Variations:

Two different versions of Xamot's scar have been found - one with a short pink scar and the other with a longer red scar. It's unclear which version is more difficult to find.

Body Construction:

Xamot's body is completely original - all new body parts. The entire mold was re-used in 2002 to create Xamot (v2).

Starting with this series (Series Four, 1985), the head joint on G.I.Joe figures was changed into a head "ball". This ball allowed the head to look up and down, in addition to left and right.
