Variations

No variations of Gung-Ho (v1) are known to exist.

Body Construction

Gung-Ho's body is completely original - all new body parts.

Gung-Ho's waistpiece was re-colored and re-used in some versions of Steel Brigade. Gung-Ho's lower legs (boots) were re-colored and re-used to create Duke - and were thus subsequently used to create Tiger Force Duke (v2) (1988), Duke (v7) (1997), Alley Viper (v4) (1997), Alley Viper (v5) (2002), and Alley Viper (v6) (2002).

Note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down. The heads only turned left and right until the the swivel ball head that was introduced in 1985 (Series Four).

International Variants

In the United Kingdom and Europe, Gung-Ho was given a red vest, packaged with the Headquarters playset, and released as Gaucho.

In India in 1988, Gung-Ho was released in slightly different colors.
