Thanks man! I love em too!

Ironically, the local distributor of Mattel here never brought in the 4-inch dark knight line which consisted of a very basic tumbler (no play features both in black and in desert camo), the shift attack sports coupe and a few playsets scaled for 4-inch figures.

Given that the 5-inch figures just ended up being pegwarmers and that the stealth attack tumbler (w/ batpod) was so expensive, I would have taken a chance on the 4 inch scale line as that would have probably sold better due to a lower pricepoint.

I asked people who have gone to HK and Sing to look for this but they didn't have any success. So, since they weren't available here nor in the usual travel destinations within the region, I had to source it through a former classmate in the states who gladly bought it and gave it to me as a Christmas present! ;D

Nah, if I'm not mistaken, I've seen other collectors on other local boards that have it. But thanks all the same!

Yup the Sports Coupe came from the U.S.

The Jedi Starfighter with hyperspace ring is the 30th anniv collection version (TAC).

Here's the latest custom project collaboration between myself and Digit: The Dreadnok Jungle Cutter!

I picked up one over the holidays when it went on sale, and I thought that it would look perfect for the Dreadnoks, who usually hang out in swamps and marshlands that would have dense foliage....

V2 assualt: yes, I had it painted. the toy itself was nice to begin with and when I looked at it again, I realized how it would match the Dreadnoks well! The concept here was that the Dreadnoks, being the scum that they are, commandeer some derelict jungle cutter, paint it (vandals that they are!) and use it in the marshlands and jungles of Cobra Island.

@qb: thanks man!

Well, at least the Joe HQ is now guarded by 25th anniv compatible Sigma 6 Iron Hammers!

Here is the complete sequence of progress pics for my latest project: The Cobra Banshee!

I got the ship loose, but just for reference, here is what the original looked like:

this is actually the prototype picture released by Galoob

However, the actual toy didn't look like what you see above. The real toy looks like what you see below (although this is a boxed pic - couldn't find a loose reference pic of the actual toy)

the blue/green color was terrible, an eyesore to look at. the other problem I had was that the toy wasn't complete. the two rear fins were missing.

In terms of deco, the original concept was to use a colorscheme to make the tac fighter look like this:

I always did like the color scheme of that Sigma 6 jet prototype for the Joes. However, I thought the color scheme looked better suited for a Cobra vehicle.

That's basically how the concept evolved.

And here are the wip pics leading up to the final outcome.
