Figure Description:

Zap (version 3) was released as part of the fourteenth series (1997) in the Stars and Stripes Forever boxed set with Breaker, Grunt, Rock N Roll, Scarlett, Short-fuse, Snake Eyes, and Stalker.

Versions of Zap:

• Zap (1982)
• Zap v1.5 (1983) (Swivel Arm)
• Zap v2 (1991)
• Sgt. Zap (1997)
• Zap v3 (2004)
• Zap v4 (2007) - as Rafael "Zap" Melendez
• Zap v5 (2009) - as Rafael "Zap" Melendez

In 1997, Zap was renamed "Sgt. Zap". So while there are several names, they are all based on the character "Zap".

Accessories:

Zap came with a green bazooka, a green and black backpack, and a green helmet. [See VARIATIONS below.]

Variations:

Some versions of Zap came with the backpack pictured above. It is the same mold as the other backpack. However, this backpack is black with green painted missiles, as opposed to green with black painted missiles.

It's uncertain at this time if one variant is harder to find than the other.

Body Construction:

Zap (version 6) is a complete repaint made from the original Zap (1982).

Note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down.
