1st Version Dan
Dan first appeared in Canada in the 'Mod years'. He has flocked hair (may be related to copying the flocked US GI Joe heads) and came in the "in mod colors boxes". This Dan version has a pale blue body with open hands and were usually sold with black and silver accessories but sometimes with bronze and silver accessories.
Flocked Dan was then given closed hands and solde in the yellow square bilingual box for a short period. Both pale blue Dans have the regular shoulder spring. Notice the change of the title font between the Yellow Square and the In New Mod Colours boxes..
