Variations
Two different versions of Xamot's scar have been found - one with a short pink scar and the other with a longer red scar. It's unclear which version is more difficult to find.
Body Construction
Xamot's body is completely original - all new body parts. The entire mold was re-used in 2002 to create Xamot (v2).
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.
Versions of Xamot
In 2009, Xamot was renamed "Crimson Twin." So while there are multiple names, they are all based on the same character.
