This looks incredible! I will be limiting myself to only four of these unfortunately... in anticipation of future releases to buy more of!

Looks good. I really like the disassembly aspect (It'll make storing it much easier)


Gyre would have to comment on this. But I get the impression that at least the cockpit portion of the plane is a one-time deal. Meaning once you put it on, it doesn't come off. Well, not without potentially damaging it. Hasbro has done that on a couple of recent items from the Star Wars line such as the Big Millennium Falcon and I think the AT-AT too. Based off what the designers we saying at the convention, the size of the box was a big deal for the retailers. If it took up too much space, they didn't want it. So they had to make it so that it was broken down in to smaller parts than the original. My only concern on that is if the parts will be prone to falling off. I certainly hope not but from the looks the pics, it seems to be solid.

I am going to get stupid when this thing hits retail. I am getting at least 3 and I am shooting for getting the SDCC version as well. Somewhere after that I am going to have to figure out where to put them all. :shock:

Awesome pics, Grye. Thanks for sharing!

yeah because this is an early sample the nose slides off if you tilt it the wrong way.
obviously the finished product will lock into place.

all of the removable pieces fit loosely in a big zip lock bag. nose and wings included.
this thing is compact!

It is beautiful! I just wish they had kept the second seat and the ejectable gimmick, but it's still the best jet in the Joe line since the X-19.
About darn time! Fantastic!
