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:
“The Child’s Toys and the Old Man’s Reasons
Are the Fruits of the Two seasons.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“Man hath still either toys or care:
But hath no root, nor to one place is tied,
But ever restless and irregular,
About this earth doth run and ride.
He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where;
He says it is so far,
That he has quite forgot how to go there.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
