Wow The Dragon Hawk

[obiprime]

The new 2 1/2 scale Dragon Hawk is quite possibly one of the coolest Gijoe vehicles Ever created. It simply looks wicked. I could see many people army building these! But unfortunetly none of our beloved Joes will fit in them, only your M.A.S.K. figures Why Hasbro why?

Whose gonna buy one anyways? Or whose going to Boycott these mini me toys.

I hear you on this, I will be getting one of those and also it should be an interesting rountable this year because I know this question is going to come up.

[revsears]

didn't realize lt. stone was the new pilot. What's wrong with good old wild bill? of course heavy duty flew a copter on the toon too, so specalities don't matter. I can't really say to much, they didn't in the old sunbow toon either.

 

I have to confess, i would have bought one in 3 3/4 " scale.

[Jack]

I like the look of all of those small sized vehicles. It would be nice if Hasbro would make them in the 3 3/4 scale and sell them online.

[steel bonnet]

That Looks Great & CAN STILL work for 3 3/4 figures,just not a 2 man crew

 

Just take out the backseat of the front chair & a little creativity & I think a 3 3/4 figure will fit in that

 

A Piloted "Terminator Hunter Killer" eh LIKE IT

if hasbro would of made them for our joes we all would of bought them up. but im boycotting them just like S6 8in. hasbro sucks i wish we knew what they are triing to do with the joe line.next year is the 25anny for joes. man i hope they get there s**t together.

[DPrime]

If boycotting them means not buying them, you can count me in. It's too bad this wasn't bigger - if I could fit my 3 3/4" Joes in there I would have bought at least one.

No it can't. Someone took pics with a 3 3/4 figure in the cockpit and unless you rip it apart and used a ton of plastic to expand the cockpit it couldn't fit one of the bigger figures.

 

It's bad enough that DTC Wave 4 sucks, but it just adds insult to injury that this 2.5" line is getting these cool vehicles.

[Sgt. Smith]

I'm sticking to the 8" guys. I could have tolerated the 2.5s if the figures were articulated.

I would have considered buying the 2 1/2 scale, but the articulation sucks donkey balls. It's set the line back 30 years.

Face it their just not compatible. You'd have to make a cockpit from SCRATCH in order to fit 1 3 3/4 figure. Let's face it, it's just not a great time to be a 3 3/4 fan. Although at around this time last year when Sigma 6 was first announced everyone was disapointed and depressed until 3 months later when we first saw pics of the first Wave of DTC figures.

So hopefully Hasbro will give us something 'good' to look forward.

 

I hope.

[JoeRhyno]

lack of faith

 

like I said.. I'm still gonna try, even if that means making my own cockpit... so deal with it

[Snow_Serpent]

Even if these were made for the 3/3/4 line, instead of expressing outrage over the fact they are scaled to 2/5, we'd be complaining about how crappy they are compared to RAH vehicles.

[xhairs]

im telling you we could get better figs out of a happy meal lol. this is very bad. you might get it to fit like steel said for a one man crew.if you mod the hell out of it.

I wouldn't, I think these things are sensational. These come closer to looking like RAh vehicles from back in the day then a lot of the crap Hasbro has saddeled us with in the last few years.

Yeah, I agree. No gimmicky crap to get in the way of the design, a nice, sleek blend of realism and the futuristic look, and a good old fashioned 1982-84 style olive drab paint job... Perfect, other than the fact it's out of scale. I could really see this thing escorted by a couple of Skyhawks.

 

I don't understand how hard it would have been for Hasbro to up the scale a little bit and give us, and the public, 3 3/4" Sigma Six stuff - they already started with the Rhino and all the other stuff, and they could have just released those at retail under the Sigma Six banner if they wanted kids involved. Add o-ringed figures instead of that pre-posed crap and they'd still have the RAH fans onboard. This whole line seems like a wasted effort...

[darthsith]

Sorry, there's just too much great stuff coming this year to get into this mini stuff. The vehicles might be nice but you can't just keep switching scale. I accepted S6 at 8" when they fit with nothing else that I own. Now I'm supposed to dig the 2.5 and dig out my old MASK crusaders to fit into the party. Nope.

[bamboo]

Total ripoff of the Aliens Dropship!

[jedimaster-c]

I think its a wasre of a good vehicle for the 3 3/4 line.There is a Cobra jet that looks amazing,it my opnion.Hasbr wasted a great oppertunity.Way to go big H.

[jasonkimberson]

it wouldnt be bad if they included a changable cockpit where you can change it from 2.5 inch to 3.75 inch

[Viper Hunter]

It's not a "boycott" I've engaged in, by not buying this stuff, even with my lack of interest in Sigma Six! Hell, if that were the correct choice of words, to indicate NOT buying something....I'd have a huge-ass list of toy "boycotts" as I don't collect all that much, I just collect as much as I CAN of one thing I REALLY like, which happens to be the 3 3/4" G.I.Joe stuff.

 

This Dragonhawk looks really cool, but I certainly don't have any "use" for it, so I doubt I'd spend $30+ on it, when I have so much OTHER stuff I could be piling up on, for my preferred scale of G.I.Joe.

 

I'm not trying to "prove" anything by not buying and collecting Sigma Six toys (and now the 2.5" scale) and a 'boycott" is just that...trying to prove something.

 

 

I guess I'm merely monogamous in my relationship with 3 3/4" G.I.Joe...than BITTER about another? @loll@

I think you are somewhat bitter. The root of the issue is that the R&D funding that goes to S6, in the minds of many of the Anti-S6 camp, should rightfully be going to the 3/3/4 team. That way we get new vehicles, sculpts, etc. No Frankenfigures and more new characters.

 

I think it really irks a few users is that Hasbro took away a 3/3/4 line that was lukewarm in the collector community anyway and replaced it with a complete departure of scale/style.

Hard to say. At first I'd have mixed reservations. OK it's cool lookin without a doubt, but lately have been starting to reject the newer vehicles (except the N.O. Humvee! and Sting Raiders!). The vintage RAH vehicles are still #1 IMO. The Night Ops Vamp is garbage. I'd also pass on the new Cobra Firebat. The rest is unthinkable.
