Three times winner of Trans-Globe Rally, Stalker knows all there is to know about off-road driving. Made his way through the Sahara alone after a serious breakdown.

Stalker is very reserved. Never says much, but can knuckle down to hard work. He knows that his abilities are unique and finds their best use in the fight against terrorism.

Pirschjager (translated to Stalker in English) was the German version of the SAS Stalker figure. Pirchjager came boxed with the SATT Super-Gamma Jeep. He came with a laser pistol.

The SAS Stalker figure is a repaint of the G.I. Joe figure Snake Eyes. The SAS Stalker figure came with an uzi and an explosives pack.

In 1983 Germany released their versions of Action Force as Anti-Terror Teams and Terror Teams. In Germany the logos on the figures were all changed and instead of replica guns they had weapons that looked less-real! The German toy boxes were all cardboard and did not have plastic windows like in other countries.

LOOKS FAMILIAR

The grey Laser Pistol also came with the Second Series Red Laser and third series Cobra Commander. The weapon was designed so that it could be attached to the back of the figure.

A red version came with the TSATT Phoner figure.

Blue versions of the weapon were supplied with the German WATT figures Condore and Meteor.

G.I. JOE U.S. RELEASE

In 1982 the SAS Panther was sold as part of the G.I. Joe line. The G.I. Joe toy was called the VAMP and it came with the figure Clutch. It came in a different colour and had different stickers and a different box.

The U.S. G.I. Joe figure Snake Eyes was originally released in 1982. The figure was also sold in 1983 and 1984 as a swivel arm version.
