A graduate of Special Forces School as well as the Flight Warrant Officers' School and a former Rhodes Scholar, Flint was a natural choice to head up the new G.I. Joe Environmental Force. When equipped with a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) parachute, Flint can also be inserted into a Cobra toxic sludge operation with his Anti-Tox missiles and laser weapons system and stop evil polluters before they can do their damage.
"All those toxic waste Cobras had better watch out, now that FLINT is on the job. He is one tough, snake-eating, hill-climbing, no-gruff-taking, no-nonsense paratrooper and when it comes to polluters, it's like he has a personal axe to grind. The last guy he caught puffing on a cigarette in an elevator ended up eating it."
Variations
No variations of Flint (v3) are known to exist.
Featured In
Flint was featured in several of the various media of GI Joe through the years, including Trading Cards, Comic Books, Cartoons and Commercials.
Body Construction
Flint (v3)'s body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures.
The entire mold was re-used to create Flint (v5) (2001).
Like all the Eco-Warriors figures, spots on Flint were covered with a special color-change plastic. When the figure was hit with water, the plastic changed colors to simulate "battle damage."
