No variations of Payload (v2) are known to exist.
Body Construction
Payload's entire body and mold were originally used in 1987 to create the original Payload.
The same mold was going to be used for Payload (v3). In fact, the photographs of the figure on the filecard for the 1993 Payload show the same mold. However, the photograph is painted that way. The original mold for Payload was lost somewhere between 1989 and 1993, so the Eco-Warriors Barbecue (v3) mold was used for all further versions of Payload.
