[oQUOTE=oliverbox;1126298]Gentlemen, I'd like to change the subject for just a minute - I'd like to talk about Tiger Force, and RoC Ripcord.
As many of you know, I'm planning on using PoC City Strike Beach-Head as Sabretooth - the long lost, prototype figure/character from Tiger Force. He exists as a rumor and fuzzy old photo from a Hasbro promo add in the 80's. There's a link to the picture here...
PeterDB.net - Unproduced Tiger Force
What I never noticed before is that originally, Rip Cord was supposed to be a member of Tiger Force. But that never happened.
But I would like to offer this other instance of a Code name being reused in a Sub-Team: Airborne.
So we have original Airborne, and we have Sky Patrol Airborne. Two different characters with the exact same name.
Now, what if RoC Rip Cord is simply the Long Lost "Tiger Force" Rip Cord we never got? What if he's simply another character named Rip Cord? Isn't he about to be released in a Jungle Assault uniform? Isn't that what Tiger Force does?
All I'm saying is that maybe there's a way that there are two Rip Cords... obviously the name "Wallace Weems" is still a problem, but if there's room for two Airborne Characters because one is in Sky Patrol, maybe there's room for two Rip Cords if one of them is in Tiger Force.
By the way, Original Rip Cord appeared as a member of Tiger Force in Special Missions #25. So maybe I should try and get a Rip Cord from the 7 pack and have it repainted in Tiger Force Colors? Tiger Force could use another HALO expert to work with Crazy Legs.
What do y'all think?[/QUOTE]
TF Ripcord would have used the same head as '84 Ripcord, so to me it would be the same person. '83 Airborne and '90 sky patrol airborne had different heads, so they would be different people. In my Joeverse ROC Ripcord will still get renamed.
I didn't see it on the site you linked, but torpedo was also supposed to be part of TF, as the driver for the Tiger Shark.
(as pictured in the 1991 European catalog )
I know Crazy Legs was part of Night Force, when did he becme part of TF?
nice customs Loose Cannon.
