Description

G.I. Joe Talking Action Sailor & Solider Figures (Hasbro, 1967). This G.I. Joe lot contains two talking action figures released by Hasbro in 1967, each representing a classic military branch. The G.I. Joe Talking Action Soldier is outfitted in his military uniform with a hat, boots, and dog tags, and comes with the Army manual. While the stickers, boot removal insert, comic ad, and instructions are missing, the figure is housed in its original discolored box, which includes the insert. The G.I. Joe Talking Action Sailor is dressed in his Navy uniform with boots, hat, and dog tags, and includes the Navy manual, an unused sticker sheet, and inserts for boot removal and instructions. Missing the original box insert and comic ad, the figure shows staining on the shirt. The Soldier's box displays handling wear, including edge and corner wear, water damage, scuffing, fading, surface wear, and creasing, with a torn top-left corner and additional creasing and scuffing wear on the bottom. The Sailor's box exhibits similar handling wear, with edge and corner wear, surface wear, tears on the lid, creasing, scuffing, discoloration on the bottom, and a unique sticker on the top. The talking mechanisms of both figures have not been tested. This G.I. Joe lot offers a unique glimpse into the history of these iconic 1967 talking action figures, capturing the timeless appeal of Hasbro's classic line.
