Keel-Haul was released as part of the fourth series (1985), packaged exclusively with the Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Flagg. He was also sold in 1986, then was discontinued domestically in 1987.
In 1989, he was available mail-order as part of the "Special Missions Drivers" set with Ace, Thunder, Lampreys, Strato-Viper, and Motor Viper.
Left-over bagged Keel-Haul figures were eventually released through some strange channels and ended up as prizes at Chuck E. Cheese pizza/arcades and carnivals around the country as "Skeeball" prizes in 1993.
This action figure is often referred to as "Admiral Keel-Haul".
