NOTE: This is a modified reissue of an existing model, and this review will focus on the changes made between the cars. You can see the original review for more details.

Background

Sheriff Emitt "Hammerhand" Ragsdale is the tough-as-nails Sheriff of Choctaw county, a man Luke said was so mean he'd invade Russia if he had two more cars. When Rosco puts out a call for all units over the CB, it's met with laughter by the Dukes until they hear Sheriff Ragsdale is the one at the other end. His reputation seems well-deserved, as he continues pursuit of the General Lee after successfully jumping a creek after it and is only thwarted by the "substandard" driving of Sheriff Coltrane.

 

Packaging

Packed in what has become the standard "Hazzard-adjacent" packaging, once again everything remains the same except the name of the car.

 

Casting/Paint

The only physical change made to this car is the light bar, which is now a Signal-Stat Dual Comm instead of the Federal Signal Aerodynic seen on the other cars. The interior is cast in beige with the usual fully printed dashboard and door panels, and the wire connecting the radio to the microphone is a straight cord.

Choctaw county's paint job is a relatively simple brown and white, with the color break at the car's beltline. The paint quality is just as good as expected, with a smooth finish and decent edges. The Choctaw County Sheriff shield is identical to the Hazzard county design, but has the updated banner underneath.

 

Features/Accessories

No change, but the doors both are aligned properly.

 

Accuracy

The updated light bar and new paint are correct for Sheriff Ragsdale's car.

 

Overall

While at this point I feel like I've got a collection of Chrysler B-body cars to rival an early 1980s Hollywood back lot, GreenLight continues to impress with their attention to detail and willingness to make small but crucial changes to keep the cars screen-accurate.
