Versions of Ice Cream Soldier:
This was the only version of Ice Cream Soldier ever released.
Accessories:
Ice Cream Soldier came with two white rifles, a white handgun, a white machete, a black missile launcher (spring loaded, actually fired), two white missiles, and a white figure stand.
Except for the missile launcher, all of Ice Cream Soldier's accessories came attached to one plastic "tree". The accessories were removed from the tree.
Variations:
There are two variants of Ice Cream Soldier's packaging and filecard. 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:
Ice Cream Soldier's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures.
The mold was re-used in 2002 to create Shock Viper.
