ALBATROSS did not get his name randomly. As his namesake, he has the same uncanny ability to take advantage of wind currents. As well, with minimum effort, ALBATROSS manages to stay aloft longer, directing his descent exactly where he wants.

"Living for years in a Pacific desert, ALBATROSS found himself in the company of the albatrosses from time to time. At these times, he watched their serene movement, disturbed neither by strong wind nor by waves ... and he learned from them ...."

I was one of the few to choose 25th parts, the first time the Blind Pull project has offered that option. I was a bit discouraged at first, wondering what I was going to do with Breaker and Neo-Viper parts. However, on the plane ride home from the convention, I was reading the Joe Declassified newsletter focused on Brazil toys and comics, and the answer became clear. I was already working on a Sneak Peek custom where I was sculpting padding onto an OG13 torso, the Breaker arms looked close enough to Sneak Peek's (and therefore Albatroz/Albatross), and the Neo-Viper legs were a good match for Knockdown's legs and boots. The head was the least appropriate, but it still isn't so far off as to be unusable.
