FROM MY RECENT HONG KONG FIND OF ALL SORTS OF GOODIES...... SOME ITEMS WERE FACTORY OVER STOCK PRODUCTION......SOME WERE FACTORY SAMPLES OR MOCK-UPS.......WE ALSO HAVE MANY VINTAGE 1960's & 1970's GI JOE KNOCK OFF STYLE SETS IN PACKAGES, SOME OF THOSE ARE SAMPLE MARKED AS WELL
THIS LOT IS FOR A UNIQUE SET THAT I BELIEVE FACTORY WORKERS PUT TOGETHER YEARS AFTER THE LINE ENDED
I KNOW THEY HAD OVERSTOCK OF 8 ROPES OF DANGER BOXES AS WE FOUND A COUPLE OF THOSE BOXES THAT WERE MADE INTO OTHER FANTASY TYPE SETS...
SO IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK THE OUTER BOX OF A 8 ROPES OF DANGER BOX.....NICE DARK COLOR......DOES SHOW MINOR BUMPS / BRUISES FROM MOVING AROUND....
THERE IS A FORM FITTED PLASTIC CELLO BAG OVER THE SET ..., YOU CAN SE THE REMAINS OF OLDER TAPE , THEN MORE RECENT/DIFFERENT TAPE.....BUT EVEN THE RECENT TAPE WAS PROBABLY 25 YEARS AGO I WOULD GUESS .
LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK A UNUSED OVER STOCK 1969 ADVENTURES OF FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL SET AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A WINDOW BOX VERSION........LIGHTER BLUE BACKING CARD I SEE , NOT SURE IF THAT WAS FROM SOMETHING ELSE OR NOT......THEY STRUNG IT IN, A FEW STAPLES USED TOO I SEE THEY SHOW AGE.... A FEW PIECES GOT LOOSE OVER THE YEARS...... I AM SURE YOU CAN CAREFULLY GET INTO THE BOX TO SHORE UP THE CONTENTS IF YOU WISH.
SOME OF THE SIDES/ENDS SHOW CUT OUTS I THINK FROM THE COMIC BOOKLET
INTERESTING THAT USE USED A INSTRUCTION SHEET FROM THE 1970 VERSION - SEE PIC OF BACK WHERE THEY PLACED THE INSTRUCTUONS.
HAND WRITTEN COA TELLING THE MASH UP STORY INCLUDED ON REQUEST........
WE ARE SELLING THESE ITEMS AS FOUND, THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR PARTIAL REFUNDS.....BY OFFERING/BUYING YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS .
