While doing my Christmas shopping I stumbled onto this little gem at Target. It's sold in a rather generic looking blue and white striped box with a clear front that displays the toys and accessories. The only labeling just says "Military Play Set" and sales for $15.00.
The aircraft is a very sleek futuristic looking fighter. It has two separate cockpits each capable of holding a GI JOE. SPC Altitude fits in there with full jump gear still on. The jet is armed with 9 missiles and a forward mounted mini-gun. Paint apps are simple. OD Green plastic with some black and brown striping for camouflage. The decals are a bit distracting, I plan to take them off and replace them with some extra GI JOE decals. Two buttons behind the rear cockpit activate different sound effects and cause LEDs on the jet engines to light up. I am very pleased with the fighter jet, especially since I prefer futuristic designs over modern aircraft. The three action figures and their guns are completely forgettable. Poor paint apps, very limited articulation. They are just malformed plastic blobs compared to 25th and ROC JOEs. The motorcycle, fuel barrels, gas cans, and ammo crates (?) are keepers for dioramas or displays. If you're into hanging things from the ceiling the parachute would look great with SPC Altitude or Hit n Run hanging from it. Last edited by Bujo; 06-16-2010 at 08:57 PM.. |

I was thinking the same thing about it kind of looking like an Avatar plane. I'm seriously debating getting one of the Avatar Scorpion gunships.

That's because it is the S6 Firebat with a few modifications and an upscale.

Yup, some one on here made this into a really sweet Cobra Custom. If it was easier to navigate and find things on this site, I'd post the link. Hopefully someone here will find it and post. It's a really cool custom job.
I've yet to find this jet at either of the 2 Targets in my area. |

I looked around to see if anybody else had posted this, but its so generic its kind of tough to guess where it would be posted or titled.
The missiles mounted at the cockpit can be taken off. Just remove one little screw. The Avatar Scorpion gunships are great. I did a review of one, and there is one other review as well. They are a little snug for JOEs. I have Lady Jaye and Tripwire as my Scorpion pilots. |

I want about 6 of those plastic parachutes, obviously I'm not gonna buy 6 of those planes. Are there any cheaper sets that include those chutes?
