Unless I've been missing something on Evac, thats a nice little retool.

Seems to me to just be a good re-paint job.

It's a great repaint of an already near perfect figure.

Would like to see Evac done in Springer style greens though.

I wasn't sure about this mold for Blades at first, but I think that sodding great rotor makes a great melee weapon. And I'm sure Blades will use that winch cable as a garotte far more than he uses it to rescue people. :twisted:

Actualy I was talking about the rudders, I had no idea they moved.

Well, now that regular Evac can do that too, I don't even feel slightly compelled to by him again.

Well if thats the case...

I'd like to see Reissue Turbomasters and Predator Jets.

:P

Can't believe I forgot about that figure coming with Ratbat!

I prefer Springer, but this one is also very nice.

Agreed...
I think I could definitely pass on this.

In a slightly related topic, I ust saw this knockoff on ebay, looking closer, I realized it's a Predator Jet.

Weird, I'm thinking the opposite. I think it's because grey plastic always looks a bit naff recently.

Like I need another repaint of small little Evac toy.

:???: You DO know it's a repaint of the Voyager Evac?

Comment by Scaleface Jun 2, 2008
I'd buy this mold again and again. How about releasing it as Whirl and as Vortex?

If there's going to be more helicopters, I want a Bell 222. Possibly with hidden guns in the wings, and a missile pod in the belly... :grin:

Nice to see Blades get a decent toy, though I would have preferred his original colour scheme. Maybe the Henkei version, eh?

One question though - is this figure closer in scale to Classics/Universe Prowl or G1/reissue Prowl? Not really sure how large one of those helicopters is supposed to be and personally would love him in scale with G1 Prowl.

Ehh, on Jetstorm and Wingblade I agree, but imo there's a really nice ratio of gray and green (and not too much yellow) on that Springer.
The more I looked at the face on Blades, the more I dislike all the white.

I'm not wasting money on that repaint

Actually, since it is a $20 Voyager, I'm definitely passing on this...
Man, Blaster, Dump Load, Powerglide, and now Blades...
Passing on all of these makes buying 2 of the figs. I want more and more realistic!!

More realistic? The Live Convoy / Evac mold is the best combo of realistic alt mode and awesome robot mode I have seen to date.

That said, I love the mold, and will probably be getting both repaints.
