The bad thing about the Dragonhawk is that it is seems a clear homage to the Dragonfly - but now it only seats one, with no room to carry any other joes even on the skids (no skids on the 'hawk!). The size is appropriate, as attack helicopters are usually small and agile. Realistically, aviation companies have long toyed with the idea of a single seated helicopter but most nations realize that the inherit vulnerabilities of choppers means its better to have 2 people in the cockpit rather than one.

I like this chopper. But much like the gobra gunship I think its going to take a few after market paint apps to really make it shine. (Engines, tail rotor, and tail wheel for starters)

Awesome update for the Locust. Hopefully they will come out with a 2 seater chopper for the joes - even if it's echo class.

This is a new, different animal. Even the "Dragonhawk" name is likely more holding onto/reusing the trademark from Sigma 6 than anything else. Last edited by Jmacq1; 08-06-2009 at 10:22 AM.. |

I have seen pics of it next to the night attack chopper and design wise they match perfectly.

The night attack chopper holds around 5+, not sure but I think its 3cockpit, and at least one each side in the back maybe 2 each.

I'm sorry, I just have to ask again...what's the big deal about only holding one figure? Why is this such a sticking point for some folks?
It looks good for what it is, but overall, not just with this vehicle, I'm disappointed by how small most of the vehicles are, vehicles like the SHARC and Gunship in the movie going from 2 seaters to 1 seaters(in the cockpit) in the toyline is disappointing. |

I like it, since I can't get ahold of the now $129.00 1:18 Apache I will go for this! With a coat of Army Helo Green it will look sweet! How articulated is the cannon undernieth..doesn't look like it moves that much?

...can't figure out why the Rhino's chopper can fit two comfortably and this one can't! Aren't they about the same size?! What I WANT to see is Hasbro retool the Sigma-Six Dragonhawk to fit ROC figures, because THAT would just be totally bitchin'! ;)

Anybody know where I can find a Dragonhawk? Any Tanker willing to help me out? I'd be willing to pay price + Shipping + whatever we can agree is fair. I would really appreciate it guys. Thanks.
