Voltar v1 was released in 1988 as part of the Iron Grenadiers subset. There is a variant on Voltar, he was either "Made in Hong Kong" or "Made in China." The China variants seem harder to find.

Voltar v1 was later rereleased in 1988 at part of the Target Exclusive Ultimate Enemies 2pk with Muskrat. The only way to tell the Voltars a part, this one came with an orange file card instead of the gray.

Wild Card v1 was released in 1988, as the driver for the Mean Dog.

Thanks for looking!

Voltage has a pretty interesting sculpt actually & wild card with that sheathed machete backpack was one of the cooler accessories. Nice imaginitive scene to showcase them both👍🏻

I really like the lighting and mood of the setting. Seems a little damp, but not cold. These play well off of each other, too.

Beauty of a Shot! Great info on some figs I'm not familiar with, off the top of your head. How many named o-ring figs were released? not including variants...

Wild Card was a bad ass figure outside the mean dogg.

There were like 550 vintage figures including street fighter and later subsets. Tons of molds were repainted more than once and characters were repeated. But, that was still a decent amount of overall figures.

However, I think Hasbro released more than 600 more between 1997 and 2006. I shudder to think how many anniversary style figures were made.

Mike is right Andy, it about 550 figures released from 1982 to 1994.

From 1995 to 2006 (Sgt. Savage to 25th Style) it almost 800 figures.

20017 to 2016 you are well over 900 figures

Sprinkle in around 100 "real" variations

Equals we are all insane!!!!

Thanks!...Do you guys know how many actual individual characters were created?
I mean there is probably 69 (haha) Snake eyes vs 1 Helix (haha again)....is 550 individual characters with their own stories (Life)? A pretty...well actually the Most Amazing In Depth Toy Line of All Time! I've Got Adventure Team 45 records of personality and Adventure (just see my avatar)
The funny thing is.....Hasbro did the figs to sell the vehicles! A lot of peeps are very more fig minded!

I guess you have some of the same OCD I have Andy, because I created a spreadsheet for this very matter. By my count there are 580 or so individual characters that exist in the Joe Universe, that is including all the vipers as one character and everyone from ARAH to Sgt. Savage to GI Joe Extreme to today.

She is listed as Agent Helix. :-). Noticed that the list wasn't updated since 2014 so there are a few new characters that would have been added Like Marissa Fairborne.

Wow! GREAT INFORMATION!!! Funny how some characters had tons of figures while others had just one.

!SightLine!
