Does anyone have any interest in this newly designed Ghost Hawk?

I'm usually into anything and everything GI Joe to some degree, but I just have absolutely no interest in this thing.

I picked it up when it first came out. It's ok that a little moding can't fix. Also the plastic they used feels a little thin. I have had it as a wip in pieces since the summer.

I think if it had been more movie accurate (both in color and capabilities) it could have served as a Tomahawk update instead of a Sky Hawk update. I would have picked that up. I think the lack of troop carrying capacity hurts it just as badly as the Cobra vtol transport from Rise of Cobra. So instead of something that could have been really cool to play out stuff we see on screen, we essentially get a Fang II (or at least the same way i feel about the Fang II), neat but not as cool as what inspired it.

I got it and over all I think it's pretty cool, but like was said, the lack of troop carrying capabilities hurts it. I'd like to have seen a metal rod go through the wing so the wing tips stay on better and the engines rotate at the same time like the Rattler

I had it for a while and I later sold it. It's not a bad design, and it's not a bad aircraft at all, but it's not the best I've ever seen, and I can't really see it as an extension of the Sky Hawk/Ghost Hawk. And while I can't speak for anyone else's, the wings on mine just would NOT stay put. Try to pick it up by the wings and the rest of the aircraft stayed on the floor. That got just a bit annoying. Granted, this is nothing a bit of easily-concealed glue couldn't remedy, but I ultimately just decided to sell it and use the space in my apartment for something else.

I was briefly tempted to get it as a scaled dropship for my Halo Mega Bloks figure.
Then I decided to keep my $15.

This thing had potential, but I can't get past the fact that it looks like a cheap toy, rather than a solid joe vehicle.
