Figure Description:

Clutch (version 3) was released carded as part of the twelfth series (1993) as part of the Mega Marines subset.

He was discontinued domestically in 1994.

In 2003, Clutch was renamed "Double Clutch". So while there are several names, there are a total of six figures based on the character "Clutch".

Accessories:

Clutch came with three black rifles, a black machete, a yellow missile launcher (spring loaded, actually fired), two black missiles, a black figure stand, yellow armor, and a cannister of "moldable bio-armor".

The "moldable bio-armor" was Play-Doh that could be molded onto the figure using the armor piece.

Except for the missile launcher, armor, and cannister of Play-Doh, all of Clutch's accessories came attached to one plastic "tree". The accessories were removed from the tree.
