Tygra's changing Color Scheme

One thing that I always wondered was why did Tygra’s outfit color keep on changing? In the cartoon series it was grey-ish in most of the episodes. In most comics and the LJN figures it was green-ish. In the Bandai figure and in some comics it was bluish.

Anyone have an explanation or perhaps a theory as to why this discrepancy existed? And what is your favorite color incarnation of the striped feline? :slight_smile:

I think part of it was that his skin color (orange) was hard to combine with other colors, so they were trying which one suited him the best.

Also, action figures usually don’t have the same exact colors as the cartoons.

I liked the cartoon grey one the best.

A good example of action figure being completely different was the infamous blue He-Man one.

I second the grey one because Tygra was such a serious person in the OS.

I liked the grey not because of him being serious, but because I think it was the one that goes the best with his colors (orange and black).

I remember an older discussion 2 or 3 years ago concerning Tygra’s actual outfit color. Even though we mostly see him in a blue/grayish portrayal in the OS, the real color as it was produced was the green tone outfit. This comes from the original animated cells during production. Due to the vhs format and poor visual quality in the 80s, Tygra was presented with a more blue tone.

A member had brought us pictures comparing both versions but we concluded then that the real is the one with the green touch.

I prefer OS Tygra’s uniform in the bluish/grayish colors.

Maybe that’s why they chose green for his armor this time (in the NS).
