So while there are several names, they are all based on the character "Stalker".In 2006, a Lonzo R. Wilkinson figure was released, showing Stalker from his years prior to G.I.Joe.Accessories:Stalker came with a M-32 submachine gun.Variations:When the new version of Stalker was released in 1983, two major changes were made to his construction. The straight-arms were replaced with arms that could swivel at the bicep, and his bulky waist-piece was replaced by a slimmer one. Also, the date stamp on the figure was changed from "1982" to "82-83". While technically only a variation, the changes are substantive enough to consider this a new version. However, as many people consider this only a variation, we have chosen to list this figure as version 1.5, rather than version 2. Other than "straight-arm" and "swivel-arm" releases, no variations of Stalker are known to exist.There are two versions of Stalker's filecard. The one that came from Hasbro Direct has a glossy red backing, while the one that came with the carded Stalker does not Stalkers included with the Sears or JCPenney's exclusive gift packs also had the red backing.Body Construction:Most of the 1982 series figures and their swivel-arm counterparts re-used molds from each other, repainted slightly to make them seem more original.Stalker's arms were shared with Grunt,Hawk, Short-fuze, Snake Eyes, and Zap (and in 1983 Tan Grunt). Stalker's torso was shared with Breaker, Grunt, Hawk, and Snake Eyes (and in 1983 Tan Grunt). Stalker's waist-piece was shared with twelve of the original fifteen figures. Stalker's legs were shared with Breaker, Clutch, Grunt, Hawk, Rock N Roll, Shortfuze, Steeler, and Zap (and in 1983 Tan Grunt and in 1984 Tan Clutch).Note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down. The heads only turned left and right until the the swivel ball head that was introduced in 1985 (Series Four).International Variants:In Argentina, straight-arm Stalker was recolored in light blue and released as Manleh.A version of Stalker nearly identical to the U.S. version was released in Argentina as Cheetah and in Brazil as TritonDescription borrowed directly from .
