And here's my modest collection:

Now that I'm all grown up and still looking at all the accessory kits, I suddenly understand why little girls love Barbie so much... In the end, she's just a simple doll (with very few joints, for that matter). But it's all in the accessories. Something about having add-ons makes the thing more than it is.
In the photo above is the Scopedog itself along with two variations on the heavy machine gun (with and without the long barrel and the stock), the shoulder rocket launcher, an Uzi-like pistol weapon, a multitude of ammo packs and equipment containers, the parachute-pack, and of course the pilot figure (which was also sold separately)... Goes without saying that the ammunition cans all fit in the appropriate spots on the guns and storage hooks. Of course, while the parachute pack doesn't actually deploy, it does open up to reveal a series of removable bits of equipment in its storage compartments. Likewise, the rocket-launcher stores a set of 9 rockets, each with their own opening tail fins. The bazooka also collapses into a portable version of itself. Finally, mounted on the Scopedog itself is the flight-pack for zero-G combat.
I'm such a damn geek right now. Simple pleasures....
