Editorial Review

Cobra, in the world of G.I. Joe, is not an optional health plan that Joe buys into after he leaves his job. Rather, it's an organization of bad guys against which team Joe must constantly battle. And as long as they have weapons like this fierce-looking helicopter, it should be quite a battle indeed. The F.A.N.G. III (love the name) features spring-loaded missiles that fire and posable guns. Attach the included rocket and hit a button to hear battle sounds or check out the chopping sound made by the rotor blades. A tough little Cobra soldier is included with the set so be sure to pick up at least one member of the G.I. Joe team to thwart any evil plan that may get hatched. --John Moe ... Read more

F.A.N.G. 3
NOT AS COOL AS THE OTHERS FANGS BUT A COOL TOY ANYWAY. NEVER HAD THE ORIGINAL FANGS GLAD I COULD GET THIS ONE.

A giant leap in quality!Great job Hasbro!
I have been a 3 3/4" GI Joe collector for almost 20 years now, and I have to say I am extremely impressed at the jump in quality I have seen in the last year.I have purchased both the Fang 1 and the Fang II, and this one tops both of them in quality.The Fang III is well-built, compact, and covered with weaponry.The figure is well sculpted and he fits in the seat without sticking a peg in his back.There are two missiles, two large guns, and a nice sound attack feature on the left missile slot.While the Fang I and II had real durability issues (e.g. pieces breaking, rockets not staying on, structures failing), this helicopter is solid.I have purchased two Fang IIIs so far and I love them both.Don't hesitate to buy the Fang III before it is gone!

A decent addition to the new Joe line
Sound effects, cool paint, good detail, an included figure, and several weapons make this a cool toy.Yes it's small, but it's a good buy for the money.I recommend this toy to add some air-power to your Cobra army.It's sure to harass your Joes.
Weaknesses?The gun on the front is flimsy, the missile launcher under the belly doesn't lock in place and can flop around, and the rotors could be longer and beefier.However the rotors can be folded up, a nice touch.
Still, it's a lot of fun and definitely worth picking up, especially for the price. ... Read more

As a little toy, this is amazing
This toy is fantastic. I own it and several more sets of different toy rifles of the same scale. I'm an adult and it's still fun just to sit down sometimes and play with all the different configurations. Advice: This is a TOY, it DOES NOT fire anything. It is meant to be used with the 13" or so G.I. Joe action figures. It is 3 INCHES long. I hope that anyone who is interested in this toy will read this to get the facts straight because I agree that Amazon does not give a good enough description of this item.

tiny rippin' rifles
I, too, was mildly disappointed when the assault rifle arrived in the mail, and was......only 3" long!Just like those wee children, I was crestfallen!I was only disappointed for a moment, though, when I saw how beautiful this rifle was.I took it out into the woods and hosed down a slew of milk jugs.Man, this tiny little rifle rips on full auto!Of course, considering the scale of the ammo (firing .005 grain cartridges)the extremely tiny bullets just bounced off of the plastic jugs.But it put the fear in them, you betcha!I can easily see using one of these babies for home defense, should one be attacked in the middle of the night by carpenter ants or earwigs.I wonder if this company makes tiny little tactical lamp attachments and laser sights?Now that would be sweet!

the bad gun
I bought this thinking it would be life size but when it go to my house I was completey frusterated when I got this 3 inch long GI JOE gun. Ihave tried a few toy guns, but this is clearly the worst. ... Read more

the nothing shooting gun
This gun is dumb because it doesn't shoot anything. It should shoot bullets or at least bb's. If guns don't shoot anything, they're stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great item for your collection
I was very pleased with this item. It is well made, sturdy, displays nicely and it was a cinch to put together. Like the other weapons in the series it allows for several assembly combinations, but in this case they follow real action performance criteria (support fire, assault, etc.). Weather you want to collect mint-in-box or to display it with action figures or alone, this is a great addition. I don't believe this is an item appropriate or useful for children (even those who play with G.I. Joes) as it is too delicate and can fall apart easily. The low rating for educational value is in lieu of skipping the rating which the system does not allow.

want a cool new rifle with many options?
this is a great rifle if you have ever seen tomb raider the movie when they were in the second ice cave those rifles they were using is the g36 which is this set, its very cool a great gift or buy ... Read more

Pretty decent base
I know everyone has their own opinion for this base, but I like this base. Its not my main base as the old 83 headquaters is the main base while this one is more like a jungle/ mountain base as the mobile command center is a third base as well. Think about it, with as many Joes as there are out there, they have more than one base of operations. I like the upper floor outpost to take out anything that flys as well as anything that tries to sneak from the distance (nice place to put a sniper). with a working elevator to go to that platform as well as a grapple to go below in case the platform gets "blown up". the gattling gun at the entrance should stop an enemy from thinking of knocking on this bases door. this fort may lack a real computer room but does make it up in a motor pool. though small, it will fit a small vehicle to be repaired. The only thing I didn't really like was the jail cell. Mine at least is very sensitive that when you even touch the barrel (makes it spring open) it opens up, plus its real cramp (though who wants a cosy jail anyways). besides that one detail this is one nice fort that i suggest you take a look at some time.

Buy it if you don't have the 83 command headquarters!!
You read the title, buy this headquarters yes if you don't
have the 83 headquarters. Or you could spend like 60 bucks and
do what I did and buy the command headquarters for your figures or room set up and still be satisfied.....uhmm i think this playset is average at best, the prison that this one holds isn't
as roomy or fun as the one that the command headquarters has....
but like I said, I'd buy it on the account that you don't have
the 83 command headquarters or any other playsets that are fun to use with gijoes......one thing i will say is that with this playset it is versatile with 80's and 90's gijoes and not just the ones from 2000 on.....it's got lots of missiles and things...i think this one comes with extra figures too.....
from the best of my memory the 83 command headquarters was the
coolest thing to have as a kid, i had it when i was like 12 and traded it to my friend ryan for some dumb reason.....but i bought it back last year so it doesn't matter much....
the part i like about the headquarters are the prisons where
you can capture people in.

one of the h.q.'s ive seen since 1992
i think that this is the best gijoe base since the uss flagg,because you get a 8 missle gauntlet,3 missle battle stations,a watch tower electronic sounds,a sniper position,computer room,a brig/jail cell a missle bay, ammo pit. my only complant is not a enough figure room,not a very big cell and motor pool. when my mom bought me one in 1992, me and my friend played with it for hours. ijust have to say that the new head quarters makes the 1983 head quarters obsolite. i know be cause i have the and 1983 hq,dont get me wrong i like all the bases hasbro made for the joes and cobras,itwould be nice if they made another uss flagg base. ...

Pulverizer - Nice toy, the sounds coming outta its right arm when you press down the butten and opeans its arm gets alittle repetive. my 11 year old loved having it fight the defence mech

Ghost Bear - had alitle prob fitting him into the pulverizer and his little knife is easy to lose, hes also not the best looking figure but is nice over all

Overall - hard to break and good toy to send the GI Joes running for the hills, should buy this one ... Read more

Quickly made
For the collectors whose shelves are lined with figures from the different services, different nationalities, and different specialties, you may want to give this one a skip.This is another of the newer generation GI Joes that are quickly made for a quick return.

Although the Joe is good quality, this one is an armament specialist.To be honest, I had never heard of this specialty, but who knows.Second, the figure has the torso-shirt rather than a removable shirt.As a collector, this is disappointing.I am also disappointed that there are no dog-tags.To me, this is part of a GI Joe.

The figure comes with a hat and boots, desert camouflage pants, belt, and a .50 caliber rifle with ammunition.The gripping hands allow the figure to hold the gun well.

Although there are some small pieces, I wouldn't worry too much about them being lost or swallowed.Well, I suppose if a child is determined, the boot or hat may go down.The Joe is sturdy and can put up with some rough play.

I would not recommend this Joe for collectors, but this may be something, given the price, for kids to play with. ... Read more

Defense Mech - Fun toy is a step above the last wave of small vechicles, kinda reminds me of the old exo-squad toys.my 11 year old had tons of fun stomping threw his cobra troopers with it.
Leatherneck - good figure over all only prob with him was his sunglass's where lost in the first 5 min.

Overall - Good buy cant go wrong with it ... Read more
