The good folks at Moebius Models have outdone themselves again with yet another first-rate kit, which they seem to release faster than a "Jonny Quest" villain can holler "AIEEEEE!" In the beloved Hanna-Barbera series, the Dragonfly was Dr. Quest's supersonic jet in which he and the series' other heroes-- Race Bannon, Jonny, Hadji, and Bandit-- soared around the world, battling their foes and righting wrongs at every port of call. Moebius has done an outstanding job of reproducing the Dragonfly in styrene. Luckily, "Jonny Quest" has been the victim of a ridiculous reboot or "reimagining" (which very little "imagining" will factor into) and the wonderful, streamlined beauty of the Dragonfly hasn't been reinvented in some ridiculous 21st century way that kills its mid-century animated comic book-style charm. Moebius has captured that charm beautifully.
I can only hope that they will follow this up with figure kits of Doug Wildey's Quests and their nefarious enemies: Dr. Zin, Turu the Terrible, the Lizard Men, et al. Thanks again, Moebius!
