Variations:

There were two variants of the Flint action figure. The first variant has black highlights on the figure's legs. The second variant does not. The variant without the highlights is pictured left - the variant with highlights is pictured right.

There are also two variants of the packaging. The earlier first variant featured the G.I.Joe logo horizontally at the top of the card. The filecard on the back of the packaging was the "standard" size. The later second variant featured the G.I.Joe logo vertically on the left side of the card and the filecard was reduced down to "baseball card" size.

Body Construction:

Flint's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures.

Flint's mold was re-used to create Rock n Roll (v6)/Flint (v6) (2001).
