Carded Figure

Airborne's Filecard


Figure Description

Airborne was released carded as part of the second series (1983).

Airborne was sold in 1984 and was discontinued domestically in 1985. In 1986 and 1987, Hasbro Direct offered Airborne as part of the "Original Adventure Team" mail-in set. He came packaged in a plastic bag and came with nine other figures in a carrying case.


Versions of Airborne:

In 2003, Airborne was renamed "Sgt. Airborne". So while there are several names, there are a total of four figures based on "Airborne". Also note that Version Two has a different file name than Versions One, Three, and Four.


Accessories:


Airborne came with a light green helmet (with goggles molded onto them), a black Car-15 assault rifle with bayonet, and a tan backpack.

Variations:

No variations of Airborne are known to exist.

There are two versions of Airborne's filecard. The one that came from Hasbro Direct has a glossy red backing, while the one that came carded does not.


Body Construction:

Airborne's body is completely original - all new body parts.

Note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down. The heads only turned left and right until the the swivel ball head that was introduced in 1985 (Series Four).

Airborne's arms and lower portion of his legs were recolored and used to create Scrap-Iron (1984). Airborne's chest and legs were recolored and used with some versions of the Steel Brigade figures.


International Variants:

In Argentina, Airborne was produced with slight color variations and a blue collar and released as Condor. There was also a Brazilian version of Condor.

Also in Brazil, Airborne was recolored in Python Patrol colors and released as Naja Pistoleiro : Gatilho.
