GI Joe Payload 1994 V4 Black/Blue Complete MOC Original 90's Hasbro Sealed NEW. This is really just about as good as they get.

This is Hasbronsourced and while not a prototype. It came from a collection with a massive amount of prototypes and engineering pilots. The Hasbro source that I purchased this from was one of the people that set up new factories in the Orient. Those factory would send prototypes and first runs of samples like this. Literally everything he had was a factory sample. But in this case, the sample looks identical to what was put on the store shelf.

This figure lacked the paper pamphlet that came in some of the other releases (near the figure and the weapons tree). This card variation is first variation that was released and approved by him for Hasbro
