Sabre Tooth
The "unknown" member of Tiger Force finally appears!
(Personal note: Sabre Tooth [two words, to avoid copyright infringement]
was actually planned as an official figure for Tiger Force by Hasbro, based
obviously on the 1984 Firefly figure. However, between the time the catalog
pages were presented and the team actually came out, Sabre Tooth vanished,
as did the intention of doing a Tiger Force Rip Cord, among a few other
oddities. I have those catalog pages, and given that Sabre Tooth would
have been an all-new character, albeit from repaints, much like Skystriker,
the Tiger Rat pilot, I decided to round up a Firefly figure and do some
repainting. This was one of my most meticulous pieces, and I'm especially
pleased with it. The stripe pattern is as close as possible to the actual
prototype.) |
