Figure Description:

Scoop was first released carded as part of the eighth series (1989). He was also sold in 1990, then was discontinued domestically in 1991.

Webmaster's Note:

It was common practice for Hasbro to name and sculpt G.I.Joe characters after real-life individuals. For Scoop, NBC television news reporter "Mike Leonard" was used to model the figure after. The character of Scoop was even given the real name "Leonard Michaels".
