1983 swivel-arm versions of the original 1982 figures
All sixteen 1982 straight-arm figures were re-released in 1983 with updated swivel-arm articulation.
The 1982 straight-arm figures are known as v1, while the 1983 swivel-arm figures (seen below) are known as v1.5.

Since these are exactly the same figures as the 1982 versions (other than the new swivel-arms), I have added a little customization to a few of the 1.5 figures. These modifications include:
Zap: the brown helmet is from the 1983 Battle Gear Accessory Pack. It matches his brown boots and backpack straps.
Clutch: the black helmet is aftermarket. It matches his shoulder pads, pistol holster and thigh pockets.
Grand Slam: the 1982 jump box had Grand Slam flying a JUMPon the front, so I've added the JUMP for this v1.5 photo.
