Title: True Heroes - Air Force Helicopter
Post by: Storm.Shadow on December 14, 2008, 01:32:58 PM

For anyone wondering if these (http://http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=3398639) are to scale with the new G.I. Joe figures here are some quick pics.

While I'm not crazy about the paint and stickers I'd say it's a pretty good fit.  For 25$, I'm happy.

Honestly I don't understand the love this vehicle gets on the boards.  I don't think it looks particularly realistic or well proportioned.  I much prefer a bunch of their other vehicles. 

I picked up their Navy SEAL boat and I am almost finished customizing it for Cobra.  I saw the black F-22 and thought it was pretty sweet.  Also the Black Hawk helicopter is pretty good.  A couple of their smaller land vehicles are great as well, especially the one with the big rocket launcher on top.

Anyway, enjoy it, that is really all that matters.  I know that on Amazon they had another helicopter with the wide open underspace for cargo that some in the US picked up to customize for use with Cobra.  I would probably bite on something like that.

Compared to the Joe stuff, most of the True Heroes vehicles have been flying off the shelves at my local TRU.  Heck, I even bought one of those ground assault sets for 15 bucks a present because it came two vehicles and four figures. 

As for that helicopter, I am not a fan of it.  It looks to small.

I have this chopper, and I love it.  The cargo hold is amazing.  It can hold a VAMP.

It's no more oddly proportioned than the Tomahawk was.  Well, ok, maybe it is a little...

But with a bit of airbrushing and decals, that could look pretty spiffy for Joes.

Personnaly, I love it.
The fact that you can fit a Vamp inside is just extra icing on the cake.

Add some little foot pegs in it and it would be perfect.
