Julio is the Latin musician.
Originating in Crew 3, his G1 figure was a darker skinned version of Crew 2 Billy. For real, G1 Julio was just a variant of Billy's sculpt. He was a generic dude with a backwards cap. But like I said, he had darker skin. (This was actually the only time, ever, that Tech Deck gave a variant a new name.)
G1 Julio has three minor variants: Black cap with black shoes, black cap with yellow shoes, and yellow cap with yellow shoes.
According to both trading card series, there were some plans to release a G2 Julio. He was drawn wearing a serape (a woven blanket-like shawl), a sombrero (a wide-brimmed hat), and holding two maracas (rattles used to make music).
For some reason, this figure was never produced. This image is a rare non-dudette example of a redrawn character that was never made into a figure.
Julio did resurface in G3. He is a very boring figure holding a guitar case in his right hand. He also has long hair, a belt buckle, and boots. He vaguely seems like a nod to Julio Iglesias, the best selling Latin artist of all time.
There are three variants of this sculpt also: black, orange, and pale blue outfits.
