Accessories:

Stalker came with three different black guns, a black machete, a black missile launcher (spring loaded, actually fired), two black missiles, and a black figure stand.

Except for the missile launcher, all of Stalker's accessories came attached to one plastic "tree". The accessories were removed from the tree.

Variations:

There were two variants of the Stalker action figure. The first variant has yellow highlights on the figure's chest and has the date stamp "MADE IN INDONESIA." The second variant does not have the yellow highlights but does have the inner leg bands painted. It has the date stamp "MADE IN CHINA."

There are also two variants of the packaging. The earlier first variant featured the G.I.Joe logo horizontally at the top of the card. The filecard on the back of the packaging was the "standard" size. The later second variant featured the G.I.Joe logo vertically on the left side of the card and the filecard was reduced down to "baseball card" size.

Body Construction:

Stalker's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures. None of his parts were ever used to create other figures.
