True Heroes - Air Force Helicopter
« on: December 14, 2008, 01:32:58 PM »
For anyone wondering if these 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.
