Thanks, Rick. Since I don't have my GI JOE fig's anymore (sigh), I went off
of memory. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

Yeah - the back of the Hasbo version had what *I* thought looked like troop
doors molded into the shape but that's all they were... =/ Annoyed the tar
out of me. Cobra always seemed to have second rate stuff I thought.

Ew... I hated those guys... about the time that Battleforce 2000 and the
rest of the silliness began, I was getting out of GI Joe. The days of the
MOBAT, Sky Striker and Dragonfly were long past as were the best days of the
toyline. Though, I've noticed in the past year or so that they're slowly
bringing these classics back at TRU in small numbers and in different colors
schemes.. the more things change, eh?
