I believe this line was one of the first things that Bill Merklein did for Hasbro with Ron Rudat. We only talked about it briefly and Bill was telling me how
Hasbro probably had a bunch of stuff in their vaults regarding the canceled line. And now these have surfaced. Anyways just thought it deserved a bit of attention. eBay Seller: thethingsifind: tribes, Toys Hobbies items on eBay.com

I think it was Hasbro's answer to He-Man essentially. If I had to guess.

Cool stuff. It's interesting to see the thought process behind what goes into a new (well somewhat new) toyline. I can only image being involved in the brainstorming sessions, getting sketches done, getting samples, artwork printed, and then BLAM. Your line is shut down and all that's left is what we see here.

i was tempted at first... but instead I bought the Sgt Savage marketing kit bashes. my first sgt savage prototypes. which honestly based on how they were made ... really fit into my collection of strange stuff as well as my protos. the sgt savage presentation protos were kitbashed with xmen and cadillacs & dinosaurs parts to get the sgt savage scale down. so they're like... proto-prototypes. probably not a single joe part on em. heheheheahahahahah. friggin weird. but cool.
