Close-to-Joe stuff
« on: February 16, 2004, 01:37:55 PM »
Has anyone else been intrigued by the Justice League Javelin 7 aircraft by Mattel? I picked one up today @ Evil-Mart. Very cool looking! Kinda reminded me of a Hurricane VTOL (similar colour even). Reasonably well sized for Joes. The cockpits are a little big, but are probably not beyond hope. It will make a good custom vehicle, when I have time to do such things again. But it doesn't make sounds, unlike the manufacturer's assertion. (What? No Sound Attack?  :wink: )

Here are some pics:


Review here, but I think the reviewer is being a bit generous.

Also, anyone still interested in or want some old Corps! stuff, like the Parachutist or the Mountaineer? Or that jet-glider thing? I just discovered some today.

I also came across a whole bunch of Corps! Star Force two-packs @ 3.99. Great custom fodder and some look uncannily like the Cobra Astronaut in Image Comics GI Joe #2.

The vehicle does look like the VTOL but I don't think I can use it as I don't have any more space for vehicles.

As for those Star Force Corps, I found a crap load of them at a store for 1.49 CAN.  I found 6 different versions but bought only one for now.  Not bad looking figures from that Star Force line.

Which store had them for that low a price? I might look around locally if I have the same store.
