yojoe.com while AMAZING... is incredibly not always complete with he international information. (not all funskool figs are listed I.E. "Yellow Belt" B.A.T. etc.) I don't know the back story behind this SS... but it definitely looks... 'funky' thats for sure.

that's not a variant; it's just been left out in the sun for a long time. I had the same thing happen to my SS when I lived in AZ.

http://cgi.ebay.com/1984-G-I-Joe-STO...2em118Q2el1247 I noticed that recently too. For example the Dreadnok Ram Sears exclusive has no variants listed but I own 2 different versions and have seen a third. |

Yeah Stormy's definately "toasted". Don't bother bidding on that piece of garbage. He is suffering from the same damage that any other action figure made from the same white plastic goes through over the years when they are not protected from the elements. I have 3 1984 Stormshadows and 1 is pretty decent. The second one has slight discoloration. The thrid one could be this guy on ebay's twin brother.
Be careful when it comes to handling old white plastic figures. Yellowing can occur from simple things like sunlight, to other things you might not realize like smoking and even the oils in your skin. |

thats the 'i shit my self' storm shadow variant.

YES THERE IS A VARIANT 84 STORM SHADOW! but it has nothing to do with the color of the figure. yellowing means a "de-valued figure"
the variation is in the eyebrows. the early versions had very thin eyebrows and eyes, while later versions had very thick eyebrows. just for a future reference if you are looking for an 84 variant storm shadow |
