I think the most obvious thing about this toy’s design is the fact that it was originally intended to be helicopter, because it is for all intense and purposes a helicopter without rotor blades. There are also stickers to apply, which I love, and if you’d rather leave the Gunship more movie accurate, you could leave the Cobra emblems off. You just need to load up the bombs and pop in the missiles. Pretty much everything else comes already assembled. The box is actually significantly smaller than the actual toy, as the tail boom has to be locked on into place. The back panel shows off an actual photo with some of the play features detailed. There’s a window on the front to show off the included Firefly figure, along with an illustration of the toy in action. Its a simple box with some angular corners to make it stand out. The packaging for this line is pretty cool. What’s even sadder is the Walmart here never put out more than a few cases of figures beyond the initial wave assortments. I can’t figure out what the thought process is behind that. Now, they’re on clearance for $7.00 a piece. They didn’t even sell them for that much when they first came out! I even scanned one to see if it was a label mistake. A few weeks ago, they were at an unprecidented $9.98 each. By the way, what the hell is Walmart thinking with their pricing strategy on their Rise of Cobra figures? For the longest time, they were selling them at $5 a piece.
