Hiss...

The pump is very happy to see that car.

I hear this is Lou Reed's favorite car.

A Vic Viper?

Might have to squint a little to see it…

I think that cyclinderic piece is nicely integrated into the back of the car. It looks like a rocket exhaust from this angle.

I was wondering what the overlap was with that, because this really looks like it’s a prototype for their kind of vehicle

@PurpleDave: Would Lou be 'car pooling' with Cobra Commander then...(ponderers):)

That pump also looks useful for blowing dust off your builds...

Canned air would almost certainly have more force, would let you get into the little nooks and crannies, and wouldn't require the use of two hands. I'm not just bringing up that last one because I only have full use of one of mine, but because even if both of yours are fully functional, you might want to hold the model with one hand while blowing dust off with the other, to get the best angle.

Pumps vs Pull backs, the later travels further the former is more fun for anger management.

Pursing your lips and blowing would be more effective. The only reason that launcher can generate any force is because the sleeve on the car forms a seal that prevents the air from leaking. The large bore, however, prevents the air from being expelled with any force.

As the Fangpyre were still sealed in their tomb in 2011, I'd say no - they didn't bite it. However, it could be a tribute to them by Chen's snake-obsessed cultists for all we know!

If you think the pump is better for anger management, then surely you have never pulled back a pullback car so far that the winch starts clicking, and then let go - that thing goes SO FAR...and the imminent crash as it hits the opposite wall is also a fun bonus!

Yeah, but when's the last time you saw a comic panel with "HULK RELEASE!" in a giant speech bubble? It's a very passive action, compared to slamming your fist down on the bellows.

Yes but no one says that breathing in is the most satisfying part of taking a breath, its obviously breathing out...this is fun lets keep going!

...which the bellows does when you slam your fist on it. And which, let's face it, the kid probably does at the same time, in a rather loud, screamy fashion.
