Gyre-Viper has posted images of a 1st shot of the highly anticipated Sky Striker XP21F over at JoeDeclassified which we’ve mirrored here. Also included are images of Captain Ace. Not too long ago, we received DCPI and pricing information from Target. For many fans, this is already the highlight of the GI Joe 30th Anniversary line, having been at the top of many fan wishlists for years. It’s been a long time coming!
The new images show the following:
- Fuselage now detaches aft of the canopy, resulting in a smaller box and footprint on retail shelves
- Wings and horizontal stabilizers are now detachable(hah take that, drop test!)
- Vertical stabilizers now feature a sturdier connection in lieu of small tabs

Must be "new G.I. Joe" season... Gyre-Viper's got some great pictures of a test shot for the upcoming Skystriker over on JoeDeclassified.

Some AWESOME pics. He's posting the images so the consumer can make an informed decision...and its helping convince me. this thing looks awesome!! Love the added tooling in the cockpit, and Ace looks totally bad ass.
Love this.

I just bought a vintage Ace to pilot this thing.
CANNOT wait.
Edit: After seeing those pictures, there is zero doubt in my mind that I will have at least two of these.

Bugger that is awesome. Is there any word if this is the Starscream version of the Skystriker? I've varying degrees of truth about the cockpit and one having one seat and the other having 2?

Talisman says
That is the sexiest thing I've seen in a long time.
What a naughty, naughty girl the Skystriker is.

Gyre always finds the coolest stuff. He even found a proto Megatron for the Starscream Skystriker!
I have to admit, for a second, I thought that one photo showed an in-flight meal tray in the Skystriker
KingBiohazerd says
Must have a couple of these!!
