G.I.Joe Night Landing Craft with Figure
The Night Landing Craft looks to be a repaint of a vehicle from Galoob's Johnny Quest toyline (the mold was acquired when Galoob was purchased by Hasbro). The action figure included with the Night Landing Craft appears to be a repaint of the original 1984 Cutter.
Hasbro is offering the G.I.Joe Night Landing Craft and Cobra Wave Crusher to retailers in a case together.
Cobra Wave Crusher with Figure (formerly Cobra Shark, formerly Cobra Python)
The Wave Crusher is a repaint of the original 1984 SHARC. It includes the driver - Sub Viper.
