Long Arm's Filecard

Figure Description:

Long Arm was released carded as part of the twelfth series (1993). The 1993 Battle Corps figures were numbered 1 through 36 - Long Arm was number 31.

Long Arm was intended to be part of the 1993 assortment of D.E.F. (Drug Elimination Force) subset. However, Hasbro decided not to release any D.E.F. toys in 1993 and instead repackaged them as Battle Corps toys.

He was discontinued domestically in 1994.

Versions of Long Arm:

• Version One (1993)
• Version Two (2008)

Accessories:

Long Arm came with two red rifles, a red knife, an orange helmet, a red shield (that attached to the missile launcher), a black missile launcher (spring loaded, actually fired), two red missiles, and a red figure stand.

Except for the missile launcher and helmet, all of Long Arm's accessories came attached to one plastic "tree". The accessories were removed from the tree.

Variations:

There are no known variations of Long Arm.

Body Construction:

Long Arm's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures and no parts were ever re-used.

Note the unusual construction of Long Arm's chestpiece, which is molded to allow the helmet to snap onto it.

International Variants:

In Australia, Long Arm was released on D.E.F. packaging instead of Battle Corps packaging.
