Stony - Le Parachutiste En Commando [The Sky Commando]

Stock No. 2054

"Le Parachutiste En Commando"

He had a forest green (darker than US color) body with a darker green accessory set. His hair was also a little darker shade of red and he used the 1st edition Stony head with closed hands.

The mold used was the same as the Articulated Sky Commando US Stony and they used the 2 part spring for his shoulders (plastic loops) and the attached perch spring for his hips with a reinforced plastic loop in the left hip.
