I saw an ad in a magazine that had a Huey with 4 figures!!! Which boxed huey was this and how many Hueys has 21st Century done now? I can think of four, but the hobby store I was just in does not have the one with 4 figures, and they didn't know what I was talking about.

You have the original Hog, the Motorwork Slick (1 pilot), the CIA Air America, the 21C slick (with the 4-man crew), and the frogmouth. I think that was it.

Thats correct. There's only been four and the origional was a TRU exclusive. There will be a fifth version later on this year when the Sahara line products are released.
S1 Huey

Was the 21C Slick the only one to come with the crew of four, or did the frogmouth come with a full crew?
S4

The version with the 4 figures is the Slick version that is sold On-Line only. The Walmart version of the same helicopter has only 1 figure. SO careful where you get it from! This one should be the one you want:

As far as the figures, I believe you get 2 pilots and 2 mutt drivers.....

Sorry about the confusion. There have been four versions of the Huey released. Here are some pictures:
The Origional - a TRU Exclusive
The Air Calvary - both at WM & Small Retailers
The CIA Air America - both at WM & Small Retailers
The "Shark Mouth" - curently with Small Retailers
There are a "Platoon" version and a "Sahara" version coming eventually for those movie lines.
The Air Calvary Huey that went to the small retailers had the four figures. These consisted of two pilot figures and two crew figures. The pilot figures were the same as all the other Huey pilot figures. The crew figures had the body of the M-48/MUTT vehicle driver (bare arms & sleeveless vest) with the Helicopter pilot heads.
Hope all this helps!

What is interesting is the fact that the Platoon version looks like it will be a repaint of the S1 Gunship version. That should be nice.........

I saw this at Small Joes
Someone on the board may have one for you cheaper or for trade in the Trade section...

thanks for the info,... the original pilot that came on the first issue huey had a helmet that was glued on. Do any of these newer versions have pilots with removable helmets????

You might be able to use the M48 Vietnam Tanker figure as a substitue if you can't find a pilot with a removable helmet.
The tanker figure has a removable helmet.
You know you might look for the CIA figure with a baseball cap and sun glasses. You might be able to swap the head to the pilot figure.
Just my 2 cents...
