Body Construction:

Wild Weasel's body mold was made up of entirely original parts.

The body mold was re-used in 1988 to create the figure Sky Striker.

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:

Some international versions of Wild Weasel have a 1988 date stamp instead of a 1984 date stamp. At some point after the mold was used to create Sky Striker, the mold was re-used to create more Wild Weasel figures.

In the United Kingdom and Europe, Wild Weasel was renamed Red Wolf and released with the Roboskull vehicle.
