Hardtop's Filecard

Figure Description:

Hardtop was released as part of the sixth series (1987), packaged exclusively with the Defiant: Space Vehicle Launch Complex. He was also sold in 1988, then was discontinued domestically in 1989.

Versions of Hardtop:

• Version One (1987)
• Version Two (2004)

Accessories:

Hardtop came with a white mouthpiece and a black handgun.

SEE VARIATIONS BELOW.

Variations:

Some versions of Hardtop did not come with the black handgun.

How common this variation is is a point of debate among G.I.Joe collectors. Some believe that many, if not most, Hardtops came with no handgun at all. Considering this, Hardtop's handgun may be the most difficult accessory to find.

Body Construction:

Hardtop's body mold is entirely original and not made up from previous molds. Hardtop's legs were re-used in 1991 to create Major Altitude.
