Sweet haul! I have the Stinger and it's an awesome toy! Extremely jealous over the Raven though as I've always wanted one.skywarp408 wrote:I got Thundercats, Lion-o, Mumm-ra and Panthro from Time Traveler and MASK Stinger, Iguana and Raven here on Transformerland. I got these actually last week
My "non-Transformers" haul for today: 25th Anniversary Tripwire and Airborne MOSC. I just need Sgt. Flash now to complete the 25th single carded lineup.

Interesting. I pulled my MOSC Airtight down off the wall and read through the filecard on the back. No help on the weapon name at all. So I then began checking numerous reliable sources: gijoe.pedia.com, yojoe.com, joeheadquarters.com, exc....and then I ran across this:
http://www.mygijoe.com/shop/1985-AIRTIG ... M-GUN.html
Apparently the gun in question is known as a "Sniffer Vacuum Rifle." And I'm assuming it serves a dual purpose. Airtight being the Chemical Warfare Officer of the G.I. Joe squad would obviously have used it to remove airborne pathogens and toxic clouds from hostile areas. But he has also been seen in various episodes firing that same rifle at the enemy. And as a footnote he also comes equipped with a 9mm Beretta.

Picked up a 25th Anniversary Comic Pack (S.W.A.T Officer) Shockblast!! Comes equipped with 2 semi-automatic pistols (both are hidden within his side holsters in the pic.), gas mask and helmet! The hat he's wearing is also an accessory as it's removable. Totally bad-ass figure! Just what the Joes need to infiltrate the Terror Drome! Or extinguish a riot!

The extremely rare (and pricey) DTC 2006 Covergirl arrived today! This is the best rendition of this figure to date and was only released as part of a comic pack that included Spirit and Hannibal towards the end of the DTC line run. Sorry about the first pic. Had to turn off the flash because it blinded all her features but it appears to be a bit too dark without it. In the second pic you can see her inside G.I. Joe HQ'ers next to the satellite dish.
