Figure Description:
Bazooka was first released as part of the fourth series (1985). He was also available in 1986 and was discontinued in 1987.
In 1989, Bazooka was available for a short time via mail-order from Hasbro Direct.
|
Versions of Bazooka:
In 2004, Bazooka was renamed "Sgt. Bazooka." So while there are several names, there are a total of five figures based on the character "Bazooka".
|
Accessories:
SEE VARIATIONS BELOW.
The first release of Bazooka came with a black bazooka/missile launcher, a green backpack, and a green helmet.
|
Variations:
In late 1985, Hasbro changed the missile launcher packaged with Bazooka to the one pictured above. All versions of Bazooka released from then on in the United States, internationally, and via mail-order from Hasbro Direct came with this new missile launcher.
|
Body Construction:
Bazooka's body is completely original - all new body parts.
Bazooka's entire body and mold were re-used for the 1988 "Tiger Force" Bazooka.
Bazooka's waist and legs were later recolored and re-used to create Rumbler (1987).
Starting with this series (Series Four, 1985), the head joint on G.I.Joe figures was changed into a head "ball". This ball allowed the head to look up and down, in addition to left and right.
