Variations
There are three versions of the Red Star filecard. The first version incorrectly depicts a Cobra logo on the filecard. The second version includes a G.I.Joe label covering the Cobra logo. The third version is the corrected filecard, with the G.I.Joe logo on the filecard. This third version is the easiest one to find.
Body Construction
Red Star's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures.
Red Star's entire mold was later re-used in 1998 to create Colonel Brekhov.
