I received my vintage Mamba from eBay and finally got all the decals appied. A couple were missing from the sheet, but they were small. I put two decals in the cockpit that were supposed to be in the pods, sometimes I take liberties with decal application. (In case anyone was wondering.)
I never had this as a kid, no one I knew had it, so I had no idea how cool it is. The pics on Yojoe are cool, but nothing like having it in your hand. I'm being very careful not to go nuts over vintage ARAH, but it's hard not to. My wife said I could get anything new, 25th, movie, etc... but even she is starting to ask me if I want a FLAGG or Terror Drome... !!! Anyway back to the Mamba, the four main missiles on the side can get a little weird and crowded, especially if you follow the instructions and put the four smaller missiles on the tops of the pods. But I moved them to the underneith like the pics on YoJoe. I took some pics. As you can see the 25th Joes fit okay, better than the ARAH in fact... (it's because they have the double jointed knees.) Here's the vintage Gyro-viper, his nose is scuffed because his helmet is tight and scrapes it when it goes on. I'm going to sell him on eBay, because I no longer like the vintage figures. He even has an un-cut file card. |

What's cool is it has two bombs that have a thumb release "trigger" and the big missile on the bottom has a release claw too.
I knew about the big missile, but not the two bombs! That was a nice touch.

The knob and gears are perfect, but the part where they attach to the blades are stripped, I'm going to glue the blades onto the pegs to fix that.
