The Action Force line is fairly large and features some great 5 points of articulation figures as well as some great vehicles. As the line ended and was going to transition to G.I. Joe, Palitoy repainted a large contingent of Hasbro vehicle molds. Among them was a black VAMP repaint. The later releases of this jeep included a repainted Hasbro G.I. Joe figure, too. In this case, the figure was a 1983 Snake Eyes repaint that was named Stalker.
This leads to all sorts of confusion as it's difficult to refer to the character Stalker but meaning the classic Snake Eyes. So, most collectors simply use the figure as an updated Snake Eyes. And, prior to 1997, it was the only Snake Eyes figure with painted details. That, of course, changed in 1997. And, since then, the V1 Snake Eyes has been repainted many, many times: all with different paint applications. They are better than this Stalker figure. But, Stalker still has the distinction of being the first and also part of the highly popular Action Force line.
The figure appears from time to time. So, check out all the content I could find regarding the Action Force Stalker.
