There are some great old threads about Fighting Yank, but most of the linked pics are long gone. I'm trying to get the timeline straight......please chime in. I think this is how it goes?
The first Fighting Yank was the Princess Grace release that was the direct copy of Hasbro's GI Joe and got Mego sued.
The second release was the Mintex (Mego Industrial Textiles) release that used a lower-quality body and a copy of the Pedigree Tommy Gunn head.
The third release continued with the Mintex body but the head was updated to a "Mod" version.
Some of my confusion comes from seeing the Tommy Gunn type head on bodies that look like the first Hasbro copy release. Was there a transition, or am I just seeing swapped heads or Pedigree bodies?
