Released in October 2023 as part of Target's exclusive Tiger Force & Python Patrol Wave 4 assortment, it came as no surprise when Flint was revealed in his Tiger Force duds since he has always been one of the more popular Tiger Force members since 1988. Tiger Force Flint is a repaint of the Flint (#26) figure released in 2021, but this time he comes with some additional weapons and gear (courtesy of Tiger Force Recondo) which is a nice touch and makes this release a tiny bit more unique. One notable difference with this version is the controversial face paint he has. The paint stripes themselves aren't an issue, but a lot of Classified fans didn't respond well to the new look due to the questionable execution, leading some fans to jokingly refer to him as "Raccoon Flint" or "The Hamburglar".
Tiger Force Flint comes with the following gear and accessories: a shotgun, a removable beret, a rifle with removable ammo clip, a pistol and a machete. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I gave him a 8. I liked that they gave him additional weapons even if they are reused from Recondo. defiantly better then TF Dusty. It would have been nice though if they updated the vest

Gave him a 7. I definitely prefer his regular look over the TF version.

5. Because I think he falls firmly in the middle. I find him a mediocre rendition of a a figure that is really showing it's age. I also do not care for the paint across his eyes.

I think he is a solid figure despite the poor face paint. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer the traditional look more but as far as TF figures go, decent one.

Flint looks like a Hamburglar or a Beetle Boy
or some generic bandit from a 1950's comic book. Or the Phantom And yes a racoon. It's REALLY hard to not notice. ..... that they just painted one thick stripe on one cheek besides the eye stripe and called it a day. Such an Odd choice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle_Boys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_(1996_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sly_Cooper_(character) 6 out of 10. I don't hate it, but I personally don't want it.

Solid 6. The stripe across the face was just a weird decision. It doesn’t help that the original is okay at best and desperately needs an update. On the bright side, this one doesn’t look like he’s wearing lipstick.
