G.I. Joe Altitude Sky Patrol CAS 80 (Hasbro, 1990)....

Description

G.I. Joe Altitude Sky Patrol CAS 80 (Hasbro, 1990). Introduced in 1990 as part of Series 9, Altitude served as the Sky Patrol's recon specialist-a high-altitude operative whose photographic memory made him invaluable in surveillance and intel-gathering missions. His reflective chrome parachute pack and silver-accented uniform exemplified the Sky Patrol's distinctive aerial theme, which pushed Hasbro's innovation in materials and design during the line's later years. Altitude marked one of the final waves of G.I. Joe figures before the line's early-'90s shift toward brighter, more experimental aesthetics. Graded CAS 80 (True Grade 80.3; C75 B85 F90), this carded example presents a well-preserved specimen of the short-lived Sky Patrol subline, known for its silver parachutes. A standout from the Sky Patrol roster, Altitude embodies the fusion of realism and fantasy that defined late-era Joe design. For collectors who appreciate the experimental creativity of Hasbro's 1990s transition, this is a sharp, graded survivor from one of the franchise's most eye-catching units.
