Shadow Tracker works for Cobra as a wilderness hunter and guide. He tracks his prey using primal instinct: he hears the dark whispers of the jungle, senses distant footfalls in the earth, and tastes his victim's fear in the wind. When his quarry sets foot in the jungle, Shadow Tracker instantly knows and starts the hunt.
versions of the old toys: like the G3 version, he's wearing green pants and a vest, but there are a ton of changes in the small details. Like, the old toy had his pantlegs outside his boots, while this new one tucks them in. He has knee and thigh pads, and instead of gloves that have lights on the forearm, he's wearing simple armored pads and has attached some bones to the right arm - which may be a coded reference to 
Almost as if this were the same character, just with a few more years on his record, his dreadlocks are now long enough to reach the small of his back. He still has that unsettling skeletal face, though it does look less organic and
more stylized this time - you don't need to worry that all the skin has been stripped off his actual face. As before, that gets covered by a translucent yellow-green mask, but no longer do you need to crack the glue to pry it off: it's designed as a separate piece that clips onto the figure securely. If you really look at the sculpt, it appears to be a high-tech copy of a skull.
Making the mask removable (on purpose) has allowed for another new feature: the figure includes a second mask you can choose to give him instead! This one is not clear, but rather some sort of animal skull with a little bit of fur behind it, because he will never not be creepy. Both versions look pretty nice in place on his head, and stay attached firmly; don't worry that it's going to go flying off if you jostle him even slightly.
While the toy does get all the same articulation as everybody else (ankles, boots, knees, thighs, hips, waist, chest, wrists, elbows, biceps, shoulders, and head), but not all of it works. Like, he can turn at the waist, no problem, but don't expect him to ever hunch over in that stiff vest. Plus, the dreads mean he can't move his head back or turn it to the side well, and the combo of a collar on the vest and the chin on the mask(s) means he can't really look down, either. You'll definitely be able to find some good poses for him, but you will have a few spots to work around when you do.
doesn't come with quite as much, but it's all suitable and all fits on his person at once. There's a quiver backpack with a single removable arrow, a very complicated compound bow, a removable stabilizer for the bow, an advanced khukri knife, and a large hatchet. The hatchet can be carried on his leg, and the backpack
