The G.I. Joe Collector’s Club FSS 7 previews continue with a look at the mock-up for Tundra Ranger Stalker!
G.I. JOE TUNDRA RANGER
Code Name: SGT. STALKER
(Inspired by the 1989 action figure.)
Includes: removable tactical vest, NEW hat, rifle,
knife, kayak with stabilizer, machine gun mount,
double-ended paddle, and figure stand.
“That guy’s AWESOME!”
That was the reaction by Scoop in the DiC mini-series Operation: Dragonfire the very first time Stalker deployed his Tundra Ranger kayak.
That statement might just hold true today with the reveal of the FSS 7 update to this classic 1989 Stalker design. Sure, the Club is reusing some existing parts but that’s to be expected. The Retaliation G.I. Joe Trooper legs are back– as is the head that was most recently used for the Tiger Force Stalker and the FSS Jammer figures. However, the accessories are clearly the focus here– including a reproduction of the original cold weather outrigger kayak!
Of course, will he be able to sit in the kayak? Well, that’s another story…
Not too shabby, Collector’s Club. Not too shabby at all! Now only Crystal Ball remains unseen!

Not bad! Easily the most anticipated figure besides Crystal Ball. If he can sit in the kayak, I’d call this the best one in the whole bunch.
Now, for Crystal Ball!
