Avatar Helicopter?

[Agent Viper]

Has anyone seen that yet?

It looks Joe scaled, I would like to know.

And the RDA figures, are they joe scaled?

[ender098]

Yes, the Scorpion gunship will fit a GI Joe action figure in the cockpit. As for the other Avatar action figures, they look close enough to Joe Scale. I wouldn't think it would be a stretch putting them side by side with Joes. As a matter of fact, a few of the Marines look pretty cool!

I want to get the figure with the wheel chair to get that prop but he is the only figure I never see. The Helicopter has been at TRU but no where else that I have seen. I might get it if it goes on clearance after Christmas.

Fits some of the smaller RoC figures well and I think an ARAH would fit perfectly.

Thanks Stranger.

It's a cool aircraft. TRU has them. It fits ROC figures, but not all. Female figures fit them the best. Difficult to fit with some body equipment/vests. For me, I couldn't fit Wild Bill in it--too tall.

Shockingly similar to the S6 Dragonhawk. I wonder if there's some licensing there, or if they both claim to originate from some other VTOL concept.

From what I understand the design is from some videogame but I can't recall what one it is. They are both really cool designs and look good together. I'm using the Dragonhawk as the bigger gunship/transport and the Scorpion as the smaller fighter/escort/recon craft.

the sigma 6 resemblence is uncanny but when I saw the scorpion it made me think of HALO Hornet Helicopters!

I'll hopefully be picking one up at the 15 dollar price tag at KMart

I Just saw the movie last night and I WISH the gunships were to scale with the ones in the movie! (Sound familiar? Can you say Typoon Gunship from GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra?) And in the Movie they had a HUGE gunship command module (Graham, you will see this and think "Helicarrier!".) Wish they would come out with that! THAT would be Sweet!!!

[Mysterious Stranger]

The "helicarrier" is featured in the newest commercials. I remember it because I thought of S.H.I.E.L.D. and then the Cobra helicarrier. Something like that, about the size of the FLAGG would be awesome but in this day and age would likely cost over a grand easy.

Gotta say though, I really like this gunship more and more. Its got a real assault/escort feel to it.

Military dark green, tons of weapons, futuristic design--might have to pick one up soon, TRU has 20% off Avatar toys this week. I could see my extra RoC Reactive Armor or 25th pilot Scarlett in the cockpit.

I was just on the Avatar toy website, there's a couple other vehicles that could become Joe vehicles too. If the figures are close in size I could see them as new troops.

IF you have a K-Mart anywhere around......... They are selling the Scorpion @ $14.99. TONS cheaper than elsewhere. Unless you can get a ad and show Walmart or Target. TRU won't match prices I've been told. But thats basically HALF what other stores are selling it for. I do believe its $14.99 + shipping online thru Kmart.com.

OOPS guess the ad says good thru Sat. Dec 19th. Sorry everyone. :(

I just got one from the local Wal*Mart. Assembly is a piece of cake: attach the tail, rotors, canards, weapons pylons, landing skids. RoC Reactive Armor Scarlett took some wiggling to get into the cockpit, I'll try others later. It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
