Toy Type
3.75 inch scale plastic figure with 'Swivel Arm Battle Grip' and O-ring construction
Toy Condition
Good/Very Good; visible yellowing/discoloration on the plastic (common for white/tan figures), paint wear on the goggles and beard, and slight rust on the waist screw. Joints appear intact but potentially loose due to age.
Packaging Condition
Incomplete; only the 'File Card' remains. The card is clipped/cut from the original box with some edge wear and a slight crease, but the text and artwork are legible.
Rarity & Significance
Common but highly iconic for the mid-80s line. Since he was a vehicle driver, he is a core piece of 'A Real American Hero' collections. Value is significantly impacted by 'yellowing' of the white plastic, which is prevalent in this specific figure.
Special Features
Includes original black rifle accessory and clipped original file card providing character biography (Farley S. Seward).
Notable Variations
There is a later 1988 'Tiger Force' European exclusive repaint and various reissues/modern sculpts; this is the original 1985 version identified by the cream-colored plastic.
