I ask this because I’ve never come across one myself: Is there a variant Tuska with a non-poseable head? If that is a real variant does he also have orange or yellow eyes? The regular has brown eyes right? If this figure does exist could that be the Playful version rather than an LJN variant?
Supplemental:
Alright I just read the figure description in the toy section, but is it really an LJN produced figure and what colour variations are known?
Playful and Glasslite (just figured I would throw that second one out there) did not make Tuska. If it does exist it is a bootleg or LJN variant or maybe from Toy options or a Rainbow variant I dont know im just throwing out ideas, but I know for a fact Playful and Glasslite did not make Tuska

Yep, there were 2 different Tuska figures made. To tell them apart, one has a painted orange/brown eye, while the eyes on the other do not have this paint. See pic below:

As you can see from the pic, I’ve labelled which one is which. The one with the orange/brown colour on the eye, is the one with the movable head. The one with eyes not painted is the version where the head does not move.
Like Matt says, Playful never made Tuska so it isn’t a South American figure. It also isn’t a bootleg. I personally, own the version with the painted eyes and that came off a Rainbow Toys card. I’m pretty sure this is a US LJN variation. I mean remember how many times Lion-o’s head was changed during the lines run! 
Also of interest is Tuska Warriors rifle. That too has a variation, see pic below:

As you can see, the gun on the right has a thicker handle to the other on the left. It might not be too evident in this pic, but there is definately a significant difference if you view them in person side by side.
Thanks alot Blackiecats!

I’m 99% sure that this is just severe discolouration.
i am not sure. the paint looks even and not discolored. Plus it looks like gold paint
Merged Post:
This is deff not a repaint or faded paint. Dose anyone know about this figure?
I will have more detailed photos of him in a few days!!!
hey mate, 100% sure this is a custom painted one. And i think i’ve seen a similar one on ebay a while ago.
Its a custom repaint
What these guys said… Custom. Repaint.
It really dose not show any signs of repaint… All the joints near the legs and arms look to be the same color and the figure. I will post new photos when i find my camera.
Well that means they did a good job.
