Rarity & Significance
Highly iconic early-series G.I. Joe figure. While not rare, finding one 'complete' with the fragile mask, helmet, and original cord is considered a win for collectors of the 1984 line.

Notable Variations
A 'grey-smear' variation exists on the back of some figures; packaging varied between the 1984 single card and the 1985 dual-back cards.
