there's a lot of yellow and it's painted. They did a decent job, but yellow is a pain in the @$$ to paint when your base coat is black (or any dark color). Once again if you have the means to get one buy all means do it.

I finally opened mine. I find that his glider falls off too easily and the leg clips pop off his leg very easily. The vest strap on the back also covers the backpack hole. But I do really like how he looks.

There was only 3 figures I liked from this con set and he was one of them. Sucks that the helmet is not removable, but it's not a deal breaker. Knowing how the club and Hasbro likes to reuse head sculpts anyone have any ideas who else could be made with his noggin?
