"If those snakes had ANY backbone, I'd be the one to break it!"
BEACH-HEAD was a lane instructor at the Ranger School in Fort Benning and an Observer/Advisor at the Covert Ops School in Central America. He is highly disciplined and actually LIKES getting up at 0500 hours for a ten mile run and PT (Physical Training) session before breakfast. Being a natu-ralist, he chooses not to use deodorant, much to the dismay of his team members who prefer not to stand too close to him in the early morning chow line. The only thing he hates, besides Cobra, are people who aren't interested in doing their best.

Filecard variant:
There were two versions of 1994 Beach-Head released, one made in China and one in Indonesia. The Indonesian filecard is noted: PRINTED IN HONG KONG. FIGURE MADE IN INDONESIA. 1-003A
In 1994, Hasbro produced figures in China and Indonesia. This resulted in several paint app variants. To compound matters further, Hasbro also changed the card art on some figures from the older horizontal logo (with a red or blue laser backdrop) to a new vertical logo (with a red or blue to black gradient background). The back of the new card also featured a reformatted baseball card sized file card with condensed writing. Several figures did not get the new vertical card art treatment. Beach-Head did not get the vertical logo treatment.
Beach-Head has no known paint app variants. There are two carded figure variants, one marked "MADE IN CHINA" (see below) and another marked "MADE IN INDONESIA" (see above). There are thirty+ known 1994 Battle Force variants featuring various packaging and paint app combinations. See them all on Facebook.
