So I picked up Ghost Hawk II yesterday.
I was really surprised, for 20 bucks it's quite big. Nearly 2.5 times the length of the AWE. Only about 4 inches shorter than the Sky Striker. Now the down side, the decals are messy and the neon orange missiles are pretty bla! LV |

The decals take some work, but I think they look good when you get them on. The orange missiles are unforgivable... but it does make it match the Havoc.

I gave up on most of the decals, but I dig the vehicle non the less. It's fun to play with and is pretty durable...my 3 year old son loves playing with the thing and it's taken a bit of a beating. The top wings pop off really easily but they go back on just as easily.

Agreed, I was really surprised with the size of the GHII. I do wish it held more than one figure though, it would make a great transport type vehicle. And yes, the orange missiles really detract from it.

Technically doesn't it hold 2? 1 in the front and one in the trunk?

I put mine together last night, and am in complete agreement on the decals. It is another product where the effort is greatly appreciated, but the execution isn't perfect. My other complaint is that it fell apart so many times while i was putting the decals on, I almost threw it across the room. The thrusters and top wing fall off with very little effort. Otherwuse, the size and detailing are awesome, it definitely makes me with they had put a similar scale into the ROC Dragonhawk, that could have been a fantastic new helicopter if it didn't seem so tiny.

I was under the impression that it was the same size of the Black Dragon VTOL. But its big, pleanty big! If CobraStickers.com makes a set of decals for this thing it would really bring it to life.

I think you can fit two in the "trunk". It really needs a bar seat back there. I'm working on customizing one to seat two in the front. It will be tight, though. I also dropped those stupid mega-pod racing engines on the wings and trying to make the build in rocket launcers into engines. I wish they had made it look like those images we have seen online with the engines on the wings ala the Howler.

The Ghost Hawk II was a very pleasant surprise for me, and has become one of my favorite vehicles. The missiles are the only thing ultra stupid about the Ghost Hawk II, I left them all back in the box.

Nah, not counting the pilot, he is referring to the back being only able to carry one person. This vehicle would've been perfect if there was more room in the back for at least 2-4 figures through. |
