Stalker - Stars & Stripes
as he should have been in 1997
Parts Used - 1983 Stalker and rifle, Zap/Short Fuze backpack
Ah, what we could have had in 1997. Here you see what was initially planned for
what eventually became a Toys R Us exclusive. As with many of my customs using more
valuable parts, this figure is an amalgam of spare parts accumulated over the years,
including reissues of existing molds. No intact 1983 Stalker figures were harmed in
the creation of this movie figure. One would think the yellow
camoflage would be a bit much, but it's really not too bad looking. Well, at least
it doesn't look as bad as the Stars & Stripes set that was ultimately released.
