Rarity & Significance
Common to moderately uncommon. Being a late 80s 'neon' era figure, it is popular with fans of the Cobra air force and space-themed joes. It is culturally significant for representing the G.I. Joe line's shift into more sci-fi and fantastical designs.
Special Features
Originally included a gold pistol, a black submachine gun, a removable silver visor, and a backpack with fold-out wings and two silver missiles (all currently missing).
Notable Variations
There are minor shades of orange paint variations depending on the factory of origin (China vs Hong Kong), but no major known sculpt variants for the 1989 release.
