Description

G.I. Joe Countdown AFA 90 ** POP 6, 2nd-Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Hasbro, 1989). Released in 1989 as part of Series 8, Countdown serves as the G.I. Joe Team's dedicated astronaut, introduced as the line began expanding into more ambitious, space-based concepts. As a NASA-trained astronaut, fighter pilot, and electronics engineer, he represents one of the most technically specialized figures in the A Real American Hero run, created to operate alongside the Defiant Space Vehicle Launch Complex, one of the most complex and expansive playsets in the brand's history. His role ties him directly to that release, grounding the Defiant with a figure built specifically for orbital missions. Graded AFA 90 NM+/MT with subgrades of C90 B90 F85. This example ranks as the second-highest grade on the population report, with only one graded higher. A figure intrinsically tied to the Defiant and the Joe team's expansion beyond Earth, presented at a near-top population grade, this is an opportunity collectors focused on late-run ARAH will not want to to let drift by.
