And don't eat that yellow snow... Cat.
And now that I think about it, Cobra has never had a field medic have they? I guess they feel their troops are really expendable. Probably just replace them with a BAT or Fred clone or something.
They had this guy in the VvV timeframe.

@vicious7171 Now that I’m thinking about it, what if it’s Lifeline? He was an original Tiger Force member right? Maybe Target is again releasing a TF repaint first for a figure that we know is coming later like they did with Recondo and others. I would want a TF Lifeline just so I know a regular one will be released soon after. I feel sorry for Doc. He needs someone to help him carry the other side of that stretcher to help evac the injured. Lifeline can provide the assist!

Not a named character, but they did have Medi-Vipers;
Uh oh, where did I put my figure?
There she is.
The ghillie poncho, fun if you put it to use with some surrounding cover, but a little goofy just standing around in the open. The hood is kind of tricky because you have to deal with thick cloth and no wire to keep it more form fitting around the head. I wish they kept the threads longer and dangly. When standing around vanilla she sort of looks like an original Star Trek alien.
Holy crap. So Cobra actually had a doctor/medic and medic Vipers? This was definitely in a time after I stopped collecting Joes because that’s the first I’ve heard of them. Might be nice to own a classifieds version of them in the future.
And I am really looking forward to that Marine Sniper.
What mundane generic Joe character can you think of to receive a Tiger Force repaint?
That will be what Target gives us. It should be a lady. It should be Jinx. It won’t be. I’d take a Lady Jaye or Covergirl. Again it won’t be. It should be a two pack versus of Tiger Force Jinx versus Python Patrol Valkyrie. Alas that awesome won’t occur. I’d take Tiger Force Kamakura too.
It’ll be Tiger Force Gung Ho…
yeah……
Thwipp!
It's the Cobra knee pads that really make this design stand out ...
I keep seeing the Super7 ReAction Tiger Force Snake Eyes in Target (and almost buying him even though he's... a bright yellow ninja). Maybe they'd do a repaint of the carded Snake Eyes for Tiger Force? Though honestly I'd love to see them to Lifeline knowing full well they'd do Tiger Force first then his original costume later. I mean they got me with Barbecue and Bazooka that way, the'll get me with anyone else, too.
Been messing around with Airborne a bunch lately. Such a great figure. If they reissued him in Tiger Force colors I'd easily pick him up.
Speaking of repaints, I just got the new Stalker. Literally a 1::1 remake of the first version but two things of note: his joints were way less sticky this time, and his trigger fingers are better. Has anyone else noticed some of the figures (Flint comes to mind, a few others) whose trigger fingers are just a little too tight so there's a slight stress mark between trigger and middle fingers when you pose them with a weapon? I've always wondered if it's just paint or excess plastic I should cut into. In either case, the new Stalker does NOT have that happening so in addition to digging the brighter greens, he's easier to pose, so he'll be the display Stalker going forward. (loved the first one though.)

HALO Jumper is basically a 1:1 repaint with some new parts (and no pistol suppressor for some reason), so that might be up your alley.
I absolutely want that ReAction TF Snake Eyes in Classified too, would be a real eye-catcher. Now I'm wishing Wreckage had deco like that ReAction SE!
@vicious7171 Interesting about the parts reuse. The one part of this line I'm okay skipping is the realistic generic soldiers, though - sticking with named Joes or goofy sci-fi looking folks like the Steel Brigade.
I'd buy that ReAction SE in Classified though in a heartbeat even though it looks like he's wearing tiger pajamas. Or maybe BECAUSE it looks like he's wearing tiger pajamas.
@ru1977 This one is what I wished the first Stalker was, so he's a good pickup. First one was great but the cardback one is just a few tweaks better IMHO.
I've seen people call him "Camo Airborne" if that helps enable you to buy more toys 🤣 🤣
@docsilence I get the appeal of the new stalker but decided I like how the original looks. I did note your critiques though, but still cool with it.
Airborne is definitely on my list to get eventually. A camo version of him is really tempting but I think I prefer the original one. I totally get not being into unnamed troops but the ones I kinda like, I've been assigning names for shelf canon. That one could be Hit & Run.
Good idea using the generics as unmade characters.
The existing Airborne really stands out cos his color palette is unique in the line so far. I really dig that. Same reason I love desert Snake Eyes - there's nothing else quite like him so he really pops.
