1988 Tiger Fly (Tiger Force)

All seven Tiger Force vehicles (five from 1988 and two from 1989) were repaints. The Tiger Fly is a repaint of the 1983 Dragonfly XH-1.

NOTE: Although the box art showed Tripwire riding in the back seat, and he's pictured above, he did NOT come with the Tiger Fly.

Originally, Recondo was going to be released carded, and Wild Bill v1 was going to be re-painted to pilot the Tiger Fly. Instead, Wild Bill was not re-issued and Recondo was included with the Tiger Fly. This explains why he came with his full gear (rifle and backpack).

Of the 10 Tiger Force Joes, 8 were pure repaints. Recondo is a repaint of the 1984 original.
