I'm not very good with reviews anyway to be honest it looks like a f-117 nighthawk, but unlike a really nighthawk the tail section slides back and the top half of the plane opens to reveal a missile launcher on either side. On the bottom it has a little mini-stealth landing pod that comes off the bottom of the plane. I have to say over-all it is really nice vehicle with really working landing gear unlike the night raven were the wheels don't move. I would give it a sold 9/10. One of my favorite new figures is flash I just love everything about him and the crimson neo-viper both worth picking up.

Does anyone remember the name of the original mold for the Hydra? Looking for pics.

The name of original two version were the sky sweeper jet it was released in 2003 and again in 2004. He is a link to the original version and on the page is also a link to the 2004 version:
http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/03/skysweeper/. The one thing they took out of this version is the sound attack feature which I have to say makes me happy since most engine sounds that come from vehicle sound like an electronic fart and weapons sounds are somewhat better, but since I don't know anything about the sound attack weapons they could have sucked as well.

Thanks bro. Wanna hear something funny? This was one of two VvV vehicles I was going to buy for my 25th Joes before I found out they wouldn't fit. Hasbro is killing the secondary market by slowly releasing retools of these new mold vehicles.

Tigertracks I have a question you picked up the dragonhawk, what I want to know is it modern day version of the dragonfly or something completely different.

NOpe, I did not get a Dragonhawk yet. I wish, but not yet. It looks to be a totally brand new mold/toy from what I have seen. BUt I have no first hand experience with it...yet.

Dragonhawk? You mean the new Dragonfly mould?

This thread was on the front page of HISStank.com a while back.

Well I picked up the target exclusive rhino today I didn't know the vehicle was this sweet. I have my wild bill from the comic two pack piloting the helicopter, and I have tiger force flint in the other drivers seat.

Now you just need to load it up with some Pit Commandos! I hear the RHINO has quite the figure capacity.

I was hoping for a retooled sigma 6 version, ah well. There's always the sequel.

I read the review of the Dragonhawk you posted. IDK Wild Bill without a helmet although he's shown with one on the box, no trigger for the blades, and it doesn't fit on the PIT. Anyone get the PIT?

I will get the dragonhawk next month. I went with six figures a crimson hydra and the rhino unstead of the crimson hydra and dragonhawk. Yes the rhino does have a lot of room for figures I have figured out it can hold about 11 figures give or take two. I also have to say I like the cobra commander figure not the 12" even if you get a better look at the face with that one, the figure looks like what I kind hoped the next generation cobra commander would look like, since he is supposed to be disgruntled ex-scientist and all.

Ill bet the movie ends with falling into a vat of nanoites and that's how he'll get his traditional body armor.

Isn't that, according to the bios, everyone's on Cobra's origin?

FOund the 1st Wave of Target exclusive $9.99 figure/accessory packs today. Bought the EEl and sled, and the Air Viper (claw with repainted AVAC). Skipped Snake Eyes and bike, and Grand Slam and flying wing thing.

Isn't it the jet pack that the air viper comes with? SE comes with the cycle and not SS?

True nanoites are involved in the origin of most of the Cobra legion, that's why it would work with CC. I can't believe that's the CC we'll have for the whole movie.

NO Grand Slam's wing is not a CLAW, I read at his that it is from VvsV and came with Barrel Roll?

I believe SS gets a bike in a later wave.

And I also found a grey variant Paris Pursuit TImber/SE.

Yeah Grand slam comes with a glider. The Cobra jet pack I mean is not a claw and has pivoting weapons. It was supposed to be released with the Air viper in the same wave that had SS cycle and the SNAKE armor. You know what vehicle they should reissue? The one with the rolling saw blade. That was cool.

Well there is a rumor coming out of paramount right now that there may be a cameo towards the end of the movie by everyones favorite cobra emperor. If this is true I figure it will be like the nick fury cameo in hulk and iron man films after the credits roll something will happen.
