Its PTE. Saw it today at Toys R Us along with the PTE blackhawk.

hm....so he's misrepresenting it. Interesting.

I gather it's way underscale. Looks big in the pic but it's just the perspective i think. Still, interesting to see new power team. Did you see any other new power team today?

The figures, looks to be only with 5 point of articulation. I would hazard a guess that this is more likely to be under chap mei instead.

Sorry. It was from the True Heroes collection. I believe that is Chap Mei.

Even if PTE or else, when the price remains down, still interesting. PTE items are very easy to custom, much more than BBI. For instance with e-motors to move the rotors or to light it with some LED's...

true heroes is both PTE and chap mei, plus others. It looks like a PTE product to me and they have done most of the aircraft to date in the TH line.

Hopefully this means a new wave of Power Team is on the way.

I find it funny that he says not to bid if you plan on freezing the money, and that he won't accept returns :P
He's obviously working hard to make them think its the BBI apache. Lying RIGHT through his teeth.

I've contacted the seller on eBay. He didn't tell me the overall length I've asked for, so it's not possible to calculate how long it has been shortened. He just told me it came from China.

I'm disappointed, Manny must be off of his game to let this opportunity slip by. ;)

I bought the TH blackhawk from Toys'r'us and was very disappointed they do a good job using the photos to hide the fact that there is no tail. I have no doubt they have done the same here. I will say this brand blends in with GI joe stuff with minimal effort.
