1994 continued the tradition of oversized, spring-loaded weapons. These powerful weapons shoot over 10 feet.
Most 1994 figures included a weapons tree, a mostly generic selection of previously released weapons, still on the plastic sprues.
Action Soldier's brown weapons tree included a rifle, a pistol, a missile, three walls, sandbags and a missile launcher mount.
A green missile launcher and a green backpack were also included in the package.

Filecard information:
ACTION SOLDIER
U.S. ARMY INFANTRY
"My first years in the Army were extremely valuable, as they served as the foundation upon which my G.I. Joe career would be built.
Every G.I. Joe worth his weight in ammo received training at one of the U.S. military branches, although no training can replace field experience when it comes to raw combat. When the shells start exploding and the bullets start to fly, you'd better know how to react with split-second reflexes. As a G.I. Joe, you not only learn when to stand and fight, but when to take cover as well!"

Note that the individually packaged 30th anniversary figures featured card art on the file cards, while the boxed set featured product photos.

There are several differences in the 30th anniversary figures released individually, sometimes including paint apps, serial numbers on their feet, and different colored accessories. For full coverage of these differences, visit this 3DJoes Facebook album.
