GI JOE Dragonhawk gunship

It's my opinion, and I have nothing to back this up, that some of these ROC vehicles were left over from the Sigma six small scale and just rebadged. The Dragonhawk is clearly such a thing.
And it's just as clearly a piece of crap!!!!!
The 10year old in me says "it's ok" And it is an ok toy.Just not in any sense a good toy.
BUT, it comes with a Wild Bill that is 1 accessory away from being perfect. A Dang helmet (and not a tiny one like before) and Wild Bill ROCKS!!! Ok, that's it for the good stuff. Well, it is a tough toy. Mostly, the gear will break, the rotors are tough to put in and easy to put in wrong the first time.But the toy will hold up to play. Good thing, because it will spend a lot of time crashed and burned.
The toy is ugly,misshapen,clunky and small. The gun is a joke, like a fire hose nozzle stuck in a near useless angle. The rocket pods are tough, neat,multishot and UGLY when deployed. The deploying lever is UGLY. In a word, this is just ugly. And compared to the Cobra Razor it sucks.
It's kinda like an Apache, and we know there was no way to do an Apache in an affordable way, (BBI made an awesome Apache that was expensive). So what Hasbro should have done was reissue the dragonfly Huey Cobra looking helo. And they would sold like hotcakes. (HOW do hotcakes sell in your neck of the woods?)
I got mine a TRU on sell for under 10 bucks.I figure I bought Wild Bill at premium price but he came with a cool accessory
