Awwwww, will you look at that, Hasbro has renamed the Night Raven from G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra. This time around, it's called the Nightbird, and comes with Aero-Viper. Could it be due to the lukewarm response from the fandom, or just out of respect for it's much bigger brother?

Could this just be the name for the international release? Possibly, however, why would the name need to be changed? Could it be so that buyers won't be confused if Hasbro plans to release the vintage Night Raven, retooled to fit 2 Modern Era figures, later on in the line? The fandom as a whole, definitely prefers the classic Night Raven over the movie version.
