Tracker is one of those figures who foretold the neon that was to come in 1992 through 1994. The figure's mold is solid. But, the coloring just makes no sense whatsoever. I've always wanted to like the figure. But, I've never been able to since his red and yellow combo is tough to use. But, the figure has potential that Hasbro never realized. Here's the best of Tracker from around the web.

This guy was part of the Neon Wave in late '91. My friend and I got most of those figures between us but neither of us could bring ourselves to buy Tracker. He didn't just have bright accessories-- the whole figure was an eyesore. And those high tops! Of course we didn't know at the time that these figures would be discontinued in a few months. Blink and you missed them.
ReplyDeleteTracker almost looks like a "sports themed" Joe like Capt. Grid-Iron. If he didn't have the oar and raft I wouldn't believe he was a SEAL!
ReplyDeleteI recall reading somewhere he wasn't originally designed to be a SEAL.
