Figure Description:

Zap (v3) was released in a three pack as part of the twentieth series (2004). The pack also included Grunt (v8), Snake Eyes (v20), and a reprint of issue four of the comic book.

While the front of the package named the figure Raphael "Zap" Melendez, both the filecard and the proof of purchase named the figure Zap.

• Zap v1.5 (1983) (Swivel Arm)

• Zap v4 (2007) - as Rafael "Zap" Melendez

In 1997, Zap was renamed "Sgt. Zap". So while there are several names, they are all based on the character "Zap".
