Having run out of vehicles for Z Force and not yet decided where to start on the 'Chinook', I have been throwing Sparrowhawk out of the top floor window of the house with my son this afternoon. That got me thinking of all the gear he came with (grey detonator, ammo box, machete, grappling hook etc). Then I remembered the Special Mission Pod that I had for Action Man as a kid and thus....................................

Sparrowhawk just landed on top of a skyscraper

PS Don't ask how the Pod managed to land so close to him - After 20 years without a helicopter, Chopper is showing off!

Close up of the Pod:

The pod opens and all the gear can be stored inside. It'll do until I can get another pack for the parachute and use it with another trooper.

First one to guess what the Pod is made from can have my spare APC Antenna or Wolverine towrope.




I jest of course!

Close, very close. It's an old Prit-Stic glue tube I was using to attach sticker on my custom vehicles. It held the paint better than expected, and as I said earlier, holds all his gear inside.

And that was going to be my next choice!

Oh, well.

Is it an old Prit-Stic glue tube you were using to attach stickers on your custom vehicles?
