G.I. Joe Classified Beamish-Style Weekend Vehicle Poll - #7 - Falcon/Viper Attack Gliders

[DetectiveHoag]

That thing doesn’t look particularly aerodynamic. If those are supposed to be jet engines, there is nothing to keep the pilot breathing. I think I’ll stick with the CLAW. Pass.

 

[AceofKnaves]

I absolutely love that weird jet pack.
Gimme!

 

[docsilence]

Eh, I'm struggling to properly display or use the CLAW so I'd probably prefer not to buy this one. Though with a proper flight stand I could be swayed.

Yeah, thats my only criticism of the CLAW, no flight stand. I'm sure they're sitting on a mountain of Starting Lineup "dunking action" stands, throw those bad boys in there.

But this jet pack is impractical in all the best ways, as COBRA is want to do. Include a helmet so the operator can breath and not go deaf in 40 seconds. Yes. Bonus points if its in Iron Grenadier colors.

Day 7 - Falcon/Viper (RAH) (11/30/25)

Two hang-gliders with names later used for people!

Those are cool, but I'd rather hold out for the ones that came with the Air Commandos in the '90s. That way we can also get Skymate and Sky Creeper.

This sounds about right.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Yes Sky Creeper and Night Vulture > Viper pilot.

I would buy the Viper, though.

True story: a hang-gliding accident killed Crazy Legs in my childhood collection. Poor guy never recovered from the crash. (I'll skip the 1/12 hang gliders. They were amazing as kids but I'm old and don't have the time to go chasing runaway figures in the woods when the wind takes them.)
