That's very interesting about the SEALs. I didn't realize that. I did know about the 18X program, or the "Baby Beret" program as it's sometimes called. I know the Army did it in Vietnam too. I suppose it's just one of those things that dependent upon the needs of the Army. Right now, we just need guys that can do that job.
Changing the subject just a bit, I thought I would share with y'all about a figure I got a while back on ebay. I got another International figure from Brazil: Tigor. He's similar to Urzor, but Tigor came with a jungle cat instead of a bear. He's basically an orange repainted version of Recoil with Scoops legs. I'm going to use him as "Tiger Force Recoil". I'm pretty excited about him. I think Recoil will be a good fit for Tiger Force.
I also picked up Tiger Force Shipwreck... he's going to drive the Tiger Force Hydrofoil. I was very glad to find him.
I'm coming close to having all the International Tiger Force figures. I will be glad when my collection is complete.
One other note about International figures: UK Spirit. Has anyone noticed this figure? It's v1 Spirit repainted in Night Force Colors. It's pretty cool. I'm thinking of using him with v2 Low-Light as unofficial "off the book" members of Night Force. Their paint jobs match pretty perfectly with the '88/'89 Night Force Team. And I think Spirit and Low-Light would make a great team.
Troynos, you might consider this. The UK Mutt also looks like he's wearing a Night Force uniform. I know how much you like Mutt and Night Force. You might keep an eye out for one of these. You can check him out on yojoe.com.
