Gripper
With Battle-Action Quad-Uzi Attack Shield
About This Vintage Toy
Produced by Coleco in 1986, the Gripper action figure was a mercenary working for the evil terrorist organization S.A.V.A.G.E. (Enemy of Rambo and “The Force Of Freedom”)
Surprisingly, the Gripper figure featured a whopping five total Uzis along with many other weapon accessories. Gripper’s mechanical quad Uzi attack shield was one of the most innovative wind-up accessories included in this series. With the press of a button, a spring action motor maneuvered the quad Uzi attack shield into a firing position.
The S.A.V.A.G.E. “Enemy of Rambo” Gripper action figure offered 7 points of articulation with the hips, knees, shoulders, and neck. The figure was produced at six and one-half-inch tall. The action figure was time-stamped in 1985, Anabasis Investments N.V., ASSM. in China.
Included Accessories
Original Packaging
The original product packaging was a two-sided card back with a blister bubble. An illustrated character action scene and logo image appeared on the front of the card back while a 12 back collect them all advertisement displayed on the back. NOTE: Collectors with the original card back offer increased value to the collectible. (MWC = Mint with card) If the card back still has a bubble intact, that also increases the value. If the action figure is factory sealed on the original card (MOC= Mint on card), collectors can obtain the most value from that particular item.
