the roc mole pod is probably ranked as highly liked among joe collectors as the cobra pogo of 87'. just my suspicion, i happen to like them both myself, but i digress. the mole pod looks like it was built from the top down and they just gave up on the bottom. i wanted to give this vech a makeover and make it more useful while looking more menacing. so i took some left over hiss treads and extra parts from the 84 whale and put them into the mix and we have the Cobra Snake Tunneler!

my idea is that the drill plows through mtn rock to drill for bunkers and such. the debris is distributed around the vech into the circular chopping fan. the material is turned into fine dust to be used as masonary reinforcement for the new tunnel bored. there is a pin through the fan and carriage which locks into the seat inside the cockpit. the turbine actually spins! manually of course.

i haven't given the pilot a name or taken pics of him yet, i'll add those when i get them photo'd. i have lots of vechs done and a lot of wips that i'll be showing soon. eventually, all of them will be shown and sold on http://avacslab.com/ soon, check the site out, it's a work in progress!

will add more pics soon, stay tuned...

Wow, very cool! I think you're right about the popularity of that pod in it's original form, but if Hasbro released it like this it would have been awesome.

now if Hasbro made that, I probably would have bought it. Nicely done! BTW I loved the cobra pogo!
