From there hasbro must have decided not to continue the run to full production status. <br />So those on the market were what were sitting around after that initial small que.

The paint was unusually chalky with a strange, matte finish, perhaps to aid in applying the logo tampo over the two halves of the upper leg?.TLDiznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-30341648669887109312016-06-27T10:22:10.194-07:002016-06-27T10:22:10.194-07:00I think the wear is a result of the poor storage m...I think the wear is a result of the poor storage methods in Asia prior to the figure being sold and also the fact that the production process was not "done". Most of the Asian figure's I've had had much more brittle paint than retail figures. Don't know if that's a function of not being finished, or using cheaper materials on pre production runs to save money.Robot_Sonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046347432548886565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-41398603768646150322016-06-27T09:11:14.642-07:002016-06-27T09:11:14.642-07:00It has more of a Tiger Night Force look to me.

It would have been very cool to have at least one of though.darkwise (Anthony Bailey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08178792114440460604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-18819108345384424882016-06-27T03:55:07.852-07:002016-06-27T03:55:07.852-07:00I think what caused the Tiger Force naming was the...I think what caused the Tiger Force naming was the fact the cammo matched the Wreckage figure. I wish this figure had been released in place of all 6 of those terrible greenshirts.R.T.G.noreply@blogger.com
