Rarity & Significance
Highly iconic character within the G.I. Joe mythos. While more common than the 1984 Version 1, the 1988 Version 2 is culturally significant for the 'Ninja Force' evolution and is a staple for loose collectors.
Special Features
Originally included a black compound bow, a black sword, and a black backpack with two removable claws (missing in photo). Functional 'o-ring' waist articulation and swivel neck.
Notable Variations
Early releases have a slightly different plastic composition that yellows more severely. There is also a 1997 reissue with different paint applications and various international Funskool or Estrela releases with color tweaks.
