I loved this plane. Unfortunately, it came out just after Joe had jumped the shark and I was turning my attention to trivial things like girls and gainful employment. But I liked it so much I had to get a hold of one about the time my nostalgia came back to life with the 25th Anny Joes. Still, it's the best Joe plane ever. I just wish Ghostrider would have had a cooler get up.

I want to see that on the deck of a USS Flagg. Another fantastic piece of Joe history. It's vehicles like these that make me say "that's awesome! I wish Hasbro would re-release it". I think I'd prefer to put Vintage style figs in the cockpit though. Ah the 80's back when a huge as fighter plane like this could be sold at retail for an easy $20 dollars, how said it is for us, the people of the future to suffer oil at $100 a barrel and rising inflation. I bet if Hasbro tried to sell this today it'd have to be $40-$50.

I have this still at my mothers house.

I'd have to dig for all the parts, but I know they're there.

You know it to be true.

supposedly the CIA raided hasbro once the commercials for the x-19 hit tv and they found out about it. They talked to the design team to find out who should them design pics of "something" but the team just made a ficticious design too close to "something"
don't quote me on that though

Thanks for the great write up. I didn't care for it when I was a kid, but I would love to have one now.

When I get mine all fixed up, I'm gonna paint it and get rid of the dayglo green. And the stupid mini wing guns that pop out.

your wish is my command bro:



well at least for my armies :)

I also hope for a reissue, and some retooling since the landing gear clips can break away from the hull. That snap-on parts feature cant endure the test of time :)

Yeah, the X-19 was the last major vehicle I ever bought of the original release Joes.

First time I've ever seen this. Wow! Only thing I don't like is the front pilot laying down stretched out???

that may be one of those cases where a vintage figure probably fits better.

sigh...thank god :) I was shocked when I saw that. My heart is back to a normal rate. As for mine, I'll get pics up, but they aren't set up yet. I will probably only have 2 up, but I may get lucky and have 3 set up. The fleet is too big, need international waters:rolleyes:
