Wait! I think the default head of GI Joe figures was... Dwight Stall!

YOU guys might know him BETTER as Barrel Roll. BRv2 was modeled after him, btw. The v1 is more open to interpretation. And just FYI, Major Barrage's head was based off of GI Joe comic artist Tim... Tim something or other. JUST as the faction-only Steel Brigade got figures named after them. Thomas Wheeler sound familiar??? (if not, look up the LETTERS section of the Marvel series AND check out the early DDP run, you'll see his name. SOmtimes 2 months in a row!)
