G.I. Joe Action Team European Adventure Sets Lot of 4 (Schildkröt & Polistil, 1970-75)....

Description

G.I. Joe Action Team European Adventure Sets Lot of 4 (Schildkröt & Polistil, 1970-75). This multinational Adventure Team lot includes three boxed equipment sets from Schildkröt (Germany) and one carded outfit from Polistil (Italy). These Action Team releases carried on the legacy of G.I. Joe overseas, adapting mission concepts and packaging art for regional audiences while preserving the play value and modular gear that defined the line.

The boxed sets include Rettungskommando (Rescue Commando), Mountie - Kanadische Bundespolizei, and Polarforschung (Polar Research). The carded hiking outfit is Italian, issued by Polistil, with original blister and branded artwork. Packaging across the lot shows moderate to heavy wear, including scuffing, creasing, edge wear, and corner softening, with surface damage from long-term storage and handling. The Rescue Commando's tape is lifting along the bottom edge, and both the Mountie and Rescue Commando boxes have small cracks in their blister windows. The Polistil carded outfit has a blister that is barely attached-only holding at the bottom edge, though the card itself presents well with bright printing despite heavy creasing. The combination of German and Italian packaging, regional artwork, and original contents makes this a strong find for collectors interested in G.I. Joe's global legacy. Rarely offered together in any condition, this lot is a mission briefing straight out of the international toy trenches-ready for collectors who value the world-spanning history of America's movable man of action.
