While the other original 13 figures may have some reused parts, Sgt. Flash has none whatsoever. This figure looks dead on, like the original figure. Flash is the first figure with a movable visor attached to his helmet. The torso has a grove made into it so the removable belt can fit flush into the mold and looks like it's part of the mold. The belt buckle is different from the original it's now the old Hasbro logo. His gun and backpack look like they're straight re-releases of the originals, but a closer look shows that the backpack has much more detail sculpted on it and the gun has a peg on the side of it that can be used to store it on the backpack. Sgt. Flash comes with a Laser Gun, Backpack, Helmet with Visor and GI Joe Stand.
One thing I wish they had updated is the cord coming off the gun that attaches to the backpack. It has a nice nostalgia factor, but it's a drawback that could have been fixed with some rubber tubing. One other minor gripe is with the chest joint. If the upper torso is pushed back, the sculpted chest armor has a large green stripe running across it. The visual aspect of this could have been corrected with adding some red paint to the space between both torso halves. Flash is a great update of a figure and should be in everyone's collection.

awesome figure to be certain. i, in fact replaced the "wire'' with some black tubing and i also smoked the inside of the visor.
i say 9/10 also. i do believe that comic pack hawk, had the first movable visor of the 25th line. |

Possible, problem is that both wave 5 and the comic packs were hitting the US around the same time. In my area Wave 5 showed up first then the comic packs (and that's even with me having the comic packs pre-ordered from TRU)

As most other have stated, this also is a favorite of mine as well. Lots of nostalgia with this as Flash was the first Joe I bought in '82, along with the Jump Jetpack and platform. Still love this one.

Somehow it made total sense to me that Flash was released so early in the line as I know he was a favorite with lots of people. Great review, and I agree on all points, especially about the rifle hose; the stiff plastic makes the weapon pop out of his hand sometimes.
