One of the coolest G.I. Joe accessories that I recall from childhood is the Turbo Copter. Basically it was a one-man helicopter backpack.
Recently a Brazilian company reissued the Turbo Copter (as Turboćoptero) along with a figure.
I was very close to ordering that set, until Cotswold parted out the set, with the backpack selling separately.
I had an idea for something more than a basic Adventure Team figure to go with this: why not a Cybernetic Explorer?
Behold!
Today’s delivery!
I was thinking of naming this guy Bucky, since he has a cybernetic left arm, but I’m going to shorten it to Buck.
Buck’s outfit.

Ready for action!
Some assembly required…
Prepare for take off!
Airborne!
Test flight successful!
“Next mission, Commander?”
