Yeah I think with the Dewback, they wanted to try and make people feel they were getting more than they actually were. You don't even get a figure and it has a tag higher than the recent release that did come with a figure.

Another negative for the standard box sizes the toy industry has had to go too. Most if not all toy lines are going to waves that limit the size of the box. So the designers have to make something that fits in that box rather than make something that is just good.

The Dewback was a Wal-Mart exclusive item. So it was a signed on deal, not a wave item.

It's the same size, they just made the tail rotor section removable to fit in the box. Like the cockpit/nose of the Skystriker was separate.

Got mine today At TRU. No new figures yet.

Even though I wish there was some way to secure the figures to the seats, I am really pleased with the new "Eaglehawk". I'll definitely buy at least one more.

I do plan on attempting to attach belts to the seats on the one I have now, likely with velcro to close the two sides or some 1/6 buckles I have, and I may add a troop strap to the open sides.

At first, wasn't quite sure if I should have bought one. But, once it was out of the box, it was definitely worth it.

Only problem I'm having is I'm just not seeing it as a Joe chopper. Considering I have my BBI helos for the Joes, this fits better as a Cobra transport copter for me.

Found one at TRU and opened it up this weekend. Haven't had a chance to sticker it up yet, but I'm glad I ordered another from SmallJoes. Great, great update.
