Swamp Rat is one of those figures that would have fit in so well with GI Joe's 1987 releases. He would've gotten along perfectly with Croc Master and Raptor.
The dual sheathes with removable daggers, cloak, tail, and mask were pretty cool accessories. Question for all of you: Do you use Swamp Rat as a troop builder or an idividual character?

Never owned one, but I wouldn't mind a modern version of Swamp Rat and I'd certainly make him a troop builder.

The two thigh knife sheaths were cool and an oddity at the time.

This set was the first Joe purchase to get me back into Joes. I was already back into collecting other lines though. I had a giftcard for Target and since I didn't really shop there, I figured I'd use it on Joes.
I really liked Swamp Rat's design. I only had the one and hadn't considered army building at the time, so I don't know if I would have used him as a singular character or not. I can see it going either way. I can picture him matched up with Copperhead.
