That allowed the buoyancy ring from the Swordfish to be placed on the Shadowtrak, with the side 'wings' and (too easy to snap) missiles removed.<br /><br />The Red Shadows had no water based characters until Kraken, and no water based vehicles at all, so this was a trick that I suspect a lot of kids back in the day figured out, and made bath times way more fun. Nowadays it allows for some great customs too.<br /><br />You could also get two rear passengers on the Shadowtrak if you let one leg of each dangle over the sides.Mark Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-6173516155997970482017-10-31T12:43:39.623-07:002017-10-31T12:43:39.623-07:00Great review, you definitely convinced me to get o...Great review, you definitely convinced me to get one as a Crimson Guard vehicle. I do want to ask, where do you generally buy your joe stuff? The prices you quote are usually much more reasonable than is typical here in New England and I don't see them on ebay at that price often either. Just curious, what's the most reasonable way to buy? I'm down to about 25 90's figures and a bunch of vehicles but even stuff like 91 General Hawk I can't get complete here for less than $22 loose.Rob Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003524671621152392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-71398633971157004162017-10-31T09:06:07.393-07:002017-10-31T09:06:07.393-07:00I'm partial to using HISS Drivers with my Shad...I'm partial to using HISS Drivers with my Shadowtrak. The Red's a fairly good match. There's also a variant on the Hubcaps, I think. Some are Red others are Black. <br /><br />There's a really cool Q Force boat, that I wouldn't mind getting, but shipping is probably a nightmare. R.T.G.noreply@blogger.com
