Yeah, the front box art does give the impression that it should open up.

It's a shame too cuz it would look SWEET in the package. I'm thinking about hanging it in "flying" position from the ceiling.

Could you imagine how big the box would have to be for a window box. Considering how many parts there were and all the assembly required... but that would be a lot better to display. I was thinking that hanging it is really the only way to display it.

How did you get the red stripes on the wings lined up correctly? I got so frustrated that I ended up leaving a gap of grey. Most of the stickers drove me nuts though. That targeting sticker. The red tail fin stripes almost had me screaming because of the little circle of bumps that wouldnt allow them to lay flush. I just know they will end up pealing off soon because of that.

Enough of my complaining though, great review, even if you didnt mean for it to be serious. Did you get the regular release Skystriker? Its funny because the Cobra Commander is a straight repaint of Ace - minus the shiny head! Youre right about CC needing a Cobra emblem too.
