How do you like...
... the Joe Ghoststriker X-16 (http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/93/ghoststriker)? And... ... the Cobra Liquidator (http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/92/liquidator)? I never owned any of them - in fact, it's not been a long time since I first new they actually existed!They look like real fighters, that's all right, but the color scheme is horrible (IMHO) and the plastic seems so... Cheap! If only those were corrected (or at least the color scheme), I guess they'd work all right... But I'm not one to say I'd like to army-build them... The GHOSTsriker is no SKYstryker, if you know what I mean... What do you think of them? Did you know these jets already? Last edited by Shin Densetsu; 10-06-2008 at 04:26 PM.. |

FYI the links don't work because question mark is part of the link. One can always copy and paste though.
These came out after I was done collecting vintage Joes. Never was really impressed them, and the same holds true now. They're just OK. |

The planes came out towards the end of the line, which is the reason a lot of joe collectors don't know about them. I think the Ghoststriker is great, I just wish it was sleeker, and that the Liquidator was bigger. The Ghoststriker managed to shove a bunch of gimmicks within, but did not come out like a bloated plane with tiny wings, like the Thunderwing. The Thunderwing has similar gimmicks, but it's proportions were compromised severely in comparison. I'd love to see the Ghoststriker reissued, but it has not been released since the mid 90's. I'm not sure if Hasbro still has the old battle corps vehicles molds. I hope they do, as this jet was definitely one of the best RAH jets and overlooked by many. If it came out with no neon, and in Conquest colors, or in low viz, it would be awesome. It is also neat considering that it is an F-16B or D, and prior to joining the G.I. Joe team, the F-16 was one of the first planes Ace flew in the Air Force. The version of Ace that came with it is the most realistic version made too, it came in military colors, an accurate flight suit, and came with a fighter pilot helmet. |

They're not bad, nothing special though.

I love the phantom. They could have done better with the green and made it silver or just black.

I really like the Liquidator and hope Hasbro re-issues it colored like the Mirage jets in "The MASS Device."
Here's a custom someone did of it: JoeCustoms.com > Vehicles > Cobra > Cobra Dragonsnake I would so be all over these if Hasbro made them. |

I have the Ghostriker. It has the ability to shine images of Cobra fighter planes on the wall for you to shoot at (it has sound effects and lights too). One of the images is of a Cobra Rattler which I thought was strange because the Ghostriker came out in 1993 and the Rattler in 1984.

I had the Ghoststriker. I loved it because it was a great plane and I LOVE the F-16
