Ok odds are some know about this but maybe you haven't seen it, as I think is a pretty obscure piece of Joe trivia, but I was going thru my old comics and found Marvel Age #34 which featured a Meet the New Joes segment...most of which were the guys from the 86 line...Lowlight, Lifeline, etc...except the following...Hedge-Hopper...
As you can see there is no picture for Hedge-Hopper but he suspicously sounds like an early version of Star Duster who would be a mail in in 87...but Star Duster (Starduster (v1) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive) has a pretty differant profile right up from Hedge-Hopper so I thought I would share it. |

Hedge-Hopper? Why not Puddle-Jumper? Still that is a cool piece of history, now for the carded custom... anyone?

Heh, this thread is useless without a custom Hedge Hopper.
Do I hear Hedge Hopper for the FSS 3.0 mystery figure? Since the write-up specifically mentions the jump, I wonder if this was intended as a repacked/repainted set similar to when they did the blue SNAKE Armor, but with a figure pack-in. Last edited by JediJones; 06-28-2014 at 11:29 PM.. |

Ah, well, never had Starduster but I just checked and saw his file card mentions the JUMP as well. That's too much of a coincidence to not assume this was simply an early bio/code name for Starduster.
But since the figure was planned this early, it makes one wonder if he originally had a different visual design that wasn't based on reused parts. Last edited by JediJones; 06-28-2014 at 11:34 PM.. |

But yeah its clearly an early SD figure. That said I think I would love to see people take a shot at custome Hedge-Hopper figures....sounds like a lot of fun. I may even be tempted to do one now myself. |
