Tygra Variant?

Hello all:

I recently purchased Tygra. He is in pretty fair shape, but the bolo whip handle is not the original; for the most part, I am very pleased with scoring a Tygra as nice as this.

But, the figure does not have the white mane in back, his mane is all red/red orange, and the red tiger markings don’t cover his entire nose. I have seen both the Old Tygra and Young Tygra’s with the white section of the mane, but just wanted to throw this question out about this Tygra that I purchased.

Is this a variant?

Is it possible for you to provide pictures. I would be interested in seeing it

So, what unknown figure do I have :slight_smile: It does have a 1985 LJN/Wolf Productions copyright on the foot as well.

That looks like the Childbro/Toy Options Tygra. See this thread for more info.

Thats interesting - so possibly the bolo handle is original?

Yeah it is. It looks like the real deal to me. I forgot to address that earlier

You have one of the Childbro released Tygra’s and yep that handle IS legit :wink:

It isn’t the Toy Options Tygra though because the handle on those is thinner with a ****bled effect like the standard LJN brown handles. The handle on the Childbro whips looks to be much smoother with little bumps/****bles.

I’m hoping to get the page for the different Tygra whips up in the Toys Variations section very soon :slight_smile:

It’s ok about posting that image as we have an agreement with TraceandTrev to use their pics on the site :slight_smile:
