TUNNEL RAT NAME: Lee, Nicky Primary Specialty: EOD A tough kid from the mean streets of Brooklyn, TUNNEL RAT got even tougher going through the Ranger course at Fort Benning and on numerous top-secret missions. He has a special love for demolitions. He earned his code name by crawling into enemy tunnels with a cocked .45 in one hand, a trench knife in the other, and a flashlight clenched in his teeth. DUKE thought that TUNNEL RAT was the perfect G. I. JOE to infiltrate COBRA underground systems since he was already poking around down there anyway. Most people would feel claustrophobic in a dim, narrow tunnel, especially if they knew that there might be mines and booby-traps imbedded in the walls and that heavily armed enemy troops might be lurking around the next bend. At the very least, they would feel threatened, trapped, and totally insecure. TUNNEL RAT feels none of that. He feels at home. "This job is great. I get to go to weird and exotic places, meet interesting people who are all out to surprise me, and at the end of the month I get paid. What more can I ask for?"     My Comments: Another great character and I was glad to see him in 12" format. I think I've got the basics done for him, but he still needs "extras" to jazz him up a little! He really needs molded gloved hands rather than these painted hands.
