I have been waiting for a decent Leatherneck and, finally, it is here!

For the doubting Thomas in everyone, here is a close up of the price tag and code. Obviously, KZ did not waste time getting these out. In hindsight, they could also do away with the tag had they known that I was passing by ]:)

Nice Art. Notice something peculiar? Does Leatherneck rely on his being mean enough to steer through the bars?

This has got to be the best mugshot Leatherneck ever had. It is a pity that the write up is sparse. .Mil people can be more creative than that in as few lines ]:)

Straightforward but something new here.

Hasbro used twisted paper instead of twist ties. Clever.

Too bad for me as I have a use for those.

Lest you forget, the accessories are taped to the bottom.

Vorsicht! This bar easily pops off and I almost lost this. A little blutac and the job is done. Another problem is the peculiar observation in the box art. These bars interfere in turning.

If you are familiar with the original Ferret, the handle bars turn in unison with the small guns up front. With the lack of the said forward guns, the handle bars just turns rather loosely. It is quite annoying as it rattles. The square part is where it attaches to the traversing guns.

..and this, is the firing missile launcher with obvious reference to the contemporary TOW, albeit a little small. It resembles an insect with it fold up legs.

With the TOW missile launcher installed, it is half-decent. Throw in Physics, however, and the shock of launching will over turn the ATV. Probably even break off a sizeable section. I’ll look for a better weapon system for this station.

I will have to put up a separate second part of this review for Leatherneck in a few hours.

In conclusion, the Tiger Claw is Highly Recommended!

If you have trouble getting this, just head on over to online stores like Big Bad Toy Store  to reserve one or two online.

I was going to do just that, anyway.
