A great review on Skydiver, the Flying Commander, Timmer!
You’re right, they did sell this 1995 action figure for a long time in India. Your figure was from 1999, and the one in my collection is from 2002. This new, unique character exclusive to India could have been easily upgraded using the new tooling as a repaint from the G.I. Joe Collector’s Club for a surprise convention para-drop figure. I had even suggested as much to David Lane in person, and was erroneously convinced he was going to do it, so I remained silent about this so as not to ruin anybody’s surprise. While the 14.5 inch parachute does have Funskool on it, you didn’t mention the eagle emblem it has also. The removal of the folding stock on his EM-4 7mm assault rifle with optics scope is really no big deal to me, because as you mentioned, it would probably has been lost anyways when children throw the figure forcefully into the air. To make my Skydiver action figure even better, I have him wearing a 1987 Crazy Legs parachute backpack, which improves the look of the figure, (in my opinion). If you want to understand this figure even better, think of it in terms like Argentina’s T.N.T. character who always wore and honored the colors of that country (sort of like how Marvel’s Captain America did as well). Just as the United States has the world famous Navy SEALs, or the United Kingdom has the SAS, in India the Parachute Regiment is their Special Forces/Airborne regiment. The maroon and sky blue are their official colors. Also known as the Paras, or Red Devils, they are typically armed with the Tavor TAR-21 bullpup assault rifle, which is an easy accessory piece among today’s modern G.I. Joe figures. Because about a third of them were British with lighter skin complexion, the factory plastic colors used for the head/neck of this action figure work fine for this India action figure. So now you know… and keep up the excellent work on your reviews. They are a pleasure to watch.
