I wanted to get the Dragonfly back in 2000 when it was reissued at Toys R Us as part of the ARAH collection, but never bought it. I finally got my hands on it this past spring and love it. Sure the Tomahawk gets all the love but the Dragonfly is not shabby. What a fun toy! It even fits some modern figures(I have ROC Sandstorm in the front, Resolute, Dragonhawk Wild Bill in the back).
Sturdy construction though I know if Hasbro ever brings it back, they will retool it to make it even more sturdier. Look what they did with the Sky Striker XP21F. Hopefully if the Dragonfly is ever resurrected it will have new parts to make it resemble the AH-1Z variant, which is bad ass(and has 4 rotors). The Dragonfly rules, who else likes it? |

It was one of my favorite toys when I ws a kid. I received one for Christmas 1983. My original is long gone but I have since bought a few and also purchased the Street Fighter Heli-Fighter and tan 2000 version.
Here's a pic of my favorite version nowadays. Last edited by spiderpumpkin; 10-02-2012 at 04:15 PM.. |

One of my favorites also, and the AH-1 Supercobra is still my favorite Attach Helicopter of all time. My Dragonfly is long gone, but I'd love to see it released again.

I had few of anything Joe, but did get a Dragonfly. I don't have it anymore but still want one.
I am big on thinking Joe should move ahead with it's vehicles, but since I don't think the Dragonfly has a modern re-peg it would be a good thing to have one re-release in the original colors and an updated wild bill with a removable hat.

I had always wanted a Dragonfly when I was a kid but never got one! I did pick up the 2000 Locust and love that thing. I've also picked up a Tigerfly in the last few years, but the original has always eluded me. I would love to see Hasbro release a new version, but if they don't I will be checking for one on the secondary market.
