G.I. JOE MACHINE GUN DEFENSE UNIT
Items are in very good condition, Nothing has been glued, painted, jimmy-rigged or made to appear other than what it is. I have cleaned the parts top to bottom and inside and out. The sticker placement still looks good.
The
two M-3578:Barricade Crosses pieces fit together well with the
M-3578:Barricade Legs and are in good condition - one has some melt marks on it, the large green sign has an intact sticker, and stands well, the machine gun, tripod and
original ammo belt all fit together well, the ammo can is original. I am also including a G.I. JOE P.O.W. chain link fence dio that connects to itself. Both green figure stands are NOT included.
Please
look at the multiple pictures of every angle I have provided, in high
resolution, to make your own decision on the grade of the item - good
luck finding another sale where this much detail is disclosed!
The Machine Gun Defense Unit is a quick pre-fab kit that the Gi Joe team can assemble around an area they wish to fortify in a hurry. It consists of several tripod barricades (good for creating confined spaces and denying tanks entry), a rather large and obvious sign indicating that you are now in a Restricted Area, and that you should stay clear, and of course the eponymous machine gun.
The gun provided for the Machine Gun Defense Unit kit is a 750 rpm EX-344 universal, 50 caliber machine gun. This gun can be fired in short, controlled bursts or full-auto in a pinch for the ultimate in shooting damage. It also comes with a box full of spare ammunition belts, so the operator of the Machine Gun Defense Unit can fire for a long time if needed.
Very good figure, he has really good tight joints, arm swivels are good, some paint wear / paint rubs, looks great, New O-ring and no screw rust.
Appearance: black hair and mustache; dark green shirt with brown vest and silver ammo; silver gloves; dark green pants with black boots and silver leg armor.
One
of the original G.I. Joe team members from the very inception,
Zap has a reputation for coolness under fire and a totally
professional attitude. He is the team specialist in infantry
portable, armor-defeating, high-explosive projectile delivery
systems, which is to say, that if it's a weapon that a grunt can
carry, and it can knock out a tank, Zap has probably got one. When he
heard the Sonic Fighters were looking for someone with the
battlefield savvy to man some of the most powerful ground artillery
ever made, ZAP said, 'Me first!'"
"Zap is a square, in
the best, old-fashioned sense of the word. He can look you straight
in the eye and not flinch, because he's got nothing to be ashamed of
and nothing to hide. Does this make him a better soldier? Not
TECHNICALLY, but it certainly makes him a person you'd want to
soldier with."
Assigned Armaments: 40mm XM179 Lightweight
Grenade Launcher, and 3.5in. XM20 Surface-to-Surface Double-Barreled
Rocket Launcher
Weapons Qualification: Expert
An
original member of the G.I. JOE Team, ZAP has a reputation for
coolness under fire and a totally professional attitude. He is the
team specialist in infantry-portable, armor-defeating, high-explosive
projectile delivery systems, which is to say that if it's a weapon
that a soldier can carry and it can blow up a tank, ZAP has probably
got one. Proficient in everything from demolitions to utilizing
Tactical Automated Fire Control Systems (TAFCS) for field artillery,
he's like a computer. . . always learning and adding
the latest hardware or upgrades in technology. This vast knowledge of
the necessary tools and applied techniques adds to his battlefield
savvy.
ZAP is always on the front line, ready to clear terrain
obstacles, breach fortifications, or handle any explosive threats to
maximize the safety of his team. He stays in top physical condition,
because he knows the demanding requirements of carrying heavy
ordnance onto the battlefield. Currently engaged in cold weather
training in Colorado, he will do whatever it takes to impede the
forces of COBRA and stop them from acquiring anything from the Rocky
Mountain Arsenal.

cans."
