 Post subject: ID a Joe Vehicle?

I was going through some storage boxes this evening, and came across an interesting find.

It's an Armadillo Mini Tank, not assembled, sealed in a plastic bag. No evidence of instructions or labels.

The color scheme is a molded-in camouflage pattern, primarily tan, with streaks of black and gray.

I'm reasonably certain it's a Convention Exclusive, but I'm drawing a blank as to (a) when, and (b) whether it should have instructions or labels.

Details, anyone?

Yep, that's it. Thank you, Dremel. And obviously it doesn't have labels. Now I just need to figure out why I never put it together -- easily remedied, obviously, but still...

That looks nice, I don't have any version of this thing.

Like the purple Dreadnok Cycle, this thing is available in the Club store. I like the "marbleizing" of the camo pattern. The Armadillo is such a great little "troop" builder on the vehicle side.

Put it together last night, and yeah, it's easily one of the most impressive versions of this vehicle, which I've always liked. The molded-in camo pattern overcomes the lack of labels, and I didn't even really need instructions to figure it out, although keeping another already-assembled Armadillo on hand for reference did prove useful.

What a great problem to have!

"Hmm, why is this unassembled Joe vehicle here?" Sounds like a good day to me...LOL

I'd snag a couple but it's not the retooled 25th version. Although... I wonder how it would look with the 2007 convention figures. Since we didn't get the actual Tanks in our Tanks for the Memories sets this might make an easy and affordable substitute.

The cammo on this one is nice but as far as armadillos go, My favorite is the original Slaughter Armadillo with the rocket launcher turret in place of the oringinal gun turret. Wish they would remake that Armadillo
