The Tigers manufactured by Topper Toys were a 1966 short lived series of military action figures.[1] A television commercial advertised the names and functions of the Tigers to the tune of The Washington Post March. Similar to Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos, the Sergeant smokes a cigar.
The Tigers were slightly over half the size of the popular GI Joe, at inches (165.1 millimeters) made of a flexible rubber body on a wire frame. Similar to the A. C. Gilbert Company James Bond action figure, each Tiger's right arm was spring loaded hard plastic. When their commander pulled the arm back until it locked, the commander could activate the arm by pressing a hidden button on the back of the figure.
Each Tiger had a cloth uniform of olive green or leopard spot camouflage with a green plastic netted M1 helmet and brown jump boots. Extra uniforms and accessory packs were sold. The figures did not have pistol or cartridge belts or field packs.
