Vintage Hasbro GI Joe ARAH 1983 V1 Ace Complete W/Uncut File Card NM!


This vintage original Hasbro GI Joe 1983 V1 Ace is complete with its original helmet, includes an original uncut file card, and is in beautiful condition! It has clean original color and gloss with only a few tiny spots of playwear. His facial details and hair are undamaged. The red details on his chest and stomach have bright color and no wear at all. The red pouches on the outside of his upper arms have no playwear but the pouch on the left arm has a bit of factory underpaint on the top. His gloves have no wear on the knuckles, palms, fingertips or thumbs. The fragile thumbs have no cracks or stress marks. The waist section is in amazing condition with none of the typical heavy wear on the lettering on his backside. The gray details on the front and outside of each leg are also in beautiful condition with just a tiny spot near his left knee that I can only see with a magnifying glass and bright light. The boots have none of the typical wear on the heels and just a few tiny spots on the sharp edges of the soles. The cream color of his flight suit is fairly consistent throughout the figure with a little bit of contrast between the outside and inside pieces of his upper left leg. I can only really see this under harsh fluorescent light. The original factory gloss is still present on the entire figure with no scuffs or damage. The shoulder, elbow and neck joints are firm. The right knee is somewhat loose but does not prevent the figure from standing on its own. The O-ring is new and the waist joint is firm. The elbows have no cracks or hairlines and the waist section is unbroken. The screws are original and rust free. The footpeg holes are undamaged and fit a stand tightly. The SmallJoes figure stand is not included with the figure. The helmet is original Hasbro and is original to this particular figure. It has a rough epm and a couple of light spots on the back but none of the paint on the helmet is actually missing. The clear part of the helmet has no scratches or gouges. The file card has no creasing or veining at all. It is uncut but has a factory miscut on the left side that leaves some of the original border line from the card that was originally to the right at the factory. The peach color is clean with no stains, faded areas or markings. It has a single tiny transfer mark just above the O in the title. The corners have no major dog ears or damage. The reverse is perfectly clean and shows no signs of water or humidity damage. The card has no warping or bending and lays perfectly flat. This is a beautiful original set that has survived over four decades in wonderful condition! It will certainly be a beautiful addition to any high-grade vintage Hasbro GI Joe collection!


This V1 Ace and your purchase both deserve respectful packing. It will be shipped in a box completely protected with bubble wrap and packing peanuts. The uncut file card will be placed between two pieces of cardboard. This set comes from a smoke free home. Please msg me if you have any questions or need additional photos. 🙂
