Just thought I'd let you know :D

Thank you sir, you're a gentleman and a scholar! It does me good to know my ninja based humor can make it beyond the relm of G.I. Joe reviews.
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I can't stand H using Clutch's head but the figure itself really works for me. The green, black, and tan are great colors that go well together.
You can never go home again, Oatman ... but I guess you can shop there.

Swap White Out's head with Tomahawk's head and you get your very own Frostbite, and a snow dude who remembered to shave.

Good idea on the head swap.

I'm still looking for this ship. I'm hoping that pretty soon, my Walmart will clear out the ROC Alpha vehicles and stock the POC Alphas. The ROC Alphas are still clogging the shelves.

I think of these new Ghost Hawks as more of a gunship variant. The classic Sky Hawk style makes a good escort, scout/observation and air to air combat with ground support capability aircraft, but the new one, gets down and dirty and really brings the fight to Cobra. This one can fly in low, hover and just lay waste to Cobra troops and vehicles. It is well armed (and the original was no slouch) and is good at dealing the pain.

Also, I'm an Army builder, so not seeing the pilot is not that big of a deal. So far I have 3 of each.

I hear that. I'm looking at it right now and it just screams airborne first strike vehicle to me. I can picture a mixed squadron of helicopters and Ghost Hawks just swooping in and laying a 6-pack of hurt on a Cobra position.
Eye in the sky, going high! Gung-Ho Joe is going low.

I bought two of them to match the weapons. Putting the dual rockets on it really makes it look mean.

I don't have a Clutch or a Lift-Ticket, and I love the Tomahawk base figure without the vest (which is itself rather awesome; I've got plans for it), so believe it or not... Tomahawk is one of my most wanted figures!

I just don't want to buy the vehicle. It looks awesome, but it'd take up too much luggage space, and I've already got a Pit and about 75 Sigmas in storage in the States so it'd be silly to store it.

Anyone wanna trade or sell their Tomahawk figure? I'd actually like 2 or 3 of 'em.

Darn, I had an extra one before Christmas, but during Christmas break, I was toying around with him and then found a head and now he is Updraft.

What head did you use? I scored two Tomahawks this summer, but he turned out to be decidedly more sucky than I thought. I had to use two belts to obscure those child-bearin' hips of his, and I used an Ace head and the Jungle Ripcord vest (its green trim bits are a good match for Tomahawk's dark green clothes) to make him look cooler.

Since I have no space (or money) for vehicles, I've decided to pay tribute to some of my favorite vintage vehicles with custom figures (loosely) inspired by cool old vehicles. Accordingly, I turned my Tomahawk into "Dragonfly":
