G.I. Joe Valor vs. Venom Cobra Night Adder with Wild Weasel Action Figure Vehicle Playset

I am writing this review to voice a contrary opinion to one of the above. This is one toy that makes sense to have a handle. With the handle, you can actually make the plane fly along and gun down helpless joes on the ground. This is similar to the patriot grizzly, which was also an excellent toy. My only complaint is that the missles were not controlled by a trigger as on the grizzly.Also, the wild weasel figure was nice, it was great to see they rescued the poor guy from Built to Rule land. All in all, a very fun toy, much better than shipwreck's boat and much much cooler than the tigerhawk.

I'm not going to say much about this new Cobra jet, but what I will say is that this vehicle is a welcome addition to the Cobra air force. Playwise, its got room for 2 figures and comes with an awesome rendition of Wild Weasel, a classic pilot from the old 80's Joes. It has a rotating gunners cockpit, 4 reciprocating guns, retractable wings, and a firing missile launcher. Working lights and sounds are an added feature, so you really get alot for your money. This toy is fun for both kids and collectors. Buy them up and give the Joe's new Tigerhawk plane a run for its money.

Why does Hasbro insist on putting handles and grips on the bottom and rear of thier toys? This takes away from the look and feel of the toy. Take the Night Adder. Where the landing gear should be, you have a handle so the person looking at the plane can "fly it" then pull a trigger to make the rear cockpit spin. I personally would rather move different features on my own. The Addre does look cool. But Hasbro let us down with this one. Think about it before you spend your money.
