I received this figure with a lot of vintage Joe stuff I got awhile back from a garage sale score. I forgot I had it until yesterday. I have his file card somewhere and Spanish writing was on the front of the card with English detailing about the figure on the back. At the moment I have to sort through some things to find the file card. I've done a lot of research and can't find anything about this figure. There is no date stamp or company stamp. On the back waist says "Made In China". Any help would be appreciated, I know someone on here knows something about this figure, thanks!

These figures were packaged in 2-packs only.. if you look closely your figure has the same torso than the Condor Strike figure seen here..

Filecards too? I've never seen those before, but I would have bought the hell out of those.

Those are cool. Are they knockoffs or an actual International G.I. Joe product? I assume knockoffs but ou never know.

Even they are from another galaxy, the accessories are more likely from here lol.

Btw the scuplts are very nice, I was wondering if they are as bulky as the Corps figures or not.

No, they fit right in with the vintage Joe stuff..

Cool! I could use them in an alterverse. There are some knockoffs that have some bright ideas.

Personally I consider them as part of the Star Brigade.. Terror group members are working with Cobra and Heroic group members with the Joes..

No and I think they are really hard to find. Check the comment of the post creator: "I had been searching Ebay for 2+ years to find these."

So... good luck my friend ;)

Sorry I'm not selling this figure. I'm going to add him to my collection of Lanard and Remco figures. Thanks for the interest though.

Yeah, that's Sound Speed from the original 1987 release. And the Power Commandos are fantastic!

That's my collection on Yojoe. They are the 1987 release & many times more rare than the 1992 releases that have been seen more often on Ebay. The 1987 figures have different colors, different weapons, different parts on some figures, and different cardbacks. The '92 card backs only list 3 sets (6 figs), show the Lucky Bell manufacturer name, and has the European CE mark. The '87 shows all 6 sets (12 figures), show the copyright as 1987 and don't list the manufacturer at all.

Nice! Thanks for the infos.. so the 1992 figures came with a different paint scheme in '87 right?

Okay so.. I got these yesterday, but I found that they are a bit brittle for my taste and maybe a Tanker need them more than I. Btw they are quite nice knock-offs.
