Toys
Grunt was first released as an action figure as part of the original 1982 line. His action figure featured him in a gray combat body suit. All of the original sixteen figures from 1982 were released with "straight arms". The same figure was re-released in 1983 with "swivel-arm battle grip", which made it easier for figures to hold their rifles and accessories. The swivel-arm version of the figure was also re-colored tan, and released in 1983 packaged with the "Falcon" attack glider. In 1986, the original swivel-arm version of the figure was included in the "Original Team" mail-away set. A new version of Grunt was released in 1991, with an all-new mold and head sculpt.

Famous quotes containing the word toys:
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“The Child’s Toys and the Old Man’s Reasons
Are the Fruits of the Two seasons.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“If, during his daily walk, he met any children flying kites, playing marbles, or whirling peg tops, he would buy the toys from them and exhort them not to gamble or indulge in vain sport.”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
