The 1986 Mattel BraveStarr Sand Storm action figure is one of the most distinctive villains in the vintage BraveStarr toy line. Based on the Sand Walrus alien from Dino-Texas, Sand Storm served as a brutish enforcer for Tex Hex. His unusual design features red scaly skin, massive tusks, a gaping mouth, reptilian fins, and a bulky custom torso with a detailed black-and-red cybernetic chest plate.

Sand Storm's internal action mechanism prevents his head from turning, leaving him permanently facing forward. His signature Vapor Spray-Blast gimmick uses a water reservoir inside the torso, filled through a rubber plug on his back. Pressing the rear button releases a fine mist of water from his mouth.

The included gold Vapor Blaster adds a second function: inserting it into Sand Storm's mouth converts the mist into a focused stream of water. With its unique walrus-inspired alien sculpt, custom body design, and unusual water-spraying feature, the 1986 Mattel Sand Storm figure remains a standout vintage BraveStarr collectible.
