Toy Sightings: Elite Force!

06.05. 2015 – If you’ve been a fan of the 4 inch or 1:18 scale action figures chances are you’ve been into G.I. Joe. But since Hasbro hasn’t been consistent lately or its local distributor in the Philippines you tend to wonder if there are other alternatives. There are selective alternatives to the Real American Hero it’s so happens that some of these are not as par with Hasbro’s quality. But the military toys are not going away so soon...

BBI Chenowth Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV)

Presenting the Blue Box International (BBI) Elite Force Chenowth Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) re-purposed for G.I. Joe use.

This is not to be confused with the more mass-market Freedom Ops Officially Authorized Navy Seals Desert Patrol Light Strike Vehicle nor with the Hasbro G.I. Joe  Desert Light Strike Vehicle that was released for the much larger 1/6 sized figures. This is from BBI and if memory serves me right, he was released with a driver which I probably threw into a box somewhere since all I wanted was the vehicle. Strangely, this Elite Force vehicle does NOT appear in the BBI website nor can I find much about it on Google.
