Recondo's Filecard

Figure Description:

Recondo was released carded as part of the third series (1984). He was also sold in 1985, then was discontinued domestically in 1986.

Versions of Recondo:

• Version One (1984)
• Version Two (1988)
• Version Three (2003)
• Version Four (2004)
• Version Five (2005)

Accessories:

Recondo came with a green rifle and a green backpack.

Variations:

The camoflage patterns on Recondo's legs were done in two different styles. One version has brown stripes in a particular pattern (pictured above), the other version has green stripes in another pattern.

Neither variation seems to be more difficult to find than the other.

Body Construction:

Recondo's body mold is entirely original and not made up from previous molds.

Recondo's entire mold was re-used in 1988 for the Tiger Force Recondo (v2).

Recondo's chest piece and waist piece was re-colored and re-used in some versions of Starduster.

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 Europe, Recondo was sold boxed in the mid-80s with the Silent Attack. In Brazil, Recondo was sold in 1986 as Patrulheiro da Selva, Codename: Leopardo.
