The G.I Joe talking Adventure Team Commander is the leader of the Adventure Team with life like hair and beard released in 1970 along with the other Adventure Team members. A black version of the talking commander (with lifelike hair and beard) was released in 1973 under the same name but with black hair and brown eyes. In 1974, the figure was re-released with Kung-Fu grip as well as the other figures. In 1976, it was re-released a second time with life like body (Kung-Fu grip and talking device included.)
