G.I. Joe Classified Series Tiger Force is Atrociously Bad (Reference to US Army Tiger Force Vietnam)
3Extreme ignorance and incompetence. Referencing the U.S. Amry Tiger Force of the vietnam era is an absolutely horrible idea in modern era. In the 80s/90s this gets a pass because politically correct and the woke culture didn't exist back then. Hasbro and Target are both "progressive" companies full of talks about social justice like no more racist hooded cobra commander etc.. but Tiger Force? oh come on... wtf
Nobody ask for these either lol. All lazy recolors of existing figures, I find it extra insulting that Flint the legendary peg warmer of 2021/22/23 got reissued.
Reasoning and some context
The infamous task force (Tiger Force of the Vietnam era) committed multiple atrocities against innocent civilians, too disgusting and graphic to discuss here.. and are basically the exact opposite of what G.I. Joe (Real American Hero) stands for! These are not heroes, more like war criminals that need to be put in jail for life. Like 100% worst than COBRA the enemy.

Jokes on Target for taking the bait. Target had to sell these to Ross/Ollies because nobody wants to touch Tiger Force. Stupidity on the highest level.
Jokes on Super7 too, I guess Brian Flynn didn't know the history of the Tiger Force either. Oops.
