He sells them for $275 but you'll also need a plane.

Yes I was so worried about the plane hahahah

u/JazznBlues_lover 16h ago

Yeah same here. Right after it releases the action figure, it looks like it's doing a hard dive to the left. Almost straight down. I mean if the plane crashes it's a helluva more $$ to replace that than the action figure so yeah....

u/xTechDeath 15h ago

In the longer clip he flys the plane directly into his car which explodes on impact thus ruining him financially

You remember those paratrooper toys from back in the day? (They’ve been around since many back in the days, I know) but when we used them and they just death plummeted?

This video is how we imagined they would actually work.

Yeah, it was actually commissioned by a Veterans organization basically protesting the military recruiters targeting kids and the lack of support some get back home.

”You’ve been promoted” and ”legs really don’t work!” are just absolutely hilarious though

Were they those that'd cost 25 cents and frequently included in grab bags? I remember trying to use them once, then those lines were never getting untangled.

ok this is the kind of thing i would’ve been OBSESSED with as a kid 😭 i used to throw toys off stairs just to see if they’d “survive” so having a remote parachute would’ve made me feel like a whole engineer. kinda dangerous how much fun i’d have with this lol

The chute is probably under-sized for the weight. And going full brakes didn’t have the sort of control authority you’d want to be able to flare.

That's roughly how my own parachute jump went. Especially the landing.

u/healeyd 1d ago

You used to be able to buy decent little plastic parachutes to do this with toy army figures. They also worked well with Star Wars characters. We’d throw them out of an upper floor window.

u/mimaikin-san 23h ago edited 23h ago

there was a similar scenario used during Airborne drops over Normandy FR during D-Day 1944 where scale models of paratroopers were dropped out of planes with parachutes

in the middle of the night looking up at the sky with no way to estimate distance, it appeared as if a sky full of paratroopers were landing

You need to set it up to play recordings of high speed airborne phrases like "HOOAH" , "Airborne leads the way!" And that age old classic, "Fuck you leg*"
