Topic Summary

Saw this on an image search and had to track one down. Not heard a lot about Boley. I think they're relatively new to the toy industry. They're based out of California.

The box is pretty simple. I've seen three repaints of this already. The full black version here, a green camo version (like in the other thread), and a black and red version. The flat black is my favourite.

The tank on the back lacks the detail of the jet.

The less said about these cunts, the better -

I guess the accessories are worth keeping though -

The bike might be better after a repaint. Some of the guns aren't oversized so will probably be ok with Joes.

Now then! Onto the good stuff!

I absolutely love the design of this. It's like the S6 Firebat only in a better scale. The quality is great. I'd rate it in between Joe stuff and Chap Mei.

Only the underside missile is removable, but I count that as a plus.
It features working landing gear and rolling wheels. Yeah, this has rolling wheels but the RoC Night Raven didn't. ::)

The twin opening cockpits aren't very detailed, but are a perfect fit -

It also features lights and sounds. The rear engines light up. It's not as cool looking as in the pic here lol

I dunno if the batteries on mine are low, or just that the sounds suck balls. There's a tinny generic firing and flying sound activated by the different buttons.

And finally a comparison shot -

All in all, I'll give this an 8 out of 10. I love it. It's a fantastic toy for what I paid for it (£8.99). It loses points for the crappy sounds and figures, but I didn't buy it for those anyway. The stickers peel off easily so customisation is easier. I'm just waiting on a few stickers and my version will be finished.
