i couldn't resist this one. i really like obscure characters that rarely get their due. not that this character is owed any dues or has any emotional connection with me, but i personally think the origional tiger force "Skystriker" figure is the best of the lott. combined with wild weasel and thunder, this figure with the paint combos, really work aesthetically for me. the tiger-rat, repaint of the rattler, is off course an iconic cobra vech, captured and repainted to use in the joe arsenal. the custom is predictably easy and the parts are not hard to find around here.

wild weasel body
breaker's head
orig. head gear from orig. fig.

here's the lowdown on this character:

That's really great, this is exactly what Hasbro should be doing when they want to reuse parts.
