Thank's Sundance..
I hadn't noticed

in the Snowcat, & thinking back & sort of off-topic slightly,but looking @ the artwork on the Armadillo box,it has Spirit Iron Knife on it to my knowledge he (well this version) wasn't released in the U.K....

Getting back to the badgeing on the vehicle photo's...the lighting & every thing seems the same, so, I think this was before photoshop & other computer jiggery pokerry, where the A.F. logos airbrushed in later..or was it just a very good re-shoot?

I was double-checking that Spirit release just the other day, there's no sign of him on any of the cardbacks or promo catalogues.

It may must of been an oversight, or too much work to replace the image?
Do any other "stray" Joes turn up in Hasbro A.F packaging art work I wonder?

Probably! Spirit also appears on the Forward Observer Unit box.

It's possible that it was the same packaging in all the countries just rebranded Action Force or whatever equivalent name rather than repackaging the whole box with new artwork.

Considering the fact Spirit was an American Indian, & the international nature of

, I'm surprised Palitoy didn't release him!
Not all regions had generic art, the Japanese had that cool futuristic blue & white packaging..
I'd like to see what the Turkish firm Uzay could of produced for Knock-off Joe figures, photo wise, as some of their Star Wars knock-off card backs are truly bizarre & wonderfull creations.
