G.I. JOE VEHICLE SHOWDOWN, Part 10 - Tiger Force
Enter The Repaints... Starting in 1988, we got a landslide of repaints. Hasbro really leaned into the idea of sub-teams on both sides of the Cobra and G.I. Joe battle. These different groups would give a second life to both the figures and vehicles. It would also allow both teams to use each other's equipment. On one hand, I liked it. Especially with figures I missed, as they were now available again. On the other hand, after a while, the introduction of so many different sub-teams got annoying. Seeing so much stuff get re-hashed one after the other got stale fast. Tiger Force was first, and I'll tell you - from the start I didn't like it. I got a few vehicles for Christmas '88 though, and that changed my mind. The vehicles themselves were already great vehicles and the "tiger" color pattern was certainly eye-catching! The idea behind Tiger Force was that the Joes were refurbishin...
