lion vest! ID this wild vest!

a couple yrs ago when I made/posted my ultimate (purple rain) destroy I mentioned seeing a vest that was made to look like a skinned lions face. no one chimed in on what or if it existed. since then I've seen lots of sabre tooth figures with a lion facing to the rear , so I thought that must be it. until I saw one again!
I didn't buy the lot ($15 iirc),but maybe I should of. that was a couple months ago and I never got around to posting about it again. i'm pretty sure it is an animal planet poacher, but it might be a knock off.

it sure is a neat accessory.

Well there is also Marvel’s Kraven the Hunter in 3.75” who was the obvious inspiration for the Chap Mei figure.

Chap Mei released a poacher figure in their various "Wild Quest" and "Dino Valley" lines that had the lion face vest. I had and traded a dozen of them over the last 15 years through my Swap Shop.

Do you have a list of the jackets and vests you have? I could definitely use some.

The vests/jacket pieces in my 2 gallon bag are my customizing fodder. I thought I had one of those vests left, but apparently I did not save one for myself.

I have one I've been sitting on for a custom for a while. If I get a chance to go through my fodder and find an extra one, I'll let you know.

thanks! i'm on a trading hiatus though for the foreseeable future since i have a lowered immune system.

I understand. It could take me some time to find one, if I have it. If I find it, I'll let you know and set it aside for you.
