Description
G.I. Joe Adventure Team High Voltage Escape & Volcano Jumper Equipment Sets (Hasbro, 1972). Straight from the pulse-pounding, brushfire-exploding heart of the Adventure Team era, these two boxed G.I. Joe equipment sets-High Voltage Escape and Volcano Jumper-represent some of the most daring, mission-themed releases from Hasbro's 12-inch Joe line. Designed for America's Movable Man of Action, these sets offered immersive accessories, bold box art, and the kind of sci-fi-flavored danger that turned basements into battlefields.Both sets remain in their original packaging, but condition is heavily compromised. The boxes are severely damaged across the board, with multiple tears, crushing, creasing, veining, and heavy edge and corner wear. The Volcano Jumper set has a torn-open plastic window, though the internal components remain securely fastened to the display tray.
Despite the damage, the vivid artwork, complete accessory visibility, and sheer rarity of boxed examples from this era give these sets lasting collector value. For fans of the Adventure Team, these battered survivors still pack mission-ready charisma and Cold War-era drama. Whether you're restoring, displaying, or just honoring Joe's most electrifying and lava-dodging moments-this is raw, unapologetic vintage collecting at its most real. Proceed with caution. Enjoy with pride. Yo Joe.
