When he was first introduced in 1964, GI Joe took the toy world by storm. With 21 movable parts and loads of detailed accessories, "America's Movable Fighting Man" quickly became a sensation and a new way to play for boys across the nation and around the world.
To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of America's greatest toy soldier, GI Joe, Hasbro began releasing large box sets that included a boxed 12 inch action figure from one of the four Armed Services (Action Soldier, Action Marine, Action Pilot and Action Sailor) and related uniform and accessory sets. The 40th packaging was almost identical to the original items.
Original plans called for 30 different sets to be released, however, the line was cancelled before completion and not all the sets were manufactured and / or released.
You are bidding on the 40th Anniversary Action Sailor Frogman Set, 2nd in the series. The Frogman is one of the most sought after sets ever issued. It was popular when first issued, and has remained popular through all of its different releases up to and including this 40th Anniversary release. This GI Joe play set allows kids (of all ages) to re-live the feeling that boys felt when they got their first GI Joe and were able to dress him with different equipment. I received my first Joe in 1965 when I was 11 years old, and I can tell you that there was no greater feeling of joy, than when I played with GI Joe and dressed him in different uniforms. I am not alone, as there are millions of boys who love GI Joe and his many incarnations to this day. There is no better gift for a pre-teen boy!!!
This set includes a blonde haired painted head 12" fully articulated action figure who is dressed in a USN denim fatigue uniform, and comes in a reproduction coffin box (marked 40th Anniversary) It includes a white plastic sailors cap, metal dog tag, US Navy Field Manual and insignia sheet. The window carded set includes a 3 piece black scuba suit, flippers. face mask, scuba tanks, wrist depth gauge, dynamite, knife and scabbard.
The figure and accessories have never been opened or removed from original box, and have never been played with. Box has some light shelf wear (minor scuffing and some dings), commensurate with age. The box is in very nice shape, displaying beautifully. Please review pictures and ask any questions before bidding as there are no returns on opened items :-(
