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.
