My daughter bought me this the other day from a charity shop in town.
Bargain for 50p !!
Electronic/motorised Freedom Force Desert tank. (batteries included)
it has a series of red buttons for different functions including movement, sounds and flashy lights !
It plays the valkerie tune from Apocalypse now and bizzarly enough it also plays the theme tune from the Lone Ranger ! as well as various speech and gunfire effects etc.
I have included a couple of figures for scale ......
The tank Commander is actually a cunningly disguised Cobra assassin !
feel free to place your guesses ! the only clue I will give is .... its not Zartan !
and yes he is holding invisible binoculars ......

Wayhey! Brilliant! I love the smell of napalm in the morning! Great find from BFTB's newest bargain hunter?
By the way your Storm Shadow looks minty mint mint mint! I like a nice crisp Cobra logo!

oh ....... you guessed who it was !! I thought it would have had everyone stumped ? especially with that hat and false glasses.
This is my "to play with" Stormshadow he has a yellow shoulder (cant be seen in pic) I have a better one on my display shelf.
