Hellscream333 recently submitted this photograph of
Storm Cloud. It's a damned handsome toy, but if you're like me and scoring along at home, I'm sure you're aware that this is the 28th time Hasbro has given us a toy shaped like an
A-10 Warthog (it's also the
317th combat jet, and the
599th plane). Why so many 'Hogs, Hasbro? Is it a crowd-pleaser? Is this the "Brown-Eyed Girl" of toys? Or is it that the designers just can't resist any jet design that has two large limb-sized turbines in the rear? Still, I'll always have a fondness for any plane whose motto is "Go Ugly Early" (see
Wikipedia), which is the same motto I use when I go out to meet girls in bars.
