At the request of the local government, two members of Tiger Force - Duke and Flint - have been dispatched to the rain forest of Sierra Gordo to investigate strange electronic signals emanating from the large river delta.

As they approach the northern shore of the river, two South American Cobra agents, Trigger and Lightning, specially outfitted with state-of-art Python camouflaged uniforms, patrol the river in the Cobra Water Moccasin.

I was twelve years old and growing out of toys when the original Tiger Force sub team was released in 1988. I remember seeing the commercials for the toys on television at the time and thinking that it was very cool that they were bringing back original vehicles and figures from when I was actively playing with and collecting Joes. I'm an oddball, but I have always liked the yellow and black tiger pattern on the vehicles.

In 2017-18, with Joe on hiatus, I have been updating all my customs to 50th standards of sculpting and articulation. Duke and Flint, in their original colors, were part of the list of characters that received upgrades. The Tiger Force versions were on that list as well until this project.
