I guess I just really liked the Star Brigade when I got into collecting. I’ve had Gears for years but I never had…

By far this is one of the oddest looking vehicles in the original Joe lineup from 82-94. This holds 3 figures one in the front cockpit, one behind that and one off to the side. The wheels don’t line up and it makes this vehicle just look odd. The glider bomb however saved this oddity. A bit before its time perhaps but this would make for a great drone…
