G.I. Joe Outback Tiger Force (1990)

G.I. Joe Outback (Tiger Force) is a 1990 repaint of the 1987 Outback figure in the distinctive Tiger Force yellow-and-green camo scheme. Tiger Force was a European-focused sub-line that gave popular characters bold new color treatments, and Outback's rugged survivalist look translates perfectly into the Tiger Force aesthetic.

Tiger Force figures are among the most sought-after G.I. Joe variants because many were exclusive to European and Canadian markets, making them scarce in the US. Outback specifically is popular because the original figure was already a fan favorite. Complete figures with all original accessories command strong prices in the G.I. Joe collector market.

When buying, verify the accessories — Outback should have his backpack, machete, survival knife, flashlight, and rifle. Loose joints, paint wear on the Tiger Force camo, and cracked O-rings are common issues. Check that the thumb crotches aren't cracked, as that's the most fragile point on vintage Joe figures. A carded example is the dream, but even a complete loose figure in good shape is a solid find.
