Death_at_Midnight Cobra R & D Offline --> Posts: 4,001 --> Join Date: Nov 2008	Greetings brief mortals! Just picked up the following: Mantis Attack Craft Well worth it. The figure is cool, like the Defence of Cobra Island pack Lamprey, but with a removable helmet. The figure does not have a mask, and has a full set of hair... kinda curly. He looks like he could've been in the plans to be a Joe. The vehicle is worth it... larger than any of the previous alpha vehicles. Has two missile launchers (for "torpedoes") and four torpedoes. The "wings" of the vehicle expand outwards to reveal the launchers. The ends of the "wings" fold up. The two propellors can be swivelled. The figure fits snuggly in the cockpit, but only without his backpack. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

For a millionaire, you sure didn't buy much in 2004.
The Mantis is a redecoed Sting Raider from the Valor vs Venom line:

I'll admit I've been tempted to get this, the Sky Sweeper and the Snarler, but sadly I don't have as much money now that I have school, so I have to pick, and figures generally win out over vehicles...

Speaking of which, Rossy had a sale on 25th Joes, and had a restock, so I managed to snag myself a nice Cobra Ninja-Viper.

(I am such a whore for ninja villains)

Tho he's not exactly scrambling for the Bastard Era stuff. As for me, I got my order from DaveCW2. Some of you might remember that list he posted. Well, the early bird sometimes gets the worm, money allowing. So chalk me up for : 2 NiteCreepers 2 Pit Commandos Dave, there's a problem with those 4 figures. Their o-rings seem to have broken and it looks like you fused the tummy and waist together. But seriously, thank you. It was icing on the cake that the PCs had their vests on instead of their bomb gear. Just one thing I don't have to change out!
