Auction is for a brand new GI Joe 12" Adventures of GI Joe playset, Trouble At Prosperity Bank from 1999.
GI Joe is the iconic American toy line of articulated 12" action figures owned and produced by the toy company Hasbro. The initial product offering was produced in the years from 1964 to 1969 and represented four of the branches of the US Armed Forces, the Action Soldier (Army), Action Sailor (Navy), Action Pilot (Air Force), and Action Marine (Marine Corp). It may best be remembered for its original tagline, "America's Movable Fighting Man. The name is derived from the usage of "GI Joe" for the generic U.S. soldier. The development of the GI Joe toy line led to the coining of the term "action figure" (not a doll!). GI Joe's appeal to boys has made it an American classic among toys, having been named Toy of the Century by The Children's Museum of Indianapolis in 2012, when over 24,000 folks, young and old, voted for their favorite toy of the last century. By 1968-69, however, sales had dropped drastically as America was embroiled in the Vietnam War. Hasbro had to reconsider the toy lines focus. Since its original release, Hasbro has introduced and reintroduced several different versions of this iconic hero in order to keep this wonderful toy relevant to satisfy consumer needs. One of the most popular lines was the Adventure Team.
The figure is a 12" fully articulated Classic Collection GI Joe African American figure with classic collection (pinhead) painted head and super articulated hands. This set continued Hasbro's reintroduction of the Adventure Team, which it began the year before. Even if Hasbro hadn't reintroduced the AT logo, or even admitted this is indeed the "Adventure Team", there can be no denying the intent of this series. This set includes a Policeman with pistol and shotgun. This toy will provide hours of quality play time...without a screen!
