Description

G.I. Joe Snake Eyes (Strait Arm) AFA 85+ ** POP 4, 2nd-Highest Grade, Only 1 Higher ** (Hasbro, 1982). One of the most iconic action figures of the 1980s, this 11-Back Series 1 Snake Eyes made his debut in Hasbro's 1982 relaunch of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero as part of the original lineup. With his all-black commando gear, mysterious masked appearance, and silent-but-deadly persona, Snake Eyes quickly became a defining figure in the line, cementing his legendary status in both toy and comic book history. Graded AFA 85+ NM+ with subgrades of C85 B85 F90, this example is a POP 4 and stands as the second-highest grade with only one higher example known to exist. An absolute grail for G.I. Joe collectors, early cardback enthusiasts, or anyone building a top-tier run of the most important characters in action figure history, this is a flagship piece that rarely appears in this condition. A definitive version of a pop culture icon.
