Re: Recondo Variations
Nope, must be dreamin. Have you ever seen the black leg Commando carded variant?
Another thing I just noticed (the obvious) as to the new shape of the SA MKII top. Its raised so you don't have to force the figure in. My guess is that the Series 3 figures won't fit into the MKI without breakage. Hence the new mold.

Probably so. Now I've seen it I don't like it!

Yeah, me either really. But the SA is still an A-grade piece of kit. Tho it does mean the new Q version is a MKIII.

Re: Recondo Variations
There are four variation of Recondo's camo in my book. You can check the four here:

keg_daddy is a collector on yojoe.com, collects variations from the 83-85 US series.
As to the green hat vs. olive hat. I have a pic here:

I know for a fact that the UK kayak as discussed does have the green hat Recondo, the gun and backpack also match. I am not sure if this is a UK exclusive color or tied to the camo color.
The Brazil Recondo has an even brighter green accessories and a darker skin tone. Pic here:

PS: I am in need of the green colored gun to complete the one in the pic. PM me if you want to trade.

Re: Recondo Variations
No gun sorry mate, just the broken figure. Looking at them again and not so under the influence of drugs.
My two Recondo's are the same as the ones in your pic. However. US Recondo's chest has either faded or isn't as pink as the UK one. The shoulder holster straps on the US on are lighter while the belt is darker than the UK one. Looks almost backwards. Leg Camo is thinner and brighter on the UK one. Thin green I think is how its referred to by Kegdaddy's pics. And still no logo on the shoulder. stands to reason for AF as he's supposed to be an Aussie, not a Yank.
