Variations:

No variations of Snow Job are known to exist.

There are two versions of Snow Job's filecard. The one that came from the J.C.Penney's mail-order set has a glossy red backing, while the one that came carded does not.

Body Construction:

Snow Job's head, chest, waist, legs, and lower arms were original. Snow Job's upper arms were originally used with the swivel-arm versions of Grunt, Hawk, Short-fuze, Snake Eyes, Stalker, and Zap. The entire mold was re-used in 1997 to create Snow Job (v2) and in 2000 to create Whiteout.

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).
