Classified Center Stage - OUTBACK (Tiger Force)

 CLASSIFIED CENTER STAGE

- OUTBACK -

    Stuart R. Selkirk, aka Outback, joined the G.I. Joe Team in 1987.  He serves the Team as their Survival Training Specialist.  He enjoys getting out in the wilderness, far from civilization and the regular distractions of life and living off the land.  He believes that your have to work with the environment, not against it, to survive.  

    In his years on the G.I. Joe Team, he has helped train several new recruits and has been a part of multiple missions and operations.  Outback is a versatile individual and he has signed on to serve in several of the various Joe sub-teams including Tiger Force, Night Force and the Eco-Warriors.

    Classified Outback here, is in his Tiger Force uniform.  This was an unorthodox move as not only did Hasbro release this version BEFORE the standard outfit, but also the original Tiger Force Outback was a European Exclusive back in the day!  So, it goes without saying, with all the oddities considered, I really wanted this figure!

    Outback looks great with the uniform and gear all faithful to the original, all the way down to the flashlight on his leg.  Then you get some nice bonuses like the removable knife or the entrenching tool that can be stored on his backpack.  He has a slightly rugged, worn look to him.  He's ready to trudge into the jungle on his next mission to thwart those nasty Cobras and save the world... again!!!

    Tiger Force Outback - you got a 5-Star Rating, buddy!  Nice work!

For me, this picture has a sad story to it.  It is the last time I remember having the figure's backpack.  I took it off because I was afraid it would fall in the nearby stream and I "put it somewhere safe".  Apparently it's TOO safe... I CAN'T FIND IT!!!  Ugh!
