I found this while browsing EBay.
https://m.ebay.com/itm/G-I-Joe-Cobra...cAAOSwi3tbGDVw If I'm not mistaken the missiles are from a Pac Rat, but sure enough they are the correct ones shown in the last picture of the pamphlet. For curiosities sake I did an image search and sure enough the box art for the Stinger has the same two piece black and red missiles. Has anyone else ever noticed this? |

Red and black. Interesting. I assumed these were pac rat as well but box clearly show them this way. Maybe it was a production call by Hasbro last minute to make them all red so as to differentiate the stinger missiles from the pac rat.

He uses the term "correct" when it's not. In fact, if the peg holes are different than the solid red versions, it makes me wonder if they even fit well on the rack. The lack of pictures with the missiles makes me very suspicious.

Ahh, cool. They actually look a little cooler with the PAC RAT missiles.

I did that on my vintage Stinger. I was one of those kids that liked what I had in the box to match what is shown on the box. I didn't have the concept of pre-production back then so when I the box showed it with PAC Rat missiles, then that's what I used.

As the pictures show it does fit. However, I think the reason they retooled them was that figures that were pegged on the back really got in the way of missiles with the Pac Rat tooling. The actual Stinger missiles are pegged up further so there is less figure/missile touching. The Pac Rat looks cooler for sure.

Yeah, and I never placed a figure on the back cause it didn't make sense so it didn't matter to me that the PAC Rat missiles set further back on the rack.
