This is my main concern with the hellicarrier. If it ends up like this, I don't know anything to do with it other than use it for Sigma 6 2.5" figures.

Not to mention that I think you're being generous there on the scale. As I said in another thread, it would make a great vehicle for Warhammer sized figures and vehicles.

I guess the bridge could be removed and a cockpit dropped in the center. It could be a weird attack craft. The more I see the more I don't have a use for it. Just hope the kids don't even say WTF when the Quinjet looks like a rottweiler trying to hump a poodle.

It will make a cool vehicle for those who collect MiniMates and those little Halo figures.

Well I took a tape measure out to check the dimensions against Joe vehicles and found that if the Helicarrier is indeed 3' long it would be roughly equivalent to 2 Skystrikers nose to tail, or 4 Skyhawks in length.

I already stated on Joecanuck that I will customize this into a Cobra Carrier for small aircraft (Fang, Claw, Flight Pod). It will still be somewhat tight, but I think it might work well. Possibly even throw in one Firebat for good measure.

I do hope so. It would be cool to see it work. I don't want to see Hasbro put this out and it just sit there cause nobody wants it. If it does work decently well, many of us will get it.

Could be a selling point...

Street date is today, only TRU is putting them out though.

WOW what a pile of plastic crap these are. No articulation on the waist or ankles. Ult. Thor's hammer is so soft it just droops in his hand.

I guess not complete crap but far from what I was hoping for.

Oddly the hips are ok. Not quite the crap hips we're used to but a better take on those. Both forward and side movement without twisting the hip to go in the right direction.

I saw these today, and the assortment seems to be different than the HTS lineup. It was wave one, but there was a crowned loki, too

Well I went out hunting tonight.
NO Avengers figures anywhere. :roll:
