This review is from: Elite Force: U.S. Apache AH-64 Pilot 12" Military Action Figure (Toy)
The Apache Pilot figure by Blue Box Toys is actually much more interesting than how it is pictured. The survival vest has velcro pockets both in front and back and they hide some very intricate (and frail) items. The side arm is a small caliber revolver with a cylinder that actually swings out. Included are tiny bullets that you can load into the ridiculously small handgun. These bullets are no more than 3 millimeters in length so they are easy to lose. They're so small in fact that I believe the age recommendation of 4+ years to be a bit low. Also included are a whistle with lanyard, a small flare device with extra 'flares' and a survival radio. The back pocket also has a rack for storing excess bullets. The helmet detail is quite impressive. The smoke colored lens can be retracted and the eyepiece will slide right off if you prefer, although there are plastic cables leading from the back that cannot be removed.
This figure is one of the later Blue Box generations so the head is interchangeable with others if you have them. The head does tend to easily slip out however. Overall this is a powerful demonstration by Blue Box in detail. Strangely enough, the most impressive feature is the smallest item: The miniscule revolver.
