Just curious since Yojoe doesn't have this listed. Has anyone else seen a Stinger with black doors, roof, and rear engine details? This one's missiles also have detachable, gray tails instead of being solid red.

Sounds like your stinger has been pieced together from various sources.

Missles sound like they come from the Pac-Rat Missile Launcher

Roof and doors sound like they come from the TRU Rattler 4WD

If you posted a pic it might be easier to tell exactly what you have.

I'll get a comparison picture up in a few minutes. Those are the missiles, but this box art shows them on the Stinger. Granted, it's just box art. The roof and doors could possibly be from a Rattler, but I doubt the engine details are.

The box art for the US release uses the same image with the 2 toned missiles as well the pic of the toy on the back of the box. However, I do not believe it was ever actually released with those missiles in any country. I could be wrong. It has happened twice.

The one with black doors also has a slightly darker chassis.

Parts could have also come from the UK Cobra Attack Jeep. But I think Kamakura is right that the doors and engine detail came from the Rattler.

The UK Jeep has gray parts.

Tiger Force, uh Stinger thing (Tiger Paw?) also had black roof and doors, so you could have those on there. that may actually be a bit more likely than the Rattler 4x4 come to think of it...

No, that was the first thing I checked. The VAMP and Tiger Sting have a sunroof over the driver.

UK Variation also came with different wheels as well.

As far as the doors, I think Kamakura nailed it.

I was a lazy bum when it came to vehicle variations. Sorry.

This is actually the Stinger mail-in and a legit US variation. I'd double check to make sure yours is the same as mine, but I gave mine to my brother a long time ago. Yeah, the parts you have could have been pulled from elsewhere, but the US mail-in had black doors, roof, and rear panels.

This is most likely as Pat said, the US Mail-in variation Stinger Jeep. Here is a link to a picture of mine (I opened it myself a few years ago, and the strange thing is it came with the Stinger instruction sheet, and the Road Toad instruction sheet..)

I have been schooled. I have never seen pics of the mail in Stinger before and had no idea it was different. Thanks for sharing your pics Drew.
