Unreleased “25th Anniversary” Python-Patrol & Tiger Force Figure Images

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

anniv_logo Notpicard of JoeIntel was lucky enough to get his hands on a few gems. First off, we have the infamous Tiger Force Roadblock that was rumored to be released in the 15th wave of the 25th Anniversary line. Not only was Notpicard lucky enough to get his hands on this guy, he was able to get a fully painted prototype. Next up, we have a couple Python-Patrol Figures. The Python-Patrol Tele-Viper figure has turned up various over seas sites throughout the months, but the more interesting find here is the Python-Patrol Trooper. To date, there has been no rumor or even mention of this figure, so its presences raises a few questions. Could some sort of “Sub-Team” packs be in the works, or could these just be long lost gems that made it to the hands of a lucky collector? This is surely something to think about for the next Hasbro Q&A.

The boys over at JoeIntel were lucky enough to get their hands on the unreleased Ninja Training Snake Eyes figure that we saw pop up on TaoBao a few weeks ago. This figure was to be included in a Snake Eyes Vs. Night Creeper comic pack, but fell through when the 25th Anniversary line went into hiatus.
