Body Construction
While Ken Masters had an original head, the rest of the figure was created using the mold of Storm Shadow (v3) (1992). The entire Ken Masters mold was also used to create Ken Masters (v2) (1993).
The body was designed with the martial arts action - "Double Fireball Fists." If the figure's left arm was raised, the right arm would move back. The left arm could then be let go, causing the right arm to spring forward in a punching motion.
Note that there are two cloth ribbons attached to Ken Masters' right hip.
Versions of Ken Masters
A Street Fighter Movie version of Ken Masters was released in 1994, but the Street Fighter Movie figures are not considered G.I.Joe figures.
