Got to agree, the CLAW is CRap! But I'm diggin the Fang. Always was may favorite cobra chopper.

Well, bad news is the FANG has a peg for the new style figures, as does the CLAW, I think. Good news is, they are thin pegs...easier to remove.

bad news is, without a back peg...the CLAW is useless.

That would have accomodated either style, as it just flexes around the figures lower torso to hold them in place. I personally never liked those back in the day, but they could be useful in holding figures in place in some applications. Could these vehicles be delivered cheaper without the figures? I remember vehicles without figures a long time ago being at least $3 to $5 cheaper... But then again, mixing poor in with good sells well for them...

You make a couple of very good points there Yorky! I wish the vehicles were available without the figures. Every time I buy a vehicle now, I'm forced to pay for a cr@ppy 25th figure I will never use.
And isn't it typical Hasbro to throw in a junk figure or vehicle in just about every two pack? They know some of their rubbish would never sell if people didn't have to buy it to get the good figure/vehicle in the pack. Remember the mid 80's when you would walk in to any store and all that would be left on the shelf would be peg warmers like Dress Blues Gung Ho and Zarana?

(And though I didn't post a comment at the time, I did like the pic-- Even though I disagree with the underlying message...)

I have no problem with things like that-- If we couldn't all have a little fun around here, it would be a pretty boring place to hang out. We all have our own preferences, and I'm more than happy to respect everyone's!
