GoodGuy9's Ebay Auctions
Let's edit two things...

Heckler & Koch 416 (with Troy Industries stock)-we can't say which Stoner/AR design it is for sure, however we know it has HERA's CQR grip on the front with Troy or Magpul's stock

Duke/Stalker submachinegun-it's based on the prototype MP5 with Walther's MPL or MPK stock which was use use during the time Joe RAH debuted

The bird Raptor uses is a Peregrine Falcon I think.

Raptor himself comes with 2 guns, his revolver and
his muscles.

I didn't see anything about Recondo's pistol. I was going to wait until I had him and could take a good look in person, but I've started waffling on actually getting him. Anyway, everything I've seen in reviews tells me that his pistol is clearly based on a Sig P320 XCompact, with biggest differences, which are still small, being the shape of the trigger guard and beavertail.
Since I don't have him in hand, I've had to borrow a couple cropped pics of the pistol from Youtubers.

I noticed that. I just didn't add it yet. I like this choice because M17 is the official sidearm of the Army. I'm not going to trip off of Recondo having the M18 because there's very little differences between the M17 and M18, also I'm not an anal and persnickety military gun dude. Though they're different companies doing different things I would like to compare Hasbro's Sig to Gridiron's.

They do which is why Retro G.H.'s pistol is so cool. We saw what you did there, Hasbro, LOL. This also proves that they pay attention to detail when they want to.

Recondo doesn't have an M18. It's very close, but the grips are different. The M18 doesn't have the round Sig Logo like the XCompact. Granted, Recondo's pistol doesn't have the Sig logo, either, but it does have the same grips as the XCompact and a round thing where the logo would be.

Would you say the pistol he has was inspired by the M18. The things you pointed out might be the cosmetic changes Hasbro made to avoid legal issues.

I wouldn't, because his pistol is a little replica of an XCompact. I'd say the only real cosmetic changes they made for legal reasons was losing "SIG" in the roundel on the grips and the change to the shape of the trigger guard. As you can see in the photos, the XCompact is VERY close to an M18, except for the grips, the shape of the slide catch, as well as the length of the beavertail, which is probably the only thing on Recondo's pistol that I would say is more M18 than XCompact. The XCompact grips with the roundel and the shape of the slide catch (albeit a bit simplified) are both replicated on Recondo's pistol.
