Buzzer's Filecard

Figure Description:

Buzzer was first released as part of the fourth series (1985). He was also available in 1986 and was discontinued in 1987.

Versions of Buzzer:

• Version One (1985)
• Version Two (2004)
• Version Three (2005)
• Version Four (2007)

Accessories:

Buzzer came with a silver chain saw, a silver axe, a silver backpack frame, and a silver gas tank that attached to the backpack.

Variations:

There are multiple versions of Buzzer's filecard.

The first beige version of Buzzer's filecard described that Buzzer "went to Australia to research the biker gang-phenomenon only to be transformed into the very object of his research" and that "Years of intellectual displeasure caused repressed psychotic anger".

The second beige version of Buzzer's filecard described that Buzzer "went to Australia to research the biker gang-phenomenon only to be transformed into the very object of his research" - but it changed the later text to say "Years of intellectual displeasure and extreme indignation at society's two-faced morality".

The third version of Buzzer's filecard further changed the text and described that Buzzer "went to Australia for a short respite only to find himself -- one year later -- transformed into a vexated wanderer".

There have also been found a version of Buzzer's filecard that has the text changes applied on with a sticker.

It is unclear which version of the filecard is more difficult to find.

Body Construction:

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

Note that Buzzer's head only turns left and right - it does not have the head "ball" that allowed a figure's head to swivel back and forth. Other figures from this series had the new head "ball". It's clear that this figure was designed in 1984.

International Variants:

In India, Buzzer was released in slightly darker colors and in drastically different red colors.
