Description

G.I. Joe Action Team Talking Man of Action & Smoke Jumper Accessory Set (Hasbro, 1970-73). Hasbro's early 1970s G.I. Joe Adventure Team line pushed the brand into bold new territory, blending military realism with high-adventure scenarios. The Talking Man of Action, equipped with flocked hair and voice feature, was one of the team leaders who anchored the line during this era. Paired here with the Smoke Jumper accessory set, collectors get a dynamic combination: a full yellow jumpsuit with Adventure Team insignia, helmet, fire extinguisher, and chain saw-an equipment pack designed for dramatic forest fire rescue missions. Together, they capture the evolving scope of the Adventure Team concept at its peak. The Smoke Jumper accessory set box is open, with unused contents. The window is detached along the bottom and right side, with noticeable edge wear, corner wear, creasing, small tears around the window, and staining to the packaging. Contents remain unused, retaining vibrant color and clean condition. The Talking Man of Action box shows writing on the top panel, tape marks, edge wear, scuffing, and creasing. The figure itself presents well in uniform with dog tag, showing light storage wear consistent with age. For collectors of early G.I. Joe Adventure Team, this lot delivers both a key talking figure and one of the line's most distinctive accessory sets. A tangible slice of Hasbro's shift from soldier to adventurer, it's a pairing that speaks directly to the golden age of 12-inch Joes.
