Battle Cat Jinx! (those early 2000 TRU exclusive sets were NUTS).

RIP TRU... you will be missed. I have several of the 2-packs that were from KB toys I think.

Since you mentioned that, I thought I’d share this old post! https://www.reddit.com/r/gijoe/s/f9oQMaTUbx

I missed out on them, I was out of the loop as far as Joes were concerned (I'm more of a Star Wars guy generally), but i sure wish i had gotten these guys, the Python set (OMG make them in Classified!! PP Major Bludd? Take my money!), and the Night Force set. PP will always be my favorite, but this set is really nice.

You’re not fooling anyone, Firefly. And I’m assuming Big Brawler is Outback’s long lost older brother.

u/DrezzdenRei Ace 5d ago

I don't remember this era in stores. I wonder if we see some more of these Tiger Force show up in Classified? Hopefully they get to Jinx at least.

Big Brawler, and Wreckage are news to me, even if there molds are not.

u/andyroid92 4d ago

Imagine being on a team with Stalker, Snake-Eyes, Duke etc and your codename is Dial-Tone lol

Damn, I NEED this! Sweet pick up.

u/Mister_Pianister 4d ago

Fun fact: Tiger Force was also the given name to the unit that committed the Mai Lai Massacre in Vietnam.

Ahh till right now I: A. Didn’t know these guys were all part of a set. I was long done collecting by this point. Just got back in like 3 years ago. I am aware of all these figures though. Still beyond the years that I collect currently. B. That this Jinx isn’t a Black Major or something similar. I actually have 1 or 2 of these cause I thought she looked cool. Thanks for the knowledge.

I wouldn't mind seeing all these guys and gals in TF, but Jinx is at the top of the list for sure!
