Sharkmouth Apache: Photo wanted

Post by grunt1 » Thu Jan 10, 2008 8:25 pm

Hey guys, I'm hoping one of you has a sharkmouth Apache and can post a photo? It would be a great help to those of us that haven't been able to find one in our AO.

Thanks!

Oh and if you have an extra one that you'd consider selling or trading, send me a PM. :D

As far as I can tell, it's still a BBI rumor.

Some kinda limited release thing then? I hope not, I already have two of the others, one at home and one at work. It'd be nice to replace one with this new one.

Merit's site shows the latest Apache as sold out and the photo they offer is too small to tell.

Surprise to me, they now have Pegasus listed!!

These appeared in my area right around Christmas, and were discounted along with all the rest of the BBI stuff soon afterwards. It could very well be a limited release...

Here are a few quick photographs:

Please note that I currently have the helo stored and so have removed the rotorblades, wings and ordinance. You will also notice that the figures are the old ones in the cammo uniforms. The "sharkmouth" Apache came with the same figures but in a desert tan uniform. The uniform was largely undetailed and more crudely painted. I like the cammo uniform better. I would have included those figures in the photo, but they are stored away in my attic at the moment...

Nevertheless, you shoud get a good idea about the slight change in markings on the Apache repaint. I have included a BBI promo picture of the S1 Apache for reference. As you can see, the shark mouth and eyes have been added to the cockpit and forward fuselage. The engines still retain the double black stripe, but the white triangle has been replaced by a square with a skull & crossbones in the center.

I saw one of these in California while I was down there a few days before Christmas. Wasn't that impressive although a good alternative to the original one.

I found one marked down at a Target after Christmas and I got it. It was the only one I ever saw.

I suspect you could make a decal that would look better if your just looking for the sharkmouth. I wasn't aware of that version at all until now.
