I'm on the fence about buying this one, mainly because of cost/space issues.
Maybe my fellow 'Tankers can use peer pressure to help me decide? I do like this vehicle a lot from what I see.

Get it, you'll like it. The front skiis slide forward, that makes it look better. After I opened mine, I knew I had to pick up one for my nephew for his birthday. Great toy for a kid to play with in the snow! It's the modern equivalent to the snow cat. Maybe even slightly better. It should've been in the movie.

Oh and they fixed the green joint problem, no more mismatched joints. I got mine on sale xmas eve, and didn't even see the fixed joints until after I opened it.

Was hoping these might hit clearance after the holidays...now I'm not so sure I'll find one by then. Might pick one up this weekend. Good pics for the review...that's what sold me.

I wandered into my local TRU earlier and discoveres the ROC stuff on sale; I picked up the Sky Sweeper, Mantis, and the Ice Dagger. It's my first version of the vehicle (I skipped VvV since I couldn't find the vehicles anywhere, and didn't much like the figures), and I have to say I like it.
There are a couple of niggles; the loose turret is vaguely irritating but making it a tighter fit could have caused problems with wear. I don't mind the colour at all, to be honest; at least the stickers are solid enough to show properly on the dark blue. I do wish the sides somehow locked into place, though - they keep randomly falling down. Annoying. I might put some nail polish in the grooves and see if I can fix that. As for Frostbite, well. He's quite a let-down. Even the Sky Sweeper & the Mantis, at their lower price point, give their pilots accessories & weapons; and yet Frostbite has nothing. Also, to fit him even slightly properly in the cab you have to hitch up the lower part of his coat like a skirt and shoehorn him in. It looks alright once he's in there, but it does feel silly when you're doing it. And even then his head still bumps the canopy; it barely closes. It's a good thing the head is moulded in black, otherwise I could see paint transfer happening really quickly. Overall, I'd give the Ice Dagger a solid 9 for the vehicle (since I REALLY like it) and maybe a 4 for Frostbite. I do have one question, though: There's a greyish cover on the bottom of the vehicle. Did the original version have some sort of electronic gimmick? It looks like a battery cover to me. Last edited by Draven; 03-16-2010 at 12:58 AM.. |
