wait did the pilot just eject from his plane to take a closer look?

oh lord, someone needs to cut the joes funding if they are that wasteful.

i remember when my mom got the skystriker for my bday, and then my stepfather got me the same thing, not knowing my mom got one. they returned one of them back to toys r us.

damn them for cutting my air force in half!

i wonder why cobra never had a true fighter plane? the always had bombers and copters.

I remember when the toy companies would actually advertise their products without relying on a freakin movie.

i was fortunate to have the ratler and the skystriker, but had a nice 3 year old little brother who at the time, went to town on my Joe toys while i was at school. So by the time the raven came out in like 86, I no longer had neither of the two planes and only had the raven with no Joe airforce.

I remember when the commercials matched the release of the toy. You could see the commercial go right to the store and there it was. Now a days u see it and if it hits stores at all it's weeks to months later.

Sky Striker looks to be a decent interceptor/bomber, but the Rattler's vertical take off capability and ground support ordinance make it more versatile. Hate to say it but Cobra's got the better machine.

@ReverendSyn sounds very cool!

The Skystrike is getting a re-issue this year

A special redeco of it will also be available at SDCC 2011 painted up as Starscream with a Cobra Commander figure
