It makes me smile when I look at the 87/88 catalogues and realise I own every figure on them.....he heee! And then theres the later catalogues!
If you all look carefully at the Tiger Force Tiger Shark / Water Moccassin in one of the later Joe catalogue scans in this very thread you'll all see the prototype unreleased Torpedo with T.F. orange and black.....hes piloting it with Dusty riding shotgun....I mentioned this a wee while back.
Maybe someone can enlarge the pic for a clearer view?
Also, the G.I.JOE-THE ACTION FORCE (crap name!) catalogue confirms to those that disbelieve or are a tad confused that Wild Bill still piloted the TigerFly, even though we had a redecoed Recondo V1 figure in the box....

Hmmm
I though the U.K had Recondo with the Tiger Fly while all the rest of Europe got Wild Bill. Ive seen Wild Bill Filecards from the Netherlands but I've never seen a straight English Language only one. Does anyone have an English only Filecard for TF Wild Bill?

Looking at the catalogue, it's Wild Bill in the Dragonfly and Recondo on the Tiger Paw.

Actually Recondo IS Wild Bill. I dunno if its a Hasbro typo or not but TF Recondo was called Wild Bill (our version 2). Dopey or what?
I forget who mentioned this, was last month iirc. Wild Bill V1 came with the Dragonfly and TF Recondo with the Tigerfly, just called Wild Bill. Sooo, in the AFverse Recondo V2 was actually Wild Bill V2. Savvy?

Sorry man, I'm wetting myself. Haven't laughed this hard in ages.
Yup, was indeed the venerable SF1378. Thanks mate.
Ok, TF Recondo was called Wild Bill and substituted in the UK for the afore mentioned TF Wild Bill. So Tiger Force Wild Bill is just Tiger Force Recondo with the same name.
I've stopped laughing now. Sorry. Won't happen again... ahem.
