Grunt - Stars & Stripes
as he should have been in 1997

Parts Used - 1983 Grunt figure and accessories

Ah, what we could have had in 1997.  Here you see what was initially planned for what eventually became a Toys R Us exclusive.  As with many of my customs using more valuable parts, this figure is an amalgam of spare parts accumulated over the years, including reissues of existing molds.  No intact 1983 Grunt figures were harmed in the creation of this movie figure.  I took a little artistic liberty here and included Grunt's original backpack rather than Lady Jaye's as pictured on the prototype piece, and tossed in his M-16 for good measure.  The coloring on the front of this figure is a bit of guesswork as we only see him in the pic from the back.
