Fictional biography

A former partner of Tri-Jag before he swapped allegiances. Straight out of hell and one of a kind. He's tenacious stalking exploits are legendary, and have literally become part of his planer's folklore. "Sanctuary is being sought, whispered prayers our last resort, homing in its cry distorts, terror struck they know they're caught." Which is odd because he's a really nice guy and totally devoted to his team-mates and superiors.

Toys

  • Keith's Fantasy Club CST-02NS Night Stalker (2013)
An original mold by Keith's Fantasy Club, based on a custom kit made by Eagle's TF. Turns from robotic lion to microcasette. Comes with case, collector card and instructions.
The microcassette mode of this toy is thicker than a normal microcassette, meaning it may not fit inside some toys that only hold one microcassette. It will fit into toys that are designed to hold multiple cassettes at the same time by taking up the space of two tapes.
Night Stalker shares a mold with Justice Iron Paw and Evil Iron Paw.
