Variations:

In 1991 when Quick Kick was available via mail-order, the figures were manufactured in Brazil instead of China. As a result, these Quick Kick figures had some subtle differences between the original 1985 release.

Firstly, the colors were much brighter than the original. The skin tone was more "peach" in color than "tan". The plastic was of noticably lower quality also. Lastly, the accessories that this Quick Kick came with were much flimsier. The original Quick Kick's sword could not be bent without fear of breaking it or creasing it - the 1991 Quick Kick's sword bent very easily.

Other than the colors and the plastic quality, the date stamp and everything else about the two figures are identical.

Body Construction:

Quick Kick's body is completely original - all new body parts. None of his parts were ever used in other figures.

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.

International Variants:

In Argentina, Quick Kick was released as Sigilo. Sigilo had a differently painted waistpiece and arms.

In India in 1993, Quick Kick was released in slightly different colors with a differently colored waistpiece.
