Just wondering: mine has reddish hair, while most have dark hair. In your esteemed opinions, is this guy a beneficiary of a head swap? It seems slightly darker than the Sea Adventurers I've seen--could it just be bleached by time?

I'm not much of a Joe expert but it's really hard to tell w/o seeing a picture. -
Could be faded, a reflock, or a head switch. Hard to say w/o seeing a photo."Do you believe, you believe in magic?

There have been cases of the Talking Commander having red hair, but that's very hard to "prove". It's all just anecdotal evidence.

A Talking Commander can have any color of hair. Many people assume Hasbro's pictures where they show a Blonde, and later a Red hair as Talking Commnader had to be wrong. 95% of time Talking Commander hair is brownish but there are legitmate varations.
I have owned old store stock never opened before me and the hair was red. I have bought many Talking Commanders from lifelong trusted friends who lived on farms and only bought through Sears catalogs with no one to play with who also had unique hair colors.
Hard Core Joe fans refuse to believe that Hasbro varied but Hasbro discounted items for Sears, JC Penny, Montgomery Wards I have no doubt that substituions were made. If you get all the vinatge Gijoe Club Magazine variations the group pictures show these varations as well as the Air Adventurer being brown haired for short period of time as well. I had the guy at Kmart open the Air Advbenturer MIB in 1974 and it was a Brown hair inside the box he opened.Comment

Thanks for all the responses. I've always thought it was common knowledge the Commander had dark hair, but had heard otherwise. It doesn't really matter to me--he's still awesome--but I found it curious. I'm just going to accept him for what he is and be glad I'm giving an old soldier a good home. Thanks, again!
