This special version of Scrap-Iron was available carded in India in 1988 and
again in 2002. G.I.Joe toys in India were produced by the Funskool toy company.
Accessories:
Scrap-Iron came with a black RAR pistol, a five piece missile system, a black
remote control "activator", and two red missiles.
Of the five piece missile system, two pieces snapped together to form the
body of the missile system, while the other three pieces formed the legs and
base of the system.
Variations:
In 2002 Scrap-Iron was made using the upper arms of
Toxo-Viper (1988).
Body Construction:
The entire figure is made from the same mold of the U.S. release of Scrap-Iron
(1984). The Variant figure is shown above.
Noticeable differences are the lack of the cobra emblem on the figure's right
arm, flesh colored chest, and the Funskool
Stamp on the figures backside.
In addition, the plastic used is of a lower quality compared to the U.S.
release.
