G.I. Joe Adventure Team Demolition Equipment Set AFA 75+ ** Only 2 Graded Examples ** (Hasbro, 1972). Introduced in 1972, the Demolition Equipment Set places G.I. Joe in the high-risk role of a bomb disposal specialist, expanding the Adventure Team's mission profile into controlled danger and precision work. Outfitted with a protective armored suit, face shield, bomb disposal box, extension grippers, and a live explosive device, the set emphasizes careful handling and technical expertise. The inclusion of the bomb accessory is a defining element of this original release, reflecting a more direct and hazardous theme that would be softened in later iterations. As part of Hasbro's evolving Adventure Team concept, the set demonstrates how the line continued to push into new scenarios built around real-world occupations, while still maintaining the sense of tension and stakes that defined its appeal. Graded AFA 75+ EX+/NM with subgrades of B75 W75 F80, this example is one of only two graded examples on the population report. The Demolition set captures G.I. Joe in a moment where one wrong move is the whole game, no backup, no second chances, just steady hands and a ticking problem in front of him. Suit him up and hand him the tools, because this is the kind of job where getting it right is the only option.
