Fighting Yank

[knight errant00]

I just (finally) won one of these guys on eBay.

He was the first action figure I ever owned. At age 4, I didn't know he wasn't a GI Joe (my parents were cuttig corners), and it took getting into Mego collecting as an adult to learn of my old adventure-buddy's connection to what became my favorite line of toys, WGSH . . .

So, here's my question: What's he supposed to come with? (the museum seems a little light on FY info . . . ) The one I won was in the box, but the box was damaged. I remember my original having tall black combat boots and olive turtleneck and pants. The one I just got has those, along with an all-plastic dogtag.

But I remember my original also having a green, billed cap , and I thought metal dogtags. Is that a variation, or are my memories of the early 70s just dimming? I also remember having a brown rifle, but I also had a lot of the ou****, and maybe it was an accessory with one of those . . .

All info's appreciated,

--Pat

Website..oh excuse me fancy pants..will thsi website consists of the Yank's little 6 inch cousins?

Hey,
Probably not. While I feel quite up to the task of cataloging the litterally tens of variations in the Fighting Yank line, I am still a veritable neophyte when it comes to the intricacies of the Lion Rock line. I will have to bow down and leave that to those who are so much more invested in this line, as I would not do it justice.
Hmmm, I wonder who would be best to work on that.
I'll have to figure that one out.

The Joe hands are what got them in trouble. They copied it right down to the goofed up nail.
